Application-specific peripheral functions
 
Peripheral function for motor control: Timer
 
High performance inverter control
Inverter control has been used in a wide range of applications including white goods and industrial equipment.
Renesas provides a wide range of SuperH microcomputers with on-chip timer for motor control that enables energy saving for white goods such as air conditioners and high-speed control for NC.

Peripheral function for network applications: Ethernet controller  
Transmitter
 
  • Frame generation and transmission conforming to Ethernet/IEEE802.3
  • CRC calculation and provision to frames
  • When a collision is detected, transmission is retried up to 15 times based on the back-off algorithm
  • Compliant with MII (Media Independent Interface) in IEEE802.3u standard (TX-CLK, ETXD[3:0], TX-EN, TX-ER, CRS, COL)
Receiver
 
  • Receiving frames and checking received frame format
  • Checking receive frame CRC and frame length
  • Transfer of own-address, multicast, or broadcast receive frames to receive FIFO
  • Compliant with MII (Media Independent Interface) in IEEE802.3u standard (RX-CLK, ERXD[3:0], RX-DV, RX-ER)
  • Magic Packet monitoring ( Magic Packet is a registered mark of AMD,Inc.)
   
Command/Status Interface
 
  • Command status interface for MAC control
  • Access to PHY-LSI internal registers via the MII.
   
Peripheral function for network applications: Ethernet dedicated DMAC (E-DMAC)
   
Data transfer Control between E-DMAC and memory (SDRAM, DRAM,SRAM, etc.)
 
  • Reduce the load on the CPU by burst transfer in units of 16 bytes
Continuous transmission/reception of multiple frames by descriptor management system on external memory
  Transfer DMAC
 
  • Fetch a transmit buffer address from the top of the transmit descriptor
  • Transfer the transmit data from transmit buffer to the transmit FIFO.
  • After frame transmission, writes the transmission status back to the descriptor.
  • If a transmit directive follows in the descriptor, the E-DMAC reads the next descriptor and
    transfers the data in the corresponding buffer to the transmit FIFO.
  Receive DMAC
 
  • Fetch a receive buffer address from the top of the receive descriptor
  • When receive data is stored in the receive FIFO, the E-DMAC transfers this data to the receive buffer.
  • When reception of one frame is finished, the E-DMAC write a receive status back to the descriptor and fetches the receive buffer address from the next descriptor.
Built-in Transmit/Receive FIFO

- One transfer unit of data is transferred in two bus cycle.
- Data transfer is possible even when bus width of the transfer source from the bus width of destination.
   
   
 
PCI controller
 
Various PCI device can be used
 
Weak keeper
 
Generally, the input pins of CMOS products are high-impedance input pins.
If unused pins are in their open states, intermediate levels are induced by noise in the vicinity, a pass-through current flows internally, and a malfunction may occur. In order to prevent a malfunction, the status of pins must be fixed by pull-up or pull-down.
On the other hand, pins with weak keeper circuit can fix the input level high or low and it is not necessary to connect external pull-up or pull-down resistors.
It is also possible that the board's power consumption will also be decreased depending on whether pull-up or pull-down is used.
