Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN

The Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN maximizes channel density through a single PCIe x1 slot, enabling the effortless design of advanced CAN systems.

It is a compact and advanced multi-channel real-time CAN interface with eight CAN/CAN FD channels.

The Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN is highly scalable. Multiple boards can be connected to capture data from tens of CAN channels at a time. An example is hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) suites for automotive testing, where 20 CAN channels are commonly required.
