PCAN-MicroMod FD
Small plug-in board that adds configurable I/O and CAN FD to your design
The PCAN-MicroMod FD is a 33 x 36 mm plug-in board with CAN and CAN FD on one side and analog and digital inputs and outputs on the other. An NXP LPC54618 microcontroller links the two, so electronics developers can add CAN-connected I/O to their own boards without writing CAN firmware.
In the supplied Windows software you map I/O to CAN IDs and add function blocks that process the data, then send the configuration over CAN. The module runs as an independent CAN node, and up to 16 modules on one network can be configured selectively by module ID. CANopen firmware is an alternative.
Highlights
- Plug-in board, 33 x 36 mm, two 50-pin double pin strips at 1.27 mm pitch
- 8 analog inputs (0 to 3 V, 12-bit, 1 kHz), 8 digital inputs, 8 digital outputs, 2 frequency outputs
- CAN FD data phase up to 10 Mbit/s
- Configured over CAN with function blocks, no programming needed
- Up to 16 modules configured selectively on one network
- 3.3 V supply, -40 to 85 C
Versions
- IPEH-003080: PCAN-MicroMod FD
- IPEH-003090: PCAN-MicroMod FD Pin Adapter, for boards with 2.54 mm (100 mil) pitch
Software
- PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration for Windows: map I/O to CAN IDs and add function blocks that process the data
- Windows development package with GCC ARM Embedded and programming examples
- PEAK-Flash for Windows 11 (x64/ARM64) and Windows 10 (x64), for firmware updates
- CANopen firmware as an alternative, licensed through PEAK partner Embedded Systems Academy

Start development on the PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation Board, or use a ready-made motherboard: PCAN-MicroMod FD Analog 1 or PCAN-MicroMod FD Digital 1&2.
Setting up the module over CAN needs a PEAK CAN interface such as the PCAN-USB FD or the PCAN-USB.
