PCAN-Chip PCIe FD
Put up to four CAN FD channels on PCI Express in your own board design
PCAN-Chip PCIe FD is a licensed FPGA image that turns an FPGA on your own board into a CAN FD controller on the PCI Express bus. Depending on the licence it gives you two or four CAN channels.
Because the result behaves like a PEAK PCI Express interface, the standard PEAK drivers for Windows and Linux, PCAN-View and the PCAN-Basic API work with it unchanged. PEAK supplies the integration documentation and a sample circuit diagram.
Highlights
- FPGA-based CAN FD controller for PCI Express x1
- Two-channel or four-channel licence
- CAN 2.0 A/B and CAN FD, ISO and Non-ISO selectable
- Bus master DMA with 32-bit and 64-bit addressing
- Bus load measurement and error generation
- Works with the standard PEAK drivers and software
Versions
- PCI Express 2 Channel licence
- PCI Express 4 Channel (Quad) licence
- PEAK does not publish an order number for this product: contact us and we will arrange the licence with PEAK
