Microprocessor core module includes 10/100Base-T for embedded networking

21 September 2005 DSP, Micros & Memory

The RCM3750 RabbitCore from Rabbit Semiconductor is a ready-made platform for fast time-to-market. It mounts directly on to a user-designed motherboard using a single dual-row IDC header and can interface with all CMOS-compatible digital devices. Digital I/O (shared with serial ports), power, and other signals are directly routed to the motherboard. Built-in low EMI features, including a clock spectrum spreader, practically eliminate EMI problems, which helps OEMs pass European CE and other regulatory RF emissions tests.

The RCM3750 features 10/100Base-T connectivity, 512K Flash/512K SRAM, four serial ports, and a small 75 x 30 mm footprint. Programmed with Rabbit Semiconductor's Dynamic C, the RCM3750 can quickly execute maths, logic, and I/O functions. The Rabbit 3000 microprocessor, RCM3750, and Dynamic C are designed in a complementary fashion for maximum performance and ease of use. The industry-proven Dynamic C development system is a C language environment that includes an editor, compiler, and in-circuit debugger.

User programs can be compiled, executed, and debugged using Dynamic C and a programming cable; no in-circuit emulator is required. An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, including a royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source code.

Typical applications it can be used for include: network-enabling security; access systems; home automation; HVAC systems; industrial controls; and other key applications.
