Abstract

The interface control system of this invention renders a high speed CPU compatible with low speed expansion devices such as expansion interfaces. The system causes the CPU clock signal to be in phase with the interface clock signal at the end of the last cycle of an interface cycle. At the end of the interface cycle, the system selects between a positive high speed and a negative high speed clock to be the CPU clock signal applied to the CPU.
