External expansion bus interface circuit for connecting a micro control unit, and a digital recording and reproducing apparatus incorporating said interface circuit

摘要

An external expansion bus interface circuit is provided for connecting a peripheral to a micro control unit to exchange digital information under an external expansion memory mode of the micro control unit. For this purpose, the eternal expansion bus interface circuit includes a means for storing a writing data. Address decoder and a strobe decoder are connected to the micro control unit to directly receive the writing data, an address strobe, and a write strobe. Then the address decoder and strobe decoder produce a write enable signal for enabling the memory to store the data at address designated thereby.
