1 Introduction
The XMC-A825-16 interface system offers 16 electrically isolated CAN 2.0B interfaces according to ISO
11898, an IRIG-B time code input and a 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet interface. To minimize CPU load on host
computers, the XMC-A825-16 uses an onboard Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA with Five 128 MHz Microblaze processors
and 24 MByte SRAM to process and store CAN messages. The CAN bus interfaces are accessible via a VHD-
68 front panel connector as well as two 40-pin rectangular on-board connectors behind the VHD-68 connector.
