Five-layer package takes in MCU, logic and memory
A novel five-layer stacked SiP (system in package) device combines a high-performance SuperH microprocessor, logic LSI chip and memory chips in a single package.
Microcontroller shinks to metering applications
The H8/38004F MCU offers extremely low power consumption together with 32Kbyte single-supply on-chip Flash memory and is the first in the SLP series that is available in a 64-pin quad flatpack.
In addition, the microprocessor is ideal for migrating designs from industrial PCs (IPC) to deeply embedded hardware.
This would achieve significantly lower power consumption, longer product life time and smaller form factors than any IPC can offer.
The high-performance CPU consumes just 2.5W even with all three buses (local, PCI and DDR-SDRAM) and the entire peripheral set in full operation.
The SH7763 integrates a high-performance 32bit SH-4A CPU core with a 1.9GFLOPS floating point unit (FPU) running at 266MHz, MMU, 32Kbyte cache for instruction and data each, 16Kbit of RAM and a six-channel DMA.
The package also offers a total of 10 channels of 32bit timers, a real time clock, three SCI with FIFO, three channels of SIOF with FIFO, MMC interface, four channel serial sound interface (SSI), USB host and function (full-speed).
Other peripheral interfaces include two channels of IIC, a four channel 10bit ADC, a two-channel 8bit DAC, a PCMCIA card controller, and an ISO7816-3 SIM-card interface.
A 1024 x 1024 resolution TFT display control and dual gigabit Ethernet ports complete the specification.
The powerful FPU calculates 3D graphics using internal DSP-like instructions (MAC, DIV, SQRT), supports single and double precision (64bit) and has a 10-stage pipeline for optimised performance.
The SH7763 is supported by a Linux board support package (BSP) which runs on the YSH7763RDP reference development platform.
A Microsoft Windows CE BSP is currently under development.
The SH7763 is now available in a RoHS compliant 449-pin BGA package.
