Renesas Technology Expands Popular SH-Mobile Line with Low Cost Application Processor That Targets Simple-Featured Mobile Phones, While Facilitating High-Value Camera/Display Functions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2004 The SH-MobileL chip delivers the finely-tuned mix of performance and functionality needed to add attractive enhanced multimedia features to the affordable next-generation mobile phone systems soon expected to become hugely popular. Renesas Technology Renesas Technology Corporation (ルネサス テクノロジ| America, Inc. today announced the SH-MobileL (product name: SH7322), a new model in the SH-Mobile series of application processors. The new chip has been carefully optimized to deliver the best possible balance of functionality and performance for the next generation of mobile phone systems. It is expressly designed and priced to help keep system costs low so that new camera-equipped multimedia phones will be sufficiently affordable to gain widespread popularity. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Brian Davis Brian Davis may refer to:
Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished support functions." Specifically, the SH-MobileL processor allows direct connection of a 2-megapixel-equivalent, UXGA-size (1600 x 1200 pixel) camera module. This makes possible mobile phone systems that can capture and perform electronic-zoom display of high-definition images. It also enables versatile display features such as superimposed su·per·im·pose tr.v. su·per·im·posed, su·per·im·pos·ing, su·per·im·pos·es 1.

The SH-MobileL has the SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. interface that is essential for executing high-speed moving image processing, and it includes an interface for a small-sized memory card for storing image data. Like all SH-Mobile devices, the new SH-MobileL application processor connects to the baseband LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. of a mobile phone system and performs dedicated voice, image, or similar multimedia application processing. A dedicated interface allows the chip to be used in multiple types of communication systems. Three types of on-chip memory (32Kbyte RAM with single-cycle access capability, 32Kbyte CPU cache See cache. and 16Kbyte X-Y DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive RAM) enable high-speed application execution using Java programs, MPEG-4 moving image processing, and MP3 or similar voice processing. Renesas Technology's SH-Mobile series application processors are market leading components for mobile phones. Because the SH-MobileL has the same SH3-DSP CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. core used in previous SH-Mobile chips, phone manufacturers can shorten system development times for new models by reusing software developed for those high-functionality chips. A development platform equipped with a keyboard, small LCD panel, and ultra-miniature camera is available to simplify and accelerate the creation of new multimedia application programs.
