Kvaser Mini PCIe 1xCAN

The Kvaser Mini PCIe 1xCAN (EAN 73-30130-01368-1) is a single-channel CAN and CAN FD board for the Mini PCI Express slot, giving embedded and standard computers a built-in CAN port. Rather than using the PCI Express lane, it talks to the host over the USB 2.0 lines of the Mini PCIe socket, which helps when another peripheral already occupies the PCIe lane. It succeeds the Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS (00688-1), adding CAN FD up to 8 Mbit/s, a SIC transceiver and 1 µs timestamps, and it ships with a one-channel D-SUB 9 breakout cable. Pertech is the authorized Kvaser sales representative in Israel.

Mini PCIe 1xCAN highlights

• CAN FD up to 8 Mbit/s and high-speed CAN (ISO 11898-2) from 20 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
• SIC transceiver for cleaner edges and less ringing at high bit rates, even with longer stubs
• Host link over USB 2.0 inside the Mini PCIe socket, so the PCIe lane stays free
• 1 µs timestamps and up to 20,000 messages per second in each direction
• Galvanic isolation, silent mode, and error frame generation and detection
• Standard 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and extended 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers
• Runs applications written for other Kvaser CAN hardware through CANlib
• Compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet (higher-layer handling in the user application)
• Free Kvaser CanKing 7 analysis software

Where the Mini PCIe 1xCAN fits

• Embedded and industrial PCs with a free Mini PCIe slot
• Hosts where the PCIe lane of the socket is already taken by another device
• CAN FD networks with long stubs, where signal ringing is a concern
• Moving designs based on the Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS up to CAN FD
• Systems that run several Kvaser interfaces at the same time
