The RCM4100 microprocessor core modules are compact, powerful control devices for embedded applications that require I/O control, data handling, and peripheral connectivity.

The RCM4100 series is the first of the next generation core modules to take advantage of the new Rabbit 4000 microprocessor. The Rabbit 4000 features clock speeds of up to 60 MHz, hardware DMA, auxiliary I/O, quadrature decoder, input capture, 40 GPIO lines shared with up to six serial ports, and four levels of alternate pin functions that include variable-phase PWM. The 500 new operational code instructions increase processing efficiency. The RCM4100 series features a small footprint of 1.41" x 1.88" (36 mm x 48 mm), complete with the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor, 512K flash, and 256K/512K data RAM, with or without an eight channel 12-bit A/D converter.

The RCM4100 core modules provide the I/O control and connectivity for a wide range of real-world embedded applications. RabbitCores mount directly onto a user-designed motherboard, and can interface with CMOS-compatible digital devices via the user’s motherboard. Programs are developed with our industry-proven Dynamic C development system, a C language environment that includes an editor, compiler, and in-circuit debugger. Programming is easy with hundreds of samples and libraries that are pre-developed, for a user to be up and running in no time. No in-circuit emulator is required, no third party tools needed. Dynamic C ensures optimal support for Rabbit 4000-based solutions.

Dynamic C enhanced compiler generates smaller code, support for far pointers and far data for easy access to external memory devices, improvements to AES encryption libraries, and a new I/O configuration utility that helps assign pin functions and guides those selections so that conflicts can be avoided.
