聯電是第一家晶圓專工獲SuperH公司授權微處理器元件核心
客戶可在聯電130奈米製程製造高階產品
聯電是第一家晶圓專工獲得SuperH公司授權32位元精簡指令集運算 (RISC)
微處理器元件核心SH4-200系列，客戶可透過聯電矽智產元件核心大成的Gold IP 計劃中使用, 並用聯電130奈米製程技術製造高階產品。
在此協議下，半導體及系統公司則可經由聯電使用SH-4元件核心來做系統單晶片(SOC)，該元件核心亦結合聯電許多程式庫及IP.
SuperH公司行銷暨業務副總查曼(Rick Chapman)表示：該公司SH-4客戶目前透過聯電的高階製程技術製造產品，可使產品快速上市，此次與聯電結盟亦突顯市場對SuperH架構的廣大接受度。
透過SH-4 RISC處理器元件核心可用於汽車、數位消費及住家網間連接器等市場。SH-4元件核心包括第三者硬體發展工具，編譯器鏈及作業系統，使用16位元固定長度指令集可增加編碼效率，266
MHz SH-4元件核心使用單及雙精度IEEE754浮點處理器(FPU)，FPU可用4個單精度向量/ 矩陣運算來處理用於遊戲，汽車導航浮點數位處理之演算及3D繪圖。
聯電設計支援部副總兼部長馮台生表示： SuperH已展示其適用廣大半導體市場之微處理器元件核心，很高興客戶可在聯電Gold
IP 計劃中使用該元件核心及聯電130奈米製程。
SH4-200系列提供低功率，高績效解決方案，其特色如下：
-雙向16KB集相連指令集高速緩衝記憶體 (cache), 32KB 開放高速緩衝記憶體
-全相連轉換旁視緩衝器 (TLB) 記憶體管理單元
-超高匯排流(bus)提供每秒2.1GB頻寬
-高績效雙向超標量架構
-高密度16位元指令集
-四向FPU提供266MHz之每秒1.9G浮點運算 (FLOPS)
-功率消耗在266MHz/ 1.2V少於1mW/ MHz
About
SuperH, Inc.,
SuperH, Inc., was established as an independent company in 2001
following an agreement between STMicroelectronics and Hitachi to
create an independently managed entity to develop processor cores
for the open market.
The high-performance,
low-cost power efficient SH-4 core, is targeted at the next generation
digital consumer, automotive and telecommunications applications.
Earlier this year SuperH released the SH5-100 series core expanding
the portfolio of licensable IP offered by SuperH, Inc. In the future,
SuperH, Inc. will develop all subsequent SuperH cores to the open
market, including the development of the SH-6 and SH-7 cores.
The SuperH family
of high-performance 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-based processor cores
is ideally suited for applications that require a highly integrated
system-on-chip solution that includes a powerful embedded processing
engine and can run a wide variety of application software on industry-standard
operating systems and middleware. SuperH processors are used in
many fields including digital consumer products such as set-top
boxes, and digital cameras and games platforms; factory automation
systems and car information systems. Further information about SuperH
products can be found on www.superh.com.
