4.5 Other Hardware
4.5.1 Clock Doubler
The RCM3365/RCM33610 takes advantage of the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor’s internal
clock doubler. A built-in clock doubler allows half-frequency crystals to be used to reduce
radiated emissions. The 44.2 MHz frequency specified for the RCM3365/RCM3375 is
generated using a 22.12 MHz resonator.
The clock doubler may be disabled if 44.2 MHz clock speeds are not required. This will
reduce power consumption and further reduce radiated emissions. The clock doubler is
disabled with a simple configuration macro as shown below.
4.5.2 Spectrum Spreader
The Rabbit 3000 features a spectrum spreader, which helps to mitigate EMI problems. The
spectrum spreader is on by default, but it may also be turned off or set to a stronger setting.
The means for doing so is through a simple configuration macro as shown below.
