| Rabbit Semiconductor Ships the New Rabbit 4000 Microprocessor Rabbit Semiconductor, Inc. announces the availability of the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor. The Rabbit 4000 is the newest addition to the Rabbit line of microprocessors, which offers new and improved features from integrated Ethernet to hardware DMA. Building upon the 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, 16-bit memory device support, and page-mode memory device support. Features also include hardware security features, hardware breakpoints, variable-phase PWM, and up to 40 GPIO with up to 4 levels of alternate 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. Our successful integration of hardware and software substantially reduces development time. 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 will be available beginning April 4th, 2006. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
