CAN FD components with various form factors

esd electronics has once more extended its CAN FD product line. With the new boards, the CPCIserial-CAN/402-4-FD, the mezzanine boards XMC-CAN/402-4-FD and PMC-CAN/402-4-FD, the CAN-PCIe/402-FD- and the CAN-PCIeMini/402-2-FD as well as the module CAN-USB/400-FD, interfaces for various form factors are available.
Due to the high data security the CAN-Bus increasingly becomes an established standard beyond automotive applications. CAN FD allows velocities of up to 10 Mbit/s as well as data transmission rates of up to 64 Byte.
The new board CPCIserial-CAN/402-4-FD (according PICMG 2.0 CompactPCI®) has four high-speed CAN FD interfaces conforming to ISO 11898-2. All of the interfaces are accessible at the front panel via a 25-pole DSUB plug. Likewise, the mezzanine boards XMC-CAN/402-4-FD and PMC-CAN/402-4-FD are equipped with four CAN FD ports. They are able to send CAN frames back-to-back and can handle full bus load.
The interface board CAN-PCIe/402-FD comes in various versions. It is available either as PCIe® or PCI and provides one or two CAN FD interfaces. Furthermore esd electronics offers a low profile version and an option without electrical isolation. The independently operating CAN FD networks are according to ISO 11898-1:2015.
The extremely compact size of the PCIe-Mini/402-2-FD is ideal for use of CAN FD interfaces in MiniPCs, hat rail mounted PCs and embedded systems. This card is an Add-In PCI Express® Full-Mini-board and provides two CAN FD interfaces. For notebooks and laptops there is an external component available, the CAN-USB/400-FD, which offers two CAN FD interfaces via USB.
All of the esd electronics CAN FD interface boards are controlled by the high performance esd Advanced CAN Core, "esdACC", implemented in an Altera-FPGA. With the esdACC the boards support Bus Mastering. Write cycles in the direction of the host memory can be realized, regardless of the CPU or the system's DMA controller. This reduces the host load and overall latency. The boards support MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) and are equipped with a switchable internal CAN termination. Using MSIs make these boards perfect for hypervisor environments. The CAN messages are linked to a high resolution 64-Bit hardware timestamp.

esd electronics develops and manufactures hardware and software for the automation industry. Special focus is given to custom-specific solutions particularly for companies in the field of automotive and machine industry, medical technology as well as aerospace. esd’s production scheme ranges from small-scale production to on-time supply of larger series. Training courses and workshops complement the company’s development capabilities.
esd' s engineering performance draws on years of experience in dealing with PowerPC systems on basis of PPC4xx, MPC8xxx/52xx/750 and Multicore QorIQ. Designs based on ARM processors and 8/16-bit microcontrollers are being developed by esd likewise. Integrating CAN, PROFIBUS®, PROFINET®, EtherCAT® and Wireless functionalities are among esd' s main areas of expertise. Developments with extended requirements such as rugged environment or ex-protection will be considered by esd.
