PCAN-USB FD
Isolated CAN FD and classic CAN adapter for the USB port
PCAN-USB FD connects a PC to CAN FD and CAN 2.0 networks through a single USB port. In the data phase it reaches 12 Mbit/s with frames of up to 64 bytes. You can switch between ISO and Non-ISO CAN FD in software to match the network you are working on. It is available with a USB-A or USB-C plug.
The CAN side is galvanically isolated from the computer up to 500 V. The FPGA-based controller time-stamps frames to 1 µs, measures bus load including error and overload frames, and can inject errors on purpose for robustness testing. Power comes from USB and the housing is compact plastic.
