RCM3600 RabbitCore™
MODELS | RCM3600 | RCM3610 |
Microprocessor Core Module
Key Features
• Powerful Rabbit® 3000
microprocessor at 22.1 MHz
• Compact footprint: 2.11” x 1.23” x
0.62” (54 x 31 x 16mm)
• Up to 512K Flash / 512K SRAM
• 33 parallel digital I/O with
configurable options
• 4 serial ports
(IrDA, HDLC, asynch, SPI)
• 5 V DC input, 3.3 V DC interface
Design Advantages:
• Low-cost embedded
microprocessor module
• Ready-made platform for fast
time-to-market, up to 3 months
design integration time savings.
• Compact size
• Dynamic C® development
environment for real-time
development and debugging
• Exceptionally fast performance
for math, logic, I/O
Applications
• Device intelligence
• Embedded control
• Sensor reading
• Serial device coordinator
• Handheld and remote devices
• GPS/AVL applications
The RCM3600 RabbitCore mounts directly
on a user-designed motherboard with a
single 0.1” (2.54 mm) 2x20 dual-row IDC
header and can interface with all types
of CMOS-compatible digital devices. 33
digital I/O (shared with serial ports), power,
and other signals are routed directly to the
motherboard. Built-in low-EMI features,
including a clock spectrum spreader, prac-
tically eliminate EMI problems, helping
OEMs pass European CE and other
regulatory RF emissions tests.
The RCM3600 is equipped with +5 V DC
tolerant I/O, quadrature encoder inputs,
PWM outputs, and pulse capture and
measurement capabilities. The RCM3600
also features a battery-backable real-time
clock, glueless memory and I/O interfac-
ing, and low-power “sleepy” modes. An
alternate I/O bus can be configured for 8
data lines and 5 address lines (shared with
parallel I/O).
RCM3600 – Compact yet powerful embedded intelligence
The RCM3600 RabbitCore is a low-cost Rabbit 3000 microprocessor
based core module designed for a wide variety of applications. The
RCM3600 features 512K Flash / 512K SRAM or 256K Flash / 256K SRAM,
4 serial ports, and an extremely small footprint (2.11” × 1.23” / 54 × 31
mm). Extensive demo programs and software application templates
make it easy to get the RCM3600 up and running in no time.

Programmed with Rabbit Semiconductor’s
Dynamic C®, the RCM3600 executes math,
logic, and I/O quickly. The Rabbit 3000 micro-
processor, RCM3600, and Dynamic C were
designed in a complementary fashion for
maximum performance and ease of use in
embedded systems. Rabbit Semiconductor’s
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.
