CompactPCI Board Features Up To 16 CAN FD Ports
Posted by on
EKF (Germany) has introduced their SF2-Candy quad PCI Express Mini card carrier board, which supports up to four PCIe‑based modules, each providing four CAN FD channels.
The CAN FD interfaces of the SF2-1080-Candy modules provide up to four CAN FD ports. The CAN FD interfaces are available at 25-pin or 50‑pin D-sub connectors. Each CAN FD port is separately galvanically isolated. The CAN FD controller utilizes an FPGA design similar to NXP’s SJA1000 stand‑alone controller. Each CAN FD channel is galvanic isolated (up to 300 V). Software drivers for Linux and Windows are available.
The SF2-Candy carrier board is equipped with an onboard Gen2 PCI Express packet switch and can be installed into any peripheral slot of a CompactPCI Serial backplane. The single-size Eurocard measures 100 mm x 160 mm. The PCI Express interface features a 5‑Gbit/s upstream function. The products are also available with standard CAN Bus interfaces suitable for vehicle test equipment, industrial automation, and medical systems.
We have always recommended these books to our customers and even our own engineers for developing a better understanding of technologies and specifications. We find the latest PCI Express book from MindShare to have the same content and high quality as all the others. Nader Saleh, CEO/President, Catalyst Enterprises, Inc.
PCI Express is the third-generation Peripheral Component Inter-connect technology for a wide range of systems and peripheral devices. Incorporating recent advances in high-speed, point-to-point interconnects, PCI Express provides significantly higher performance, reliability, and enhanced capabilities at a lower cost than the previous PCI and PCI-X standards.
Therefore, anyone working on next-generation PC systems, BIOS and device driver development, and peripheral device design will need to have a thorough understanding of PCI Express.PCI Express System Architecture provides an in-depth description and comprehensive reference to the PCI Express standard.
The book contains information needed for design, verification, and test, as well as background information essential for writing low-level BIOS and device drivers.
