is a custom or semi-custom Video Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) . While not a standard off-the-shelf part (like an Analog Devices ADV7125), MPR-21931 appears in Sega NAOMI schematic diagrams as the component responsible for converting the digital RGB data from the PowerVR2 (chip ELAN or NEC) into analog RGB signals for the VGA or JAMMA RGB output. In technical terms, is an image of the
