PCAN-PCI Express FD (1ch/2ch/4ch)

SKU #: IPEH-004026, IPEH-004027, IPEH-004040

The PCAN-PCI Express FD plug-in card made by PEAK System Technik allows the connection of a PC with PCI Express slots to CAN FD and CAN networks. The card provides galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts between the computer and CAN sides. This CAN FD interface for PCI Express systems is also available with the free PCAN-View application and the PCAN-Basic Programming interfaces for standardized protocols from the automotive sector. It is available with single, dual, or quad CAN channels.


  • PC plug-in card (PCIe-x1) for PCI Express slots
  • 1, 2 or 4 High-speed CAN channels (ISO 11898-2)
  • Complies with CAN specifications 2.0 A/B and FD
  • CAN FD support for ISO and Non-ISO standards switchable
  • CAN FD bit rates for the data field (64 bytes max.) from 25 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s
  • CAN bit rates from 25 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s
  • CAN bus connection via D-Sub, 9-pin (in accordance with CiA® 102)
  • FPGA implementation of the CAN FD controller
  • NXP TJA1044GT CAN transceiver
  • Galvanic isolation on the CAN connection up to 500 V, separate for each CAN channel
  • CAN termination can be activated through a solder jumper, separately for each CAN channel
  • PCIe data transfer via bus master DMA
  • DMA memory access operations with 32- and 64-bit addresses
  • Measurement of bus load including error frames and overload frames on the physical bus
  • Induced error generation for incoming and outgoing CAN messages
  • 5-Volt supply to the CAN connection can be connected through a solder jumper, e.g. for external bus converter
  • Extended operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F)
