8-bit Microprocessor: Rabbit 8-bit Microprocessor
Series
The Rabbit 2000 and Rabbit
3000 are the high-performance 8 bit microprocessor solution for embedded
design, distinguished by their C-friendly instruction set and fast number-crunching
ability. Numerous on-chip peripherals and glueless interfacing to both
memory and I/O reduces system component requirements and saves OEMs significant
design time and production costs.
Rabbit's designers have years of experience using the Z180 8
bit microprocessor in embedded control products. While it runs three
times faster, the Rabbit shares a similar architecture and a high degree
of compatibility with the Z180, but with key improvements for superior
performance and ease of use. Programmers familiar with a Z180-type 8 bit
microprocessor will be completely at ease with the Rabbit
3000.
The Rabbit 3000 8 bit microprocessor
speaks to the real needs of design engineers with 55 MHz clock speed,
6 serial ports, 52 parallel I/O lines, 7 timers, battery-backable real-time
clock, and watchdog timer. Design advantages include:
Numerous on-chip peripherals and glueless interfacing to both memory
and I/O, reducing system component requirements
