Abstract

To provide a data processor having a bus means whereby high-speed data exchange can be performed stably among a plurality of inner circuits (1 to 5) without dissipation of useless current, the bus means comprises more than one bus selectors (7 and 8) cascade-connected into a loop by way of bus lines. Each (7) of the bus selectors outputs bus data supplied from a preceding bus selector (8) as bus data to be supplied towards a following bus selector (8) when none of the inner circuits (1 to 3) connected to the bus selector (7) enables an output enable signal, and outputs output data of one of the inner circuits (1 to 3) connected to the bus selector (7) as the bus data to be supplied towards the following bus selector (8) when the inner circuit enables the output enable signal.
