3.2 Schematics
This chapter describes the three product variants of Kvaser PCIcan II.
3.2.1 PCIcan HS/HS - a two-channel full-height PCI board
This board has been manufactured in two versions:
A version that can be used in PCI slots with 5V signaling. This version was
manufactured until around June 2004. The part number was 00157-2.
A version that can be used both in PCI slots with 5V signaling and in PCI slots with
3.3V signaling. The part number is 00235-7.
To determine which voltages your board requires, look at the voltage keying on the PCI
connector.

If the board has two keys as seen in Figure 1, then it can be mounted in both 5V PCI
slots and 3.3 V PCI slots.
The PCI standard refers to this type of card
as “Universal cards”.
If the board has just the 5V key, then it requires a 5V PCI slot.
3.2.2 PCIcan II HS
– a one-channel full-height PCI board
This is simply a one-channel version of the above board, with the exception that there is only
one version, which can handle both 5V and 3.3V PCI slots.
3.2.3 PCIcan II LP HS
– a one-channel low-profile PCI board
This is low-profile (about half the height) version of the above card. Note that it requires a low-
profile PCI slot! It can accept both 5V and 3.3V PCI slots.
