NTRODUCTION
Rabbit Semiconductor was formed expressly to design a a better microprocessor for use in
small and medium-scale controllers. The first product is the
Rabbit 2000
microprocessor.
The Rabbit 2000 designers have had years of experience using Z80, Z180 and HD64180
microprocessors in small controllers. The Rabbit shares a similar architecture and a high
degree of compatibility with these microprocessors, but it is a vast improvement.
The Rabbit has been designed in close cooperation with Z-World, Inc., a long-time manu-
facturer of low-cost single-board computers. Z-World’s products are supported by an
innovative C-language development system (Dynamic C). Z-World is providing the soft-
ware development tools for the Rabbit.
The Rabbit 2000 is easy to use. Hardware and software interfaces are as uncluttered and
are as foolproof as possible. The Rabbit 2000 has outstanding computation speed for a
microprocessor with an 8-bit bus. This is because the Z80-derived instruction set is very
compact and the design of the memory interface allows maximum utilization of the mem-
ory bandwidth. The Rabbit races through instructions.
Traditional microprocessor hardware and software development is simplified for Rabbit
users. In-circuit emulators are not needed and will not be missed by the Rabbit developer.
Software development is accomplished by connecting a simple interface cable from a PC
serial port to the Rabbit-based target system.
1.1 Features and Specifications
•
100-pin PQFP package. Operating voltage 2.7 V to 5 V. Clock speed to 30 MHz. All
specifications are given for both industrial and commercial temperature and voltage
ranges. Rabbit microprocessors cost under $10 in moderate quantities.
•
Industrial specifications are for a voltage variation of 10% and a temperature range
from –40°C to +85°C. Commercial specifications are for a voltage variation of 5% and
a temperature range from 0°C to 70°C.
•
1-megabyte code space allows C programs with up to 50,000+ lines of code. The
extended Z80-style instruction set is C-friendly, with short and fast instructions for
most common C operations.
•
Four levels of interrupt priority make a fast interrupt response practical for critical
applications. The maximum time to the first instruction of an interrupt routine is about
1 µs at a clock speed of 25 MHz.
