Processor-Based Module Handles Plethora Of Chores January 29, 2007
Versatile enough for deployment in a wide range of applications, the RCM4200 module enlists the power of the company's Rabbit 4000 microprocessor running at speeds up to 58.98 MHz. The module provides 10/100 Ethernet connectivity, GPIO with an analog input, and 8 MB of serial flash memory. These features support applications such as data logging, remote monitoring/control, serial-to-Ethernet communications, industrial control, building automation/security, and networking. Other features include a hardware DMA, quadrature decoder, up to 35 GPIO lines shared with up to five serial ports, four levels of alternate pin functions, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Two modules are available: the RCM4200 and RCM4210 with processor-speed, analog-availability, and flash-density options. For design help, the RCM4200 development kit includes the RCM4200, a development board, and the latest Dynamic C development software with samples and libraries. Prices for the RCM4200 and RCM4210 are $89 and $81 each/100, respectively. Price for the RCM4200 development kit is $269. RABBIT SEMICONDUCTOR INC., Davis, CA. (530) 757-8400.
