Introduction & Overview 1
The RabbitCore RCM2200 is an advanced module that incorporates the
powerful Rabbit 2000
™
microprocessor, flash memory, static RAM, digital
I/O ports and a 10Base-T Ethernet port, all on a PCB just half the size of a
business card.
1.1 RCM2200 Description
The RCM2200 is a small-footprint module designed
for use on a motherboard that supplies power and
interface to real-world I/O devices. Its two 26-pin
connection headers provide 26 parallel user I/O
lines, shared with three serial ports, along with data,
address and control lines. A fourth serial port and
three additional I/O lines are available on the pro-
gramming header.
A fully-enabled slave port permits glueless master-
slave interface with another Rabbit-based system.
The slave port may also be used with non-Rabbit
systems, although additional logic may be required.
The RCM2200 is equipped with a 10Base-T Ether-
net port, 256k flash memory and 128k static RAM.
1.1.1 Other Factory Versions
To accommodate developers with specific needs,
alternate versions of the RCM2200 module can be
obtained in production quantities on special order.
In addition, a variant of the RCM2200 is available.
The RCM2300 omits the Ethernet connectivity but
offers a much smaller footprint, one-half the size of
the RCM2200.
