Compact embedded board with four distributed CAN/CAN FD channels
Kvaser M.2 PCIe 4xCAN is a highly-integrated embedded CAN board that adds 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. With a compact 22 x 80 mm M.2 card size and a mere 2 mm height, this board stands out for its distributed CAN transceivers, optimizing signal quality. Boasting a timestamp resolution of 1 μs and an impressive maximum message rate of 20000 msg/s per channel, it’s perfect for embedded systems requiring advanced features like silent mode, error frame detection, and generation.
Kvaser M.2 PCIe 4xCAN interface board has a particularly compact footprint, thanks to an M.2 card size of 22 x 80 mm and industry-leading height of just 2 mm. Unique to the Kvaser M.2 PCIe 4xCAN is that the CAN transceivers are distributed (off-board), allowing them to be located closer to the CAN networks themselves. This layout maximises signal quality and integrity.
With a timestamp resolution of just 1 μs and a maximum message rate of 20000 msg/s per channel, plus advanced features such as silent mode, error frame detection and generation, this advanced board with distributed CAN transceivers can be integrated in a wide range of embedded systems.
