Development Concept

See the benefits of the application processor concept
SH-Mobile is a mobile application processor for next-generation cellular phone communications.
In addition to the standard function of voice communications, recent cellular phones increasingly feature a wide range of advanced applications such as e-mail, Internet browsing, games, and video communications.
SH-Mobile is a dedicated application processor LSI used to implement high-level processing and is separate to the baseband LSI used for communication processing. The SH-Mobile LSI also helps reduce time-to-market by simplifying system development.


Discover the advantages of dual CPU architecture
Reducing development costs
Software and hardware for the transmission and application systems can be developed simultaneously and debugged independently. This acts as a countermeasure to the ever increasing cost of software development.
Cost Ratio (estimation)
Core materials (liquid crystals, chips, memory) 25%
Other material expenses 30%
Software development expenses and other expenses 45%

Flexible support for high-performance 2.5G and 3G applications,
 Flexible support for high-performance 2.5G and 3G applications, including TV phones.
Single BB-LSI CPU solutions.
Optimal implementation of powerful applications
Instead of using all-hardware (accelerator) or all- software (DSP) solutions, functions with specific processing requirements such as MPEG4 and JAVA are implemented in hardware (low power). DSPs are used for applications that need flexibility.
