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.
