Single-chip SuperH Microcontrollers with USB2.0 Host, Audio and LCD Display Controller Functions for Car Digital Audio Products
Renesas has announced five SH7263 single-chip solutions for simplifying and reducing the cost of car audio, home audio, and similar digital audio systems.
Offering about 70 percent higher speed than previous Renesas solutions, the new MCUs have the performance needed to handle control and signal processing tasks.
The new SuperH 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.
“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.”
