VR 4 1 2 1 6 4 - B I T M I P S R I S C M I C R O P R O C E S S O R FOR WINDOWS CE
The 64-bit VR4121TM (µPD30121) microprocessor is a member of NEC's VR SeriesTM devices created for Windows® CE embedded consumer applications. Designed around the MIPS® RISC architecture developed by MIPS Technologies, the VR4121 offers excellent power consumption and performance in a highly integrated, low-cost system on a chip. This microprocessor is the second NEC device to use the ultra-low-power-consuming VR4120TM CPU core based on advanced 0.25-micron technology. The VR4120 CPU has an optimized five-stage pipeline, 16-KB instruction cache, 8-KB data cache, multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit, and memory management unit that enable high performance in a compact, low-cost chip. Integrated peripherals include a power management unit, direct memory access unit, interrupt control unit, timers, real-time clock, 16550-compatible serial interface, IrDA® interface, keyboard interface, touch-panel interface, host signal processing unit (software modem), and A/D and D/A converters. The VR4121 is compatible with MIPS III instruction set architecture (ISA) and MIPS16 application-specific extension (ASE). The MIPS16 ASE compatibility enables the VR4121 to incorporate 16-bit-long instructions with conventional 32-bit-long instructions, resulting in compact code size, a smaller memory requirement, and lower system cost. The VR4121 provides an easy choice for VR4111TM customers in terms of upgrade, since the VR4121 and VR4111 are fully pin compatible. The VR4121 microprocessor's high speed, compact size, and low power consumption make it ideal for use in a battery-driven, portable handheld systems.
