SH-MobileR2, Multimedia Host Processor with Integrated H.264/MPEG-4 Video Engine
Renesas Technology America, Inc. announces the latest member in the SH-Mobile series of application processors for portable multimedia systems. The SH-MobileR2, designated SH7723, enables the design of portable and mobile devices with multimedia capabilities that are suitable for personal navigation devices (PNDs), portable media players and V2IP (video and voice over IP) terminals. The multimedia processor is a next-generation device of the SH-MobileR, the first device in the SH-Mobile series designed for low power multimedia systems. The SH-MobileR2 operates about 1.5 times as fast as the first generation and delivers higher levels of processing performance in encoding and decoding audio and visual data. It incorporates the SH-4A CPU core that operates at up to 400 MHz and has a floating-point processing unit (FPU) that increases the efficiency of video and audio processing. At 400 MHz, processing performance is 720 MIPS (million instructions per second), and FPU performance is 2.8 GFLOPS (giga floating-point operations per second). This is more than sufficient to handle parallel processing of multiple applications or general-purpose operating systems such as Windows® CE or Linux, which impose significant processing loads.
