PCAN-PCI/104-Express
Classic CAN for PCI/104-Express embedded stacks
PCAN-PCI/104-Express connects CAN buses to a PCI/104-Express system over one PCIe lane. Up to four cards can be stacked in one system, and the buses connect through 9-pin D-Sub plugs on the supplied slot brackets.
The CAN controller is an SJA1000-compatible FPGA design. A solder jumper can put 5 V on the CAN connector, for example to feed an external bus converter. The card takes its power from the 5 V line only.
