The RCM3600 is a compact module that incorporates the pow-
erful Rabbit
®
3000 microprocessor, flash memory, static RAM,
and digital I/O ports.
The Development Kit has what you need to design your own
microprocessor-based system: a complete Dynamic C software
development system and a Prototyping Board that acts as a
motherboard to allow you to evaluate the RCM3600 and to pro-
totype circuits that interface to the RCM3600 module.
The RCM3600 has a Rabbit 3000 microprocessor operating at 22.1 MHz, static RAM,
flash memory, two clocks (main oscillator and real-time clock), and the circuitry necessary
for reset and management of battery backup of the Rabbit 3000’s internal real-time clock
and the static RAM. One 40-pin header brings out the Rabbit 3000 I/O bus lines, parallel
ports, and serial ports.
The RCM3600 receives its +5 V power from the customer-supplied motherboard on
which it is mounted. The RCM3600 can interface with all kinds of CMOS-compatible
digital devices through the motherboard.
