RabbitCore® RCM4100
Microprocessor Core Module
The RCM4100 is a powerful, compact core module ideal for
device control for embedded applications that require I/O
control, data handling and peripheral connectivity.
Overview
The RabbitCore RCM4100 is the entry platform for the Rabbit®
4000 family of core modules. The RCM4100 is designed to
mount directly to a user-supplied motherboard and acts as the
microprocessor of the embedded system. The microprocessor
features 40 GPIO lines shared with up to six CMOS-compatible
serial ports, and four levels of alternate pin functions that include
variable phase PWM, quadrature decoder, and input capture.
The RCM4100, with its robust feature set, ample memory, low-
power modes and analog, is ready for peripheral connectivity and
I/O control for true device monitoring and control.
Evaluation of the RCM4100 is easy with the RabbitCore RCM4100
development kit, which provides all the necessary hardware
and software to quickly get started. To learn more about the
