The RabbitCore 2000™

The RabbitCore 2000 integrates the Rabbit 2000 processor with:

  • up to 512K of SRAM
  • up to 256K of Flash
  • 29.5 MHz clock
  • programming port (10-pin)
  • battery-backup circuit
  • reset generator

The RabbitCore 2000 connects to your board using 80 through-hole pins, avoiding the need for surface mount assembly and testing techniques. This is especially helpful for those quick, low-budget projects.

To jumpstart your design, Rabbit Semiconductor provides a RabbitCore 2000 prototyping board:

In addition to providing power to the RabbitCore 2000, the prototyping board includes:

  • Three LEDs and three pushbuttons useful for experimenting with the supplied demo programs
  • A through-hole component prototyping area
  • A surface-mount component prototyping area
  • An RS232 transceiver
