A gating circuit for gating a minimum duration input signal on one of a plurality of input lines (10) to a respective output line (16). The input lines (10) are coupled to a latch (15) comprising flip-flops and the latch is enabled when a signal is applied to a clock input (18). The input lines (10) are coupled to a verifier circuit (25) which includes a verifier gate (27) receiving direct and delayed signals from a NAND gate (32) connected to the input lines (10). The verifier gate (27) applies a signal to the clock input (18) when both inputs (28, 29) are simultaneously receiving a signal so that signals less than the minimum duration do not result in a signal at clock input (18). The NAND gate (41) applies a signal to locking gate (44) when any one output (16) of latch (15) is energised, and the output (47) of locking gate (44) holds a disabling signal on clock input (18) so that only the first input signal on a line (10) will be latched. A reset means (50) including reset gate (51) and switch (53) enables resetting of the latch (15). |
