29.2 Operation
29.2.1 Unused Pins
Input (or bidirectional) pins that are unused in a design can pick up noise that may cause
the transistors in the input buffer to switch states quickly, causing unnecessary current
draw. To avoid this, all unused pins should be connected to a weak pullup or pulldown
resistor (approximately 100 k
) and left as inputs. This provides protection from noise
when the pin is an input, but also limits the current draw if the pin gets inadvertently
enabled as an output.
29.2.2 Clock Rates
The processor and peripheral clocks in the Rabbit 5000 can be run in six different modes
using the main oscillator: full speed; divided by 2, 4, 6, or 8; and the processor clock divided
by 8 with the peripheral clock at full speed. If the clock doubler is enabled, the options
also include twice the main oscillator frequency and the main oscillator divided by 3.
In addition, the 32 kHz clock can be used for the processor and peripheral clocks; the 32 kHz
clock can also be divided by 2, 4, 8, or 16, which provides dramatically lower power
consumption.
Table 29-1 lists the options for the clock modes and the processor clock frequency.
