SH7600 Series 32-Bit RISC Embedded Processor

Overview
The SH7600 Series is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) that integrates a Hitachi-original RISC
CPU and appropriate peripheral functions to minimize the components or modules required for system
configuration.
The CPU has a RISC-type instruction set. Basic instructions can be executed in one clock cycle (36 ns),
dramatically improving instruction execution speed. Operating up to 28.7 MHz, this processor also
incorporates 4 kbytes of cache memory, a 32-bit internal architecture, and a 32-bit multiply and accumulate
unit (MAC) for enhanced data-processing ability. As a result, the SH-2 enables high-performance systems
to be constructed with advanced functionality at low cost, even in applications such as real-time control that
require operations at very high speeds.
The SH7604 includes on-chip peripheral functions such as an interrupt controller, a direct memory access
controller (DMAC), a division unit (DIVU), timers (free running timer/FRT and watchdog), and a serial
communications interface (SCI). External memory support functions enable direct connection to SDRAM,
DRAM, PSRAM, ROM, and peripheral I/O. Such features minimize the number of modules required for
system configuration, and can reduce system costs.
