ABSTRACT:
A circuit arrangement having a plurality of circuit units (1-l to 1-n) each circuit unit (1-l to 1-n) having an input AI and and output AO. Each circuit unit (1-l to 1-n) includes an address generator which is incremented by a clock signal applied via terminal. Incrementation of the clock generator is inhibited when a logical `1` is applied to the input AI of a circuit unit. In order to generate addresses for all the circuit units they are connected in a daisy chain with the AO output of each circuit unit being connected to the AI input of the next circuit in the chain. The circuit units (1-l to 1-n) are arranged so that when a logical `1` is applied to its AI input a logical `1` appears at its AO output one clock period later. A monitoring unit may be provided to detect when all addresses have been set up by monitoring the state of the AO output of the last circuit unit (1-n) in the chain. This arrangement enables unique addresses to be allocated to all the circuit units while allowing each of the circuit units to be manufactured in identical form.
