The 32-bit microcontrollers in the Renesas SuperH family span a wide performance range. They deliver the processing required by today's sophisticated designs and those of tomorrow — and do so at the moderate levels of power consumption essential for embedded system designs. From devices with the 50MHz SH-2 CPU to those with the 200MHz superscalar SH-2A CPU, the upward-compatible product series in the SuperH family are modern microcontrollers that span many price/performance points and provide optimized peripheral sets.
Enhanced features, including a floating-point unit (FPU), MAC, high-speed barrel shifter, and abundant addressing modes, offer DSP-like performance with RISC-style programming. Renesas' high-density, high-performance MONOS flash memory technology offers single-cycle access to on-chip flash memory at up to 160MHz clock rates for high throughput. These and other SuperH features enable cost-effective system implementations with major advantages. The microcontrollers shorten design cycles for capitalizing on market opportunities, too, because they're supported by comprehensive, easy-to-use Renesas HW/SW tools, plus operating systems, drivers, middleware, consulting services, etc., from many suppliers.
