Abstract

An electronic digital processor system including an internal memory means further including an electrically programmable read-only memory for the storage of data and commands which define operations on the data. Also included is an arithmetic and logic unit for performing operations on the data and a register set for temporary storage of data and addresses. Further included is a plurality of data paths which couple the internal memory with the arithmetic and logic unit and registers. Control and timing circuitry is provided for the execution of commands that access the memory and arithmetic and logic unit by the registers and for the execution of commands for programming the electrically programmable read-only memory.
