SuperH @ Wikipedia
The SuperH processor core family was first developed by Hitachi in the early 1990s. Many microcontrollers and microprocessors were based on this architecture. Hitachi was developing a complete set of instruction set upward compatible CPU cores. Originally, the SH-1 and the SH-2 were used in the Sega Saturn and Sega 32X and then later in many other microcontrollers used in many other embedded applications. These cores use a 16-bit instruction...
