Renesas Technology Introduces SuperH(R) Microprocessor That Supports Gigabit Ethernet for Network Devices and Digital Home Appliances
The High-Performance SH7763 Device Has a 2-Channel Gigabit
Ethernet Controller and PCI Bus Controller to Enable High-Speed Data
Transmissions
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sept. 12, 2005—
Renesas Technology America, Inc. today announced a powerful 32-bit
SuperH microprocessor for implementing gigabit connectivity for
digital network products. The SH7763 microprocessor suits business
products such as IT terminals, VoIP end-points, surveillance cameras,
networking infrastructure equipment, and digital home appliances
including media receivers, home servers, and PC peripherals.
The new microprocessor incorporates an SH-4A dual-issue
superscalar RISC CPU core with a built-in floating point unit (FPU)
for higher performance and precise real-time processing capabilities.
The SH7763, for example, doubles its performance by achieving 478
million instructions per second (MIPS), and 1.9 giga floating point
operations per second (GFLOPS) at the operating frequency of 266MHz.
The 7-stage pipeline in the RISC core and the 10-stage pipeline in the
FPU enable greater parallelism in instruction execution. The internal
SuperHyway bus allows simultaneous transfers of data between memory
and peripherals at high speeds. These architectural enhancements in
the SH-4A will benefit multimedia and data-intensive applications,
such as graphics and video. The instruction set from the new SH-4A
core is fully upward compatible with the SH-4 architecture, allowing
engineers to utilize existing programs and helps reduce system
development time.
The device also provides powerful on-chip functions, including a
two-channel Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controller supporting 10/100/1000
Mbps LANs, and PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus controller.
The on-chip two-channel GbE controller supports the IEEE802.3
compliant RMII (Reduced Media Independent Interface) interface
specification, so it can be used simultaneously with the on-chip
32-bit-wide PCI bus controller that supports the PCI Rev.2.2 standard.
The SH7763's PCI bus interface allows seamless communication with
IEEE802.11a/g/b compatible wireless LAN chips. When built into digital
appliances, the SH7763 has sufficient processing throughput and
on-chip hardware functionality to control the operation of that
product, while simultaneously handling data traffic from connections
to two Ethernet wired 10/100 Mbps LANs and a wireless LAN. By
providing both 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) high-speed LAN support and a
high-performance CPU core, the microprocessor enables the fast network
transfers essential for high-speed transmission and reception of
movies and similar large-volume data.
The security accelerator that the SH7763 provides performs
high-speed encryption/decryption processing. It supports Data
Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (3DES), and Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) as data encryption methods, and Message Digest-5 (MD5)
and Secure Hash Algorithm-1 (SHA-1) as authentication data generation
methods. The device's two-channel moving-image-stream interface can
handle high-speed transfer of the MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream)
transfer format and can connect to an MPEG-2 encoder/decoder chip.
Secure transfer of digital content -- such as transmissions from
terrestrial digital broadcasting systems -- is made possible by
transmitting and receiving the streaming data on a network after
performing encryption/decryption processing with the security
accelerator on the SH7763.
A double-data-rate (DDR) SDRAM interface integrated in the SH7763
facilitates the high-speed data processing by the SH-4A core and the
high-speed data transfers by the GbE, PCI, and security accelerator.
The SH7763 makes it possible to implement a highly integrated and
high-performance system. Other on-chip SH7763 peripherals include a
USB interface, serial communication interface, audio CODEC interface,
timers, MultiMediaCard interface, Direct Memory Access Controller
(DMAC), color-LCD controller, and more.
Various well-proven development-environment tools are available
for the new microprocessor. They include evaluation boards such as
Hitachi ULSI Systems' Solution Engine, and the Renesas E10A-USB
emulator.
