Caution
The
µµµµPD98502 doesn’t support MIPS16 instructions.
This chapter describes an V
R
4120A RISC Processor Core operation (MIPS instruction, Pipeline, etc.). Following in
this Document, it is call for V
R
4120A RISC Processor Core with “V
R
4120A” or “V
R
4120A Core” simply.
2.1 Overview for V
R
4120A
Figure 2-1 shows the internal block diagram of the V
R
4120A core.
In addition to the conventional high-performance integer operation units, this CPU core has the full-associative
format translation look aside buffer (TLB), which has 32 entries that provide mapping to 2-page pairs (odd and even)
for one entry. Moreover, it also has instruction caches, data caches, and bus interface.
