SuperH - SH-4

SH-4

The SH-4 was developed for primary use in multimedia applications, such as Sega's Dreamcast and NAOMI game systems. It includes a much more powerful floating point unit and additional built-in functions, along with the standard 32-bit integer processing and 16-bit instruction size.

SH-4 features include:

  • FPU with four floating point multipliers, supporting 32-bit single precision and 64-bit double precision floats
  • 128-bit floating point bus allowing 3.2GB/sec transfer rate from the data cache
  • 64-bit external data bus with 32-bit memory addressing, allowing a maximum of 4GB addressable memory with a transfer rate of 800MB/sec
  • Built-in interrupt, DMA, and power management controllers
