Renesas Technology Releases 600 MHz SuperH Family SH7785 for High-Performance Multimedia Systems

Renesas has announced the SH7785 microprocessor, offering maximum 600 MHz operation and incorporating the SuperH Family's top-end SH-4A CPU core and a display unit comprising an LCD panel controller, for high-performance multimedia systems such as amusement machines and car navigation systems.

Incorporating high-performance SH-4A CPU core and advanced LCD panel controller, and achieving 50% increase in processing performance

The SH7785 offers a 50% increase in speed and enhanced functions compared with the current SH7780 (with maximum 400 MHz operation capability) incorporating an SH-4A core.

The SH7785 incorporates an SH-4A CPU core with a maximum operating frequency of 600 MHz, providing high processing performance of 1 GIPS (giga instructions per second) or more. Large-capacity on-chip cache memory (32 Kbytes each for instructions and data) and RAM (8 Kbytes for instructions, 16 Kbytes for data, and 128 Kbytes for common use) also help to speed up software processing.
