Module for embedded control, serial-to-Ethernet and datalogging applications

21 March 2007 DSP, Micros & Memory

Rabbit Semiconductor’s new RCM4200 RabbitCore module, equipped with 10/100 Ethernet connectivity, GPIO with on-board analog input, and serial flash memory has robust features that support many applications such as embedded datalogging, remote device monitoring and control, serial to Ethernet communications, point-of-sale, industrial control, building automation/security and networking.

The RCM4200 is powered by the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor running at up to 58,98 MHz, and features hardware DMA, quadrature decoder, up to 35 GPIO lines shared with up to five serial ports, and four levels of alternate pin functions. The RCM4200 has 8 MB of on-board serial flash memory (RCM4210 with 4MB), optional 8-channel analog input for simple interfacing to a wide variety of sensors, and an operating range of -40 to 85°C to withstand applications in mobile or industrial environments.

Because the RCM4200 is designed to be electrically pin-compatible with other Rabbit 4000-based RabbitCore modules, the RCM4200 allows developers to select the most cost-effective control module to suit their application requirements.

The RCM4200 family comes in two flavours - the RCM4200 and the RCM4210 with varying processor speed, analog availability, and serial flash size. For rapid development, there is a Development Kit available that contains the higher speed RCM4200, a development board, the latest Dynamic C integrated development software with numerous samples and libraries.
