Description
The USB-8473 model falls under the category of Automotive Networking Products and is identified by part numbers 779793-01, 779792-01, and 194210C-01. It is designed as a 1 Port High-Speed, USB CAN Interface/Synchronization device, making it an essential component for automotive networking systems.
At its core, the USB-8473 employs a Philips SJA1000 CAN controller and is complemented by a TJA1041 CAN handset, ensuring reliable and efficient communication across networks. The device boasts several notable features, including a listen-just mode for passive data monitoring, a rest/wakeup mode for energy conservation, access to a mistake counter for troubleshooting, an auto-gathering mode (resound) for enhanced data collection, and hardware time stamp for precise timekeeping.
The maximum transfer rate achievable by the USB-8473 is 1,000 kbit per second, catering to high-speed data transmission requirements. Furthermore, hardware synchronization is optional, providing flexibility in network configuration and data synchronization.
Software compatibility is another highlight, with the device supporting LabVIEW and NI-CAN driver software, making it versatile and adaptable to various software environments. The operating voltage range is from 12 V to 16 V, with a continuous and peak current rating of 0.6 A / 12 A respectively, and a maximum power requirement of 20 W.
The USB-8473 is designed for both high speed and low-speed/fault tolerant physical layers, ensuring robust performance across different networking conditions. Connection to networks is facilitated by a female DB-9 connector, providing a secure and reliable physical link for data transmission.
