Renesas Technology Europe announces the SH74552 and SH74562 32-bit MCUs for applications of advanced driver assistance systems, needed in automobile “active safety” systems. Renesas’ SH7450 Series MCUs combine on-chip flash memory and high-speed operation. The SH74552 and SH74562 employ a FBGA package measuring 13 × 13 mm, deliver high-speed operation and large-capacity memory necessary for high-speed and fine-grained processing of large volumes of data from sensors in applications such as obstacle detection and risk avoidance, and integrate on-chip peripheral functions such as CAN.
Both devices deliver high-speed operation, with processing performance of 288 MIPS at the maximum operating frequency of 160 MHz. In addition to the CPU core, the SH74552 and SH74562 also incorporate a floating-point processing unit operating at 160 MHz. The FPU supports both single-precision and double-precision calculations, and in single-precision operations it achieves a maximum performance of 1.12 GFLOPS. Hardware support for vector operations and arithmetic operations such as sine/cosine operations enables high-speed operation processing. The SH74552 and SH74562 have a wide operating temperature range to accommodate the wide temperature range under which advanced driver assistance systems must operate.
