Abstract

A control circuit, for use in a telephone switching system, which monitors, controls and transfers data to and from memory, input-output devices and external circuits. A microprocessor operates under control of read-only and random-access memories. It communicates with the external telephone system via bus transceivers and a programmable interrupt controller. The integrity of this circuit is monitored by high reliability data and address parity circuits.
