 Rabbit
Semiconductor is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in high-performance
8-bit microprocessors and development tools for embedded control, communications,
and Ethernet connectivity. A sister division of single-board computer
and software manufacturer Z·World, Rabbit Semiconductor introduced
the Rabbit 2000® microprocessor in 1999 and the Rabbit 3000® in
2002. The industry award-winning RabbitCore line of microprocessor core
modules was introduced in 2001. Rabbit Semiconductor offers customers
a complete embedded design system, including low-cost development kits
and comprehensive technical support for both hardware and software issues.
Establishing Embedded Solutions
Rabbit's successful line of RabbitCore microprocessor core modules-which
offer designers fast development and a more powerful solution than microcontrollers-has
rapidly and continually expanded to encompass a wide variety of form factors,
memory capacities, and functionalities.
Recognizing early on the viability and benefits of Ethernet/Internet
connectivity for embedded solutions deployed in the field, Rabbit Semiconductor
offered its customers convenient TCP/IP development kits, which provide
a hassle-free way to develop a 10Base-T Ethernet application around Rabbit
microprocessors. Ethernet-enabled RabbitCores-the logical next step for
speeding OEM development time-have further solidified Rabbit's position
in the embedded marketplace.
Software that Makes a Difference
Programming Rabbit products is both fast and simple with our industry-proven
Dynamic C®, an integrated software development system specifically
designed for embedded control systems and included in Rabbit development
kits. Dynamic C allows developers to bring robust, real-time control and
communications products to market quickly, cost-effectively, and with
low design risk. There is no need for expensive third-party development
tools and in-circuit emulators.
Continuous enhancements to the Dynamic C software development package
complement the rich features and capabilities of the Rabbit product line.
Dynamic C's most recent version provides the customer with cost-optimized
development tools that are bought in modulesto best fit application requirements.
Proven Track Record
Rabbit products are found in a wide range of applications among virtually
all major industries, including manufacturing, communications, instrumentation,
industrial control, utility/energy, security/access control, and medical/health
