S1D13505 Interfacing to the NEC VR4121 Microprocessor
X23A-G-011-04 Issue Date: 01/02/05
3 S1D13505 Host Bus Interface
The S1D13505 directly supports multiple processors. The S1D13505 implements a 16- bit
MIPS/ISA Host Bus Interface which is most suitable for direct connection to the VR4121
microprocessor.
The MIPS/ISA host bus interface is selected by the S1D13505 on the rising edge of
RESET#. After releasing reset the bus interface signals assume their selected conf iguration.
For details on S1D13505 configuration, see Section 4.2, S1D13505 Configuration on
page 13.
Note
At reset, the Host Interface Disable bit in the Miscellaneous Disable Register
(REG[1Bh] bit 7) is set to 1. This means that only REG[1Ah] (read-only) and
REG[1Bh] are accessible until a write to REG[1Bh] sets bit 7 to 0 making all regis-
ters accessible. When debugging a new hardware design, this can sometimes give the
appearance that the interface is not working , so it is important to remember to clear this
bit before proceeding with debugging.
