Abstract
A grouping device comprises a register table and a grouping unit the register table having m registers corresponding to m groups, each register including an n-bits data storing portion corresponding to the n input signals, for registering relationships between the n input signals and the m groups, the grouping unit receiving grouping signals output from the register table and the n input signals, for selecting one group from the m groups for each input signal and grouping each input signal into the selected group in accordance with the register table. Therefore, the register access time is shortened and the confirmation of the contents of the register by the CPU is made easier.
