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

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.
