Renesas Technology to Introduce Single-chip SuperH Microcontrollers With USB2.0 Host, Audio and LCD Display Controller Functions for Car Digital Audio Products
Offering About 70 Percent Higher Speed Than Previous Renesas
Solutions, the New MCUs Have the Performance Needed to Handle
Control and Signal Processing Tasks
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 8, 2006—
Renesas Technology America, Inc., a subsidiary of the world's
largest supplier of microcontrollers, Renesas Technology Corp., today
announced five SH7263 single-chip solutions for simplifying and
reducing the cost of car audio, home audio, and similar digital audio
systems that offer more performance and features. The new SuperH(R)
32-bit microcontrollers have a 200MHz, 32-bit SH-2A CPU core with a
built-in floating point unit (FPU) and include a USB2.0 Host interface
for portable-audio-player connectivity and an LCD controller for
WVGA-size color screens. They also integrate a CD-ROM decoder and
additional audio peripherals, among many other on-chip functions.
Striving toward a goal that constantly incorporates advances
"The ideal single-chip solution clearly is a moving target," said
Paul Sykes, segment marketing manager, automotive business unit,
Renesas Technology America, Inc. "System makers are constantly
upgrading the performance and functionality of their products.
Renesas, like other semiconductor manufacturers, constantly innovates,
pushing technology limits to deliver chips that customers can use to
produce designs with advanced features."
Compared to the previous-generation 120MHz SH7261, the new 200MHz
SH7263 microcontrollers deliver about 70 percent more speed, achieving
480 MIPS (million instructions per second) and 400 MFLOPS (mega
floating-point number operations per second) performance. Moreover,
the new devices have a higher level of integration which includes a
host interface that supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard
v2.0 High-Speed specification, and a display controller that supports
color liquid crystal panels up to WVGA size (800 x 480 pixels). They
are also capable of supporting various digital audio CODEC middleware
formats, including MP3, WMA, and AAC.
The high processing performance that the SH7263 microcontrollers
deliver lets customers implement multi-CODEC compatibility by software
alone, for greater design flexibility. The devices also allow support
for the Digital Rights Management (DRM) required for audio content
protection processing through music distribution. These capabilities
are a response to strong customer demand for reducing the number of
component parts by incorporating digital audio processing functions in
the microcontrollers previously used mainly just for system control.
Achieving higher ROM code efficiency
The instruction set of the SH2A-FPU in the SH7263 and SH7203
microcontrollers is upward compatible with those of the SH-2A and SH-2
CPU cores, allowing customers to reuse programs developed for existing
products. At the same time, ROM code efficiency has been improved by
approximately 75 percent compared with the SH-2 core, an improvement
that makes it possible to reduce program size by approximately 25
percent.
The high signal processing performance and ROM code efficiency
enable MP3, WMA, AAC, and similar voice and music data compression and
expansion processing to be executed by an SH7263 chip at a lower
frequency and by a smaller program. As a result, system control and
digital audio processing previously performed by separate chips can
all be handled by an SH7263, so fewer components are needed. This
makes it possible to implement a low-power-consumption system at lower
cost.
The SH7263 also incorporates many other functions ideal for audio
systems. They include a sampling rate converter (SRC) that converts
the audio data sampling frequency, a serial sound interface (SSI) for
input and output of digital audio data, a serial communication
interface with 16-stage FIFO (SCIF), and an I2C bus interface. There
is also an 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, a 2-channel 8-bit D/A
converter, 8-channel direct memory access control (DMAC), control area
network (CAN) controller, and NAND flash controller. A 5-channel
multifunction timer unit (MTU2) is suitable for motor control and can
produce a 3-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) wave output for
controlling AC motors.
The company also announced the SH7203 microcontroller, which lacks
the on-chip audio oriented functions and is suitable for many general
consumer and industrial applications.
Facilitating faster, easier system development
On-chip debugging functions enable real-time debugging to be
carried out at the maximum operating frequency. For the development
environment, the USB bus-powered E10A-USB requiring no external power
supply can be used as an emulator. The comprehensive range of hardware
and software development tools available from Renesas and third
parties includes the High-performance Embedded Workshop integrated
development environment. MP3, WMA, AAC, and other
voice-compression-standard compatible middleware products are also
available, as are a CD-ROM ISO9660 file system and a HDD FAT32 file
system.
