The RCM3209 and RCM3229 RabbitCore

to be the heart of embedded control systems. The RCM3209 fea-

tures an integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet port and provides for

LAN and Internet-enabled systems to be built as easily as serial-

communication systems.

In addition to the features already mentioned above, the RCM3209 and RCM3229 have

two clocks (main oscillator and real-time clock), reset circuitry, and the circuitry necessary

for management of battery backup of the Rabbit 3000's internal real-time clock and the

static RAM. Two 34-pin headers bring out the Rabbit 3000 I/O bus lines, parallel ports,

and serial ports.

The RCM3209 or RCM3229 receives +3.3 V power from the customer-supplied mother-

board on which it is mounted. The RCM3209 and RCM3229 can interface with all kinds

of CMOS-compatible digital devices through the motherboard.

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 allows you to evaluate the RCM3209 or RCM3229, and to prototype circuits that

interface to the RCM3209 or RCM3229 module.
