The VRC4375TM system controller is a software-configurable chip that interfaces directly
with an NEC VR43xxTM 64-bit MIPS RISC CPU and PCI bus without external logic or
buffering. The system controller also interfaces with memory (SDRAM, EDO, fast-page
DRAM, and flash/boot ROM) with minimal to no buffering. The memory bus can also
interface with SRAM and general-purpose I/O devices. As an interface with the VR43xx
CPU, the VRC4375 acts as a memory controller, DMA controller, and PCI bridge. As an
interface with PCI agents, the VRC4375 acts as either a PCI bus master or a PCI bus
target. Alternatively, the VRC4375 may be located on a PCI bus add-on board.
