2.1 The NEC VR4181A System Bus
2.1.1 Overview

X27A-G-013-02
The VR-Series family of microprocessors features a high-speed synchronous system bus
typical of modern microprocessors. Designed with external LCD controller support and
Windows CE based embedded consumer applications in mind, the VR4181A offers a
highly integrated solution for portable systems. This section is an overview of the operation
of the CPU bus to establish interface requirements.
The NEC VR4181A is designed around the RISC architecture developed by MIPS. This
microprocessor is designed around the 100MHz VR4110 CPU core which supports the
MIPS III and MIPS16 instruction sets. The CPU communicates with external devices via
an ISA interface.
The NEC VR4181A has direct support for an external LCD controller. A 64 to 512-kilobyte
block of memory is assigned to the LCD controller with a dedicated chip select signal.
Word or byte accesses are controlled by the system high byte signal, #UBE.
