Impulse unveils Wi-Fi modules
Impulse has released the RCM5400W Rabbitcore module series with Wi-Fi/802.11b/g connectivity, for low-cost, embedded wireless control and communications.
Measuring only 35 x 29 x 7.4mm, RabbitCores mount directly on a user-designed motherboard and can interface with all manner of CMOS-compatible digital devices.
The RCM3400 also contains built-in low-EMI features, including a clock spectrum spreader, that practically eliminate EMI problems, helping OEMs pass CE and regulatory RF emissions tests.
Powered by the Rabbit 3000 microprocessor, this efficient 8bit core module operates at a power-saving 3.3V (with 5V-tolerant I/O), while running at 29.4MHz.
Two models offer 512Kbyte Flash/512Kbyte SRAM or 265Kbyte Flash/256Kbyte SRAM and both are equipped with quadrature decoder, PWM outputs, and pulse capture capabilities.
Two 34-pin connection headers provide 47 digital I/O (41 alternate) shared with the five serial ports.
All RCM3400 models ship with pre-assigned MAC IDs allowing easy networking using the 10/100Base-T reference design on the development board.
The RCM3400 features a battery-backable real-time clock, glueless memory and I/O interfacing, and low-power "sleepy" modes.
A fully enabled slave port permits easy master-slave interfacing between processor-based systems, and an alternate I/O bus can be configured for six data lines and six address lines (shared with parallel I/O).
The Rabbit 3000 processor's compact, C-friendly instruction set and high clock speeds produce fast results for math, logic, and I/O.
Programs are developed with our industry-proven Dynamic C development system, a C-language environment that includes an editor, compiler, and in-circuit debugger (Dynamic C SE is included in low-cost development kits).
User programs can be compiled, executed, and debugged using Dynamic C and a programming cable-no in-circuit emulator is required.
An extensive library of drivers and sample programs is provided, along with royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source code.
