Rabbit 3000® Microprocessor Small TFBGA Package Now Available

Davis, Calif., January 23, 2003-Rabbit Semiconductor today announced the new Rabbit 3000® microprocessor small form factor TFBGA (Thin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array) package. The Rabbit 3000 BGA maintains the rich feature set of the popular LQFP package. The low-EMI 8-bit Rabbit 3000 processors offer many features
specifically for embedded control, communications, and Ethernet connectivity.

The Rabbit 3000 BGA brings significant size reduction to the printed circuit board real estate-sensitive embedded control designer with a 10 x 10 mm footprint, 1.2 mm thickness and a 0.8 mm pitch. Like the Rabbit 3000 LQFP, the BGA version shares its instruction set and conceptual design with the proven Rabbit 2000® microprocessor.

The Rabbit 3000 BGA is fast—running at up to 54 MHz—and C-friendly, with compact code and direct software support for 1 MB of code/data space. Rabbit 3000 development tools include extensive support for Internet and network connectivity; with full source code for TCP/IP provided royalty free.

The Rabbit 3000 BGA operates at 3.3 V (with 5 V tolerant
I/O) and boasts 6 serial ports with IrDA, 56+ digital I/O, a
quadrature decoder, PWM outputs, and pulse capture and
measurement capabilities. It also features a battery-backable
real-time clock, glueless interfacing, and ultra-low power
modes. Its compact instruction set and high clock speeds
give the Rabbit 3000 BGA fast performance for math, logic, and I/O.

Programming a Rabbit microprocessor is simple with the industry-proven Dynamic C® software development system (included in low-cost Development Kit). Our successful integration of hardware and software substantially reduces OEM designers development time and costs. In addition, developers do not need costly in-
circuit emulators—programming is accomplished simply by connecting an interface cable from a PC to a Rabbit-based target system. Software development and debugging can be performed over Ethernet or the Internet using appropriate accessory hardware.

Rabbit 3000 BGA processors are priced from $8-9 in quantity. Rabbit 3000 Development Kits are priced from $239 and include RabbitCore module (with Rabbit 3000, Flash, and SRAM), prototyping board, and complete Dynamic C SE software development system (not a trial version) and documentation on CD-ROM.

Available January 24, 2003. Contact Rabbit Semiconductor at T: 530-757-8400, F: 530-757-8402, E: rabbit@rabbitsemiconductor.com, or order online at www.rabbitsemiconductor.com.
