C.1 Power Supplies
The RCM4510W requires a regulated 3.3 V DC ±5% power source. The RabbitCore
design presumes that the voltage regulator is on the user board, and that the power is made
available to the RCM4510W board through header J1.
An RCM4510W with no loading at the outputs operating at 29.48 MHz typically draws
80 mA, and may draw up to 150 mA while the XBee RF module is transmitting or receiving.
C.1.1 Battery Backup
The RCM4510W does not have a battery, but there is provision for a customer-supplied
battery to back up the data SRAM and keep the internal Rabbit 4000 real-time clock
running.
Header J1, shown in Figure C-1, allows access to the external battery. This header makes
it possible to connect an external 3 V power supply. This allows the SRAM and the inter-
nal Rabbit 4000 real-time clock to retain data with the RCM4510W powered down.
A lithium battery with a nominal voltage of 3 V and a minimum capacity of 165 mA·h is
recommended. A lithium battery is strongly recommended because of its nearly constant
nominal voltage over most of its life.
User’s Manual
