3  Specifications 

 

General

 

Size 

PCI-bus PC card (135 mm) 

Power consumption 

PCIcan-Q: max 600 mA @ 5V. 

CAN bus connector 

25-pin DSUB, female, for PCIcan-Q CAN buses. (See 
p. 11) 

2 x 9-pin DSUB, male, for PCIcan-D CAN buses. (See 
p. 11) 

9-pin DSUB, male, for PCIcan-S CAN bus. (See p. 11) 

CAN Controller(s) 

PCIcan-Q: 4 x SJA1000 

PCIcan-D, PCIcan-LS2, PCIcan-SWC2: 2 x SJA1000 

PCIcan-S, PCIcan-LS1, PCIcan-SWC1: 1 x SJA1000 

CAN Clock frequency: 16 MHz 

CAN Bus Driver(s)

 

Drivers 

PCIcan-Q, -D, -S: Philips 82C251; compliant with the 
ISO 11898 standard. 

PCIcan-LS2, -LS1: Philips TJA1053 

PCIcan-SWC2, -SWC1: Philips AU5790c 

Voltage feed 

The drivers are galvanically separated (selectable by 
switches) from the power supply on the PC by on-
board DC/DC converters. 

Grounding 

The ground of the CAN drivers is available at the 
DSUB connector. On the PCIcan-Q it is also possible 
to connect the driver ground to the PC ground by a 
switch on the PCIcan board. 

Other Features

 

 

Fast optocouplers between CAN circuits and drivers. 

 

CAN driver part fed by the PC through DC/DC-converters (the PCIcan-SWC2, 
and -SWC1 requires external power supply.)
