Rabbit Goes WirelessRabbit Goes Wireless

DAVIS, Calif. -- Rabbit Semiconductor isboldly going wireless by offering two new wireless technologies directlyintegrated in new RabbitCore(R) modules. Customers can now connect theirproducts to the Internet and network their devices without wiringheadaches. The new RCM4400W is a Wi-Fi/802.11 based core module thatleverages the increasing penetration of Wi-Fi in businesses around theworld. The RCM4510W is a ZigBee/802.15.4 based module that taps into theexciting, high growth ZigBee market for low cost, low power wireless sensornetworks. These modules add to the powerful list of embedded controlfeatures that have made RabbitCore modules so appealing to design engineersaround the world.

These wireless solutions have been engineered into the Rabbit productline as part of a fundamental goal to provide easy-to-use connectivitybuilt upon proven platforms that can accommodate the typically longembedded product life cycles. The RCM4400W and RCM4510W expand on thefamily of pin-compatible modules already based on the Rabbit 4000microprocessor, giving customers greater freedom to now select from serial,wired Ethernet, wireless Ethernet / Wi-Fi or wireless ZigBee / 802.15.4 astheir communication link in their Industrial Control, RTU or BuildingAutomation applications.

The RCM4400W features Wi-Fi / 802.11 connectivity and is powered by theRabbit(R) 4000 microprocessor, running at 58.98 MHz. Features include up to35 GPIO lines shared with 6 serial ports, hardware DMA, quadraturedecoders, PWM, and up to four levels of alternate pin functions. TheRCM4400W supports an operating temperature range of -20¢XC to +85¢XC.

The RCM4510W features ZigBee/802.15.4 connectivity and usesMaxStream(R) technology with the integration of the XBee Series 2 ZigBeemodule as part of the RabbitCore design. It is also powered by the Rabbit4000 running at 29.49 MHz. Features include up to 49 GPIO lines shared with6 serial ports and 4 channels of analog inputs, hardware DMA, quadraturedecoders, PWM, and up to four levels of alternate pin functions. TheRCM4510W supports an operating temperature range of -40¢XC to +85¢XC.
