PCAN-USB XL
Connect a PC to CAN XL, CAN FD and classic CAN over USB
PCAN-USB XL is a USB adapter for the newest CAN generation. Besides classic CAN and CAN FD it handles CAN XL, which allows up to 2048 data bytes per frame and data rates up to 20 Mbit/s, aimed at jobs like ECU flashing and software updates.
The CAN XL core is PEAK’s own FPGA design, validated against the C&S CAN XL evaluation board. The CAN side is galvanically isolated from the PC up to 500 V, and the compact plastic casing suits mobile use. PCAN-View 6 and PCAN-Basic 5 support CAN XL.
