Compact 8-Bit MCU Module Is Ethernet-Friendly

Oct. 13, 2005

The RCM3750 from Rabbit Semiconductor combines a 22-MHz Rabbit 3000 MCU with a 10/100BaseT interface. The small module (2.95 by 1.20 by 0.89 in.) features an RJ-45 jack and a 40-pin header. The header exposes the module's four serial ports and 33 digital I/O. The low-power module (175 mA at 22.1 MHz, 150 mA at 11 MHz) also contains 512 kbytes of SRAM, 512 kbytes of flash memory, and a 1-Mbyte serial flash chip. Pricing for the RCM3750 starts at $61. A $329 development kit includes Dynamic C and a royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source code. www.rabbitsemiconductor.com

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
