These new features make the Rabbit 4000 a clear choice for today's demanding embedded applications of connectivity and control.
Building on the highly successful Rabbit 3000 microprocessor, the Rabbit 4000 is available in two RoHS compliant packages, 128-pin LQFP and 128-pin TFBGA configurations.
The new features include integrated 10Base-T Ethernet, hardware DMA, 16bit memory device support, and page-mode memory device support.
Features also include hardware security features, hardware breakpoints, variable-phase PWM, and up to 40 GPIOs with up to four levels of alternative pin functions.
More than 500 new instructions were added to increase the processing speed and efficiency.
Programming the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor is simple with the industry-proven Dynamic C software development system.
The successful integration of hardware and software substantially reduces development time and cost.
In addition, the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor is programmable in-circuit without costly in-circuit emulators, using a simple programming cable provided with the Rabbit 4000 development kits.
Integrated features of the Rabbit 4000 allow embedded engineers to develop smaller designs, enabling for diverse implementation.
The Rabbit 4000 is available from 4th April 2006.
The first development platform to use the Rabbit 4000 capabilities will be on the RabbitCore RCM4100 development kit ($259 one-off).
The Rabbit 4000 is competitively priced below $9 in volume.
