SH7091 Programming Manual 0.2

The SH-4 (SH7091) has been developed as the top-end model in the SuperH™ RISC engine
family, featuring a 128-bit graphic engine for multimedia applications and 360 MIPS
performance.

The SH7091 CPU has a RISC type instruction set, and features upward-compatibility at the object
code level with SH-1, SH-2, SH-3, and SH-3E microcomputers.

In addition to single- and double-precision floating-point operation capability, the on-chip FPU
has a 128-bit graphic engine that enables 32-bit floating-point data to be processed 128 bits at a
time. It also supports 4 × 4 array operations and inner product operations, enabling a performance
of 1.4 GFLOPS to be achieved.

A superscalar architecture is employed that enables simultaneous execution of two instructions
(including FPU instructions), providing performance of up to twice that of conventional
architectures at the same frequency.

SH7091 on-chip peripheral modules include oscillator circuits, an interrupt controller (INTC),
direct memory access controller (DMAC), timer unit (TMU), real-time clock (RTC), serial
communication interfaces (SCI, SCIF), and a user break controller (UBC), enabling a user system
to be configured with a minimum of components.

An 8-kbyte instruction cache and 16-kbyte data cache are also provided, and the on-chip memory
management unit (MMU) handles translation from the 4-Gbyte virtual address space to the
physical address space. The bus state controller (BSC) supporting external memory access can
handle a 64-bit synchronous DRAM 4-bank system and 64-bit data bus as well as ROM, SRAM,
DRAM, synchronous DRAM, and PCMCIA.

This programming manual gives details of the SH7091 instructions. For hardware details, refer to
the relevant hardware manual.
