SH-Mobile

Overview:

Renesas has introduced the SH-Mobile (SuperH Mobile Application Processor); designed to offload application processing from the baseband LSI, this is a solution to ease system development and realise significant performance improvement.

SH-Mobile enables separation of the application software and communications protocol software developments. This baseband independent approach reduces time-to-market, and allows rapid evolution of multimedia applications whilst retaining investment in established communications protocol software.

The SH3-DSP core can accomplish multimedia processing supporting standards such as JPEG, MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3), and MPEG-4. Using the DSP instructions of the SH3-DSP, an average performance increase of 200% can be achieved for most middleware. This reduces CPU speed requirements and in turn power consumption.

Key Features

Application Processor for 2.5G/3G mobile phones. Rapid time-to-market for new services.
Renesas middleware solution, JPEG, MP3, MP4 player etc.
3rd party software solutions, e.g. JavaTM. Full suite of development tools.

Key Applications

Cellular phones
