PCAN-miniPCIe FD
CAN FD for embedded boards with a PCI Express Mini slot
PCAN-miniPCIe FD brings CAN FD and classic CAN into compact embedded systems through the PCI Express Mini slot. Single, dual and four-channel versions are available, and each channel is wired out to a D-Sub 9-pin through a connection cable.
The CAN FD controller is built in an FPGA and transfers data by bus master DMA. Each channel is isolated from the computer up to 300 V and has its own solder-jumper termination. The card can measure bus load, error and overload frames included, and can inject errors into incoming and outgoing messages for test work. Note that only the single and dual-channel cards keep to the standard Mini PCIe outline; the four-channel card is taller.
Highlights
- 1, 2 or 4 CAN FD channels in Mini PCIe format
- Galvanic isolation up to 300 V per channel
- CAN FD data rates up to 12 Mbit/s, ISO and Non-ISO switchable
- Bus master DMA with 32-bit and 64-bit addressing
- Bus load measurement and error generation
- -40 to 85 C operating range
Versions
- IPEH-004045: PCAN-miniPCIe FD Single Channel
- IPEH-004046: PCAN-miniPCIe FD Dual Channel
- IPEH-004047: PCAN-miniPCIe FD Four Channel (taller than the standard Mini PCIe form factor)
Software
- Device drivers for Windows 11 (x64) and 10 (x64), and for Linux
- PCAN-View, a CAN monitor for Windows
- PCAN-Basic, the API for writing your own CAN applications
- Programming interfaces for standard automotive protocols
