MPU & MCU

Combination of the SuperH microcomputer and middleware shortens product development period, reduces cost, saves power, and achieves higher quality.

The SuperH family realizes detailed power management by software

The SuperH family incorporates power management system controlled by software.
The software realizes the following settings.
- Sleep mode:
The CPU halts, while the on-chip peripheral modules continue to run.
- Standby mode:
the contents of the CPU and cache registers remain unchanged. Only RTC operates.
- Module standby mode:
On/Off control of each module is possible.

Module standby mode allows stop of clock supply by modules.
Use of module standby mode enables detailed power management.
Power consumption decreases to about 1/3 of the normal mode at a maximum by turning off unused modules. It is more effective than setting the CPU at sleep mode.

Power consumption in module standby mode

Power source isolation of the internal circuit minimizes power consumption at standby mode.


SH-Mobile controls LCD display.		Baseband LSI controls LCD display directly. Ultra-low power consumption is realized by supplying power only to LCD-through section.

Provide suitable solutions for system performance improvement and cost reduction

Downsize the board and reduce the set board cost

Recently, request for reducing noise in various systems is increasing in the market while frequency of microcomputers which control system becomes higher, and increases EMI noise.
SuperH microcomputers have been designed for reduction of switch noise by optimization of transistor size and other means.
To prevent malfunction of microcomputers, high tolerance against external noise is needed.
