A '''data path''' is a term for [[hardware]] (often a [[conductor]], or group of them) which carries data from one functional entity to another - e.g. from a [[register]] to an [[arithmetic-logic unit‎|ALU]]. Although one might think of a [[bus]] as a data path (and, in some sense, that is correct), the term 'data path' is usually used for fixed, limited connections.
