Description

Kvaser M.2 PCIe xCAN is a highly-integrated embedded controller card that adds up to four high speed CAN/CAN FD channels to any host computer with PCI Express connectivity and an available B or M keyed M.2 slot.  

This CAN controller card has an exceptionally compact footprint, as it supports adjustable M.2 lengths. The card measures 22 × 80 mm and can also be configured as 22 × 60 mm for even tighter integrations. Its industry-leading height is just 2 mm.

Its CAN transceivers are implemented as separate off-board modules Kvaser Flex DB9 01821-1 enabling flexible placement close to the CAN networks for improved signal integrity while also facilitating easier EMC zone boundary management.

With 1 μs timestamp resolution, up to 20,000 messages/s per channel, and features such as silent mode and error frame detection/generation, it is designed for advanced embedded systems.

Major Features

• B+M keyed M.2 PCI Express CAN interface with up to four channels.
• Breakable to fit in both 60 and 80 mm slots.
• Flexibility to select from 1 up to 4 channels, depending on current installation and needs, 
• (CAN modules sold separately, EAN: 73-30130-01821-1)
• Distributed CAN modules minimise the signal integrity impact when connected to CAN-bus systems.
• Facilitates easier EMC zone boundary management.
• Supports CAN FD, up to 8 Mbit/s.
• Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
• Supports silent mode for analysis tools – listen to the bus without interfering.
• Supports simultaneous usage of multiple Kvaser interfaces and SocketCAN.
• Quick and easy plug-and-play installation.
• Kvaser’s free of charge CANLIB SDK can be used to develop software for these boards.
