Overview

Features of SH7131, SH7132, SH7136, and SH7137

This LSI is a single-chip RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) microcomputer that integrates a Renesas Technology original RISC CPU core with peripheral functions required for system configuration.

The CPU in this LSI has a RISC-type instruction set. Most instructions can be executed in one state (one system clock cycle), which greatly improves instruction execution speed. In addition, the 32-bit internal-bus architecture enhances data processing power. With this CPU, it has become possible to assemble low-cost, high-performance, and high-functioning systems, even for applications that were previously impossible with microcomputers, such as real-time control, which demands high speeds.

In addition, this LSI includes on-chip peripheral functions necessary for system configuration, such as large-capacity ROM and RAM, a data transfer controller (DTC), timers, a serial communication interface (SCI), a synchronous serial communication unit (SSU), an A/D converter, an interrupt controller (INTC), I/O ports, I2C bus interface 2 (I2C2), and controller area network (RCAN-ET).

This LSI also provides an external memory access support function to enable direct connection to various memory devices or peripheral LSIs (available only with the SH7132 and SH7137). These on-chip functions significantly reduce costs of designing and manufacturing application systems.

The version of on-chip ROM is F-ZTAT™ (Flexible Zero Turn Around Time)* that includes flash memory. The flash memory can be programmed with a programmer that supports programming of this LSI, and can also be programmed and erased by software. This enables LSI chip to be reprogrammed at a user-site while mounted on a board.

Data transfer controller (DTC)

• Data transfer activated by an on-chip peripheral module interrupt can be done independently of the CPU transfer.

• Transfer mode selectable for each interrupt source (transfer mode is specified in memory)

• Multiple data transfer enabled for one activation source

• Various transfer modes Normal mode, repeat mode, or block transfer mode can be selected.

• Data transfer size can be specified as byte, word, or longword

• The interrupt that activated the DTC can be issued to the CPU.

- A CPU interrupt can be requested after one data transfer completion.

- A CPU interrupt can be requested after all specified data transfer completion.

Interrupt controller (INTC)

• Five external interrupt pins (NMI and IRQ3 to IRQ0)

• On-chip peripheral interrupts: Priority level set for each module

• Vector addresses: A vector address for each interrupt source
