AP560A: Isolated CAN Bus Interface Module

AP560A modules provide four independent CAN bus interface channels. Each channel has a Holt H13111 CAN controller with an ADM3053 transceiver. The advantage of this design is that it has the ability to transmit, receive and perform message filtering on extended and standard messages.

This module offers an effective solution for avionics and other applications implementing the CAN 2.0A/B specification. The controller is configurable to comply with both the ARINC 825 and CAN aerospace standards. High channel density and high-level isolation make this rugged module well-suited for use in a variety of challenging environments.

The AcroPack CAN module is RoHS compliant and ideal for the following applications:

• Avionics and aerospace
• Defense vehicles
• Marine control and navigation systems

The AcroPack® product line updates our popular Industry Pack I/O modules with a PCIe interface format. This tech-refresh design offers a compact size, low-cost I/O, the same functionality of the existing Industry Pack modules and a rugged form factor.

The AP560A modules are 70mm long, 19.05mm longer than the full length mini PCIe card. The board’s width is the same as mPCIe board and use the same mPCIe standard board hold down standoff and screw keep out areas.

A down facing 100 pin Samtec connector will mate with the carrier card. Fifty of these signals are available as field I/O signals.
