Renesas Releases SH7262 and SH7264 SuperH Microcontrollers

Renesas Technology has announced eight product versions of the SH7262 and SH7264 high-performance 32-bit microcontrollers with 1 Mbyte of on-chip SRAM for digital audio and graphical dashboard applications. Part of the SuperH Family of 32-bit RISC microcontroller/ microprocessor, the SH7262 and SH7264 belong to the SH7260 Series of microcontrollers for digital audio applications. A full 1 Mbyte of SRAM, which can be used in place of external synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), is integrated on-chip. The SH7262 and SH7264 are built around the SH2A-FPU CPU core (which incorporates an FPU), have a maximum operating frequency of 144 MHz, and deliver excellent processing performance. The instruction set of the SH2A-FPU is backward compatible with the SH-2A and SH-2 CPU cores, allowing developers to reuse program code created for earlier products.
