Kvaser LAPcan
is a PC card compliant with the PC-Card (PCMCIA)
standard. It contains the powerful microcontroller C161O from Infineon and
two SJA1000 CAN controllers from Philips. The SJA1000 handles CAN
messages with 11 bit as well as 29 bit identifiers. Remote frames can be sent
and received without restrictions. Kvaser LAPcan can both detect and
generate error frames on the CAN bus. Kvaser LAPcan provides two
completely independent CAN channels with two separate connectors. The
CAN bus transceivers are integrated into the connection cables.
The
Kvaser LAPcan II
is an improved version of the Kvaser LAPcan card. It
is fully compatible with the Kvaser LAPcan card but features
- better performance
- improved EMC and ESD characteristics
- a different artwork on the housing (an eagle instead of a peregrine falcon)
In this text we will use the name
Kvaser LAPcan
for both Kvaser LAPcan and
Kvaser LAPcan II.
