ABSTRACT:
Data transferring buffer circuits for data exchange include a plurality of buffers corresponding to a plurality of data sources for independently receiving and storing data sent from the plurality of data sources, and a buffer limit signal generating circuit for delivering a buffer limit signal when the amount of data stored in a buffer reaches a predetermined limit. The buffer circuits also include a data read signal generating circuit for selecting one of the buffers and generating a data reading signal for the selected buffer. The data reading signal is generated based on a remaining amount of data and information concerning a vacancy at a buffer to which data is to be supplied. The buffer circuits also include a selected data delivery circuit for adopting data selected by the data read signal generating circuit and for delivering the adopted data.
