Abstract

A bus state control circuit controls the access operation on the basis of access request signals supplied thereto. The access of an input-output device starts after a predetermined time interval in the case when a previous access was made to the input-output device, while it starts immediately in the case when the previous access was made to a main memory device or when such access was made to the input-output device or such access was made to the input-output device but a predetermined time has passed at a point in time when the access request signal indicates the access of the input-output device.
