Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN is a flexible, single channel interface that can be assigned as CAN or LIN
Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN is a flexible, single channel interface that can be assigned as CAN or LIN. This makes the Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN a must-have ’universal interface’ for every engineer involved in automotive communications. With a standard USB connector and a CAN/LIN channel with a 9-pin D-SUB connector, this high-speed interface can connect a PC to CAN, CAN FD or LIN.
Kvaser Hybrid CAN/LIN allows users to switch the communication channel between CAN and LIN depending on application needs. This makes it a practical “all-in-one” interface for development, diagnostics, and testing of automotive and embedded systems.
Major Features
- Supports High Speed CAN (ISO 11898-2) up to 1Mbit/s and LIN 2.2A (ISO 17987 Part 1-7) up to 20 kbit/s.
- Capable of sending up to 20000 messages per second.
- Supports CAN FD up to 5Mbit/s (with proper physical layer implementation).
- Quick and easy plug-and-play installation.
- Supports CAN 2.0 A and CAN 2.0 B active.
- Power is taken from the USB bus.
- LED lights alert user to device status.
- Galvanically isolated CAN bus drivers.
- Fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet.
- Supplied with Kvaser CANlib and Kvaser LINlib, free software APIs that are common to all Kvaser hardware and enable the channels to be configured intuitively and fast.
- Extended operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C.
Typical Applications
Ideal for engineers and developers who need a flexible interface for working with both CAN and LIN networks using a single device, reducing the need for multiple tools in development and diagnostics workflows.
- Automotive communication systems (CAN & LIN)
- ECU development and diagnostics
- Embedded systems testing
- Mixed CAN/LIN network analysis
- R&D and validation environments
