4.4 Other Hardware
4.4.1 Clock Doubler
The RCM3600 takes advantage of the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor’s internal clock dou-
bler. A built-in clock doubler allows half-frequency crystals to be used to reduce radiated
emissions. The 22.1 MHz frequency specified for the RCM3600 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. The clock doubler is
disabled with 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 means for doing so is through a simple configuration macro as shown
below.
