Single channel Mini PCI Express interface CAN/CAN FD Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS v2

Single channel Mini PCI Express interface CAN/CAN FD Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS v2 (EAN: 73-30130-01038-3) PC communication is over the PCI Express system bus, making for extremely low latency with a time stamp accuracy of 1 μs.

I. Major features of Single channel Mini PCI Express interface Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS v2

• Fully compliant to the PCIe bus specification 1.2, Type F2 form factor (Full-Mini with bottom-side keep outs).
• High-speed CAN connection (compliantwith ISO 11898-2), supporting a bit rate from 50 to 1000 kbit/s for Classical CAN and up to 8Mbit/s for CAN FD (with correct physical layer implementation).
• High transmission rate of up to 20000 messages/s.
• Time stamp accuracy of 1μs.
• Galvanic isolation.
• Operates over the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
• Low profile 4-pin Molex compatible connector, compliant with mPCIe height restrictions. Includes Molex to DSUB9 cable adapter.
• Complies with EN 61000-6-2:2005, specifying EMC immunity for industrial environments.
• Supports Windows Vista or later.
• Linux drivers and SDK are available as a separate download.
• Kvaser’s free of charge CANlib SDK canbe used to develop software for the Mini PCI Express HS board. Windows DLL library and examples included.
• Please note: A different pin usage is used for the system bus connection, so it is not fully backwards-compatible with the Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS (00688-1).

II. Software

• Documentation, Kvaser CANlib SDK and drivers can be downloaded for free at: www.kvaser.com/downloads.
• Kvaser CANlib SDK is a free resource that includes everything you need to develop software for the Kvaser CAN interfaces. Includes full documentation and many program samples, written in C, C++, C#, Delphi, Visual Basic, Python and t programs.
• All Kvaser CAN interface boards share the common software API, CANlib SDK. Programs written for one interface type will run without modifications on the other interface types.
• J2534 Application Programming Interface available.
• RP1210A Application Programming Interface available.
• HTML-Help and online documentation in “Windows” and “Linux”.

III. Kvaser Mini PCI Express HS v2 hardware
