Interfacing to the Philips MIPS PR31500/PR31700 Processor
Issue Date: 01/02/12
This application note describes the hardware and software environment required to provide an
interface between the S1D13704 Embedded Memory Color Graphics LCD Controller and the
Philips MIPS PR31500/PR31700 Processor.
For further information on the S1D13704, refer to the S1D13704 Hardware Functional Specifi-
cation, document number X26A-A-001-xx.
For further information on the PR31500/PR31700, contact Philips or refer to the Philips website at
http://www.philips.com.
For further information on the ITE IT8368E, refer to the IT8368E PC Card / GPIO Buffer Chip
Specification.
The Philips MIPS PR31500/PR31700 processor supports up to two PC Card (PCMCIA) slots. It is
through this host bus interface that the S1D13704 connects to the PR31500/PR31700 processor.
The S1D13704 can be successfully interfaced using one of two configurations:
• Direct connection to PR31500/PR31700 (see Section 2, "Direct Connection to the Philips
PR31500/PR31700" on page 8).
• System design using one ITE IT8368E PC Card/GPIO buffer chip (see Section 3, "System
Design Using the ITE IT8368E PC Card Buffer" on page 10).
