DSP, Micros & Memory
Rabbit Semiconductor is going wireless by offering two new wireless technologies directly integrated in new RabbitCore modules. Customers can now easily connect their products to the Internet and network their devices.
The new RCM4400W is a Wi-Fi/802.11-based core module that leverages the increasing penetration of Wi-Fi in businesses around the world. The RCM4510W is a ZigBee/802.15.4-based module that taps into the high growth ZigBee market for low cost, low power wireless sensor networks. These modules add to the powerful list of embedded control features that have made RabbitCore modules so appealing to design engineers around the world.
Rabbit has engineered these wireless solutions into its product line as part of a fundamental goal to provide easy-to-use connectivity built upon proven platforms that can accommodate the typically long embedded product life cycles. The RCM4400W and RCM4510W expand on its family of pin-compatible modules based on the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor. This gives developers more freedom to now select from serial, wired Ethernet, wireless Ethernet/ Wi-Fi or wireless ZigBee/802.15.4 as their communication link in their industrial control, RTU or building automation applications.
* The RCM4400W features Wi-Fi/802.11 connectivity and is powered by the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor, running at 58,98 MHz. Features include up to 35 GPIO lines shared with six serial ports, hardware DMA, quadrature decoders, PWM, and up to four levels of alternate pin functions. It operates from -20 to 85°C.
* The RCM4510W features ZigBee/802.15.4 connectivity and uses MaxStream technology with the integration of the XBee Series 2 ZigBee module as part of the RabbitCore design. It is also powered by the Rabbit 4000 running at 29,49 MHz. Features include up to 49 GPIO lines shared with six serial ports and four channels of analog inputs, hardware DMA, quadrature decoders, PWM, and up to four levels of alternate pin functions. It operates from -40 to 85°C.
Because both modules are designed to be electrically pin-compatible with all other Rabbit 4000-based RabbitCore modules, engineers can support numerous applications with the same motherboard design by simply changing the RabbitCore module to meet each application's specific requirement.
Development kits for the RCM4400W and RCM4510W are also available. Each contains the wireless RabbitCore, a development board, the latest Dynamic C development software, and all accessories needed.
