DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PD31172 (commercial name: V
RC
4172) is a companion chip designed for NEC’s
µ
PD30121 microprocessor
(commercial name: V
R
4121).
The V
RC
4172 has the following functions available on chip: a USB host controller, an IEEE1284 parallel controller,
a 16550 serial controller, a PS/2 controller, general-purpose ports (GPIO), programmable chip select (PCS), and a
PWM controller (a duty modulated light pulse generation function for LCD backlighting).
The V
RC
4172 can be directly connected to the V
R
4121, allowing a reduction in the man-hours required for
development of a Windows™ CE system.
Detailed function descriptions are provided in the following user’s manual. Be sure to read it before
designing.
