4.4 Other Hardware
4.4.1 Clock Doubler
The RCM4400W takes advantage of the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor’s internal clock
doubler. A built-in clock doubler allows half-frequency crystals to be used to reduce
radiated emissions. The 58.98 MHz frequency specified for the RCM4400W is generated
using a 29.49 MHz crystal.
The clock doubler should not be disabled since Wi-Fi operations depend highly on CPU
resources.
4.4.2 Spectrum Spreader
The Rabbit 4000 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 spectrum spreader settings may be changed through a simple configuration macro as
shown below.
