GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PR31500 Processor is a single-chip, low-cost, integrated embedded processor consisting of MIPS R3000 core and system support logic to interface with various types of devices. PR31500 consists of a MIPS R3000 RISC CPU with 4 KBytes of instruction cache memory and 1 KByte of data cache memory, plus integrated functions for interfacing to numerous system components and external I/O modules. The R3000 RISC CPU is also augmented with a multiply/accumulate module to allow integrated DSP functions, such as a software modem for high-performance standard data and fax protocols. In addition the PR31500 provides a memory management unit with an on-chip Translation Look aside Buffer (TLB) for very fast virtual to physical address translation. PR31500 also contains multiple DMA channels and a high-performance and flexible Bus Interface Unit (BIU) for providing an efficient means for transferring data between external system memory, cache memory, the CPU core, and external I/O modules.
