4.4 Other Hardware
4.4.1 Clock Doubler
The RCM3700 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 emis-
sions. The 22.1 MHz frequency specified for the RCM3700 is generated using a 11.06 MHz
resonator.
The clock doubler may be disabled if 22.1 MHz clock speeds are not required. This will
reduce power consumption and further reduce radiated emissions. Disable the clock
doubler by adding a simple configuration macro as shown below.
4.4.2 Spectrum Spreader
The Rabbit 3000 features a spectrum spreader, which helps to mitigate EMI problems. By
default, the spectrum spreader is on automatically, but it may also be turned off or set to a
stronger setting. The spectrum spreader settings may be changed through a simple config-
uration macro as shown below.
