SUNCAN Native Chip - Core Hardware Strength

Free from external conversion chips, data transfers directly through the PCIe bus, delivering uncompromising stability and protection for industrial automation and EV systems.

Bridge-Free Native Design

Data flows directly through the PCIe bus to the SUNCAN controller chip, eliminating common intermediate bridge chips like USB or SPI, removing additional conversion latency and transmission bottlenecks.

Software-Controlled Termination Resistor

Dynamically control and toggle the 120-ohm termination resistor via API, completely eliminating the hassle of adjusting physical DIP switches or jumpers.

Easy Development Integration

Proprietary APIs and drivers fully support Windows and Linux. Multi-language SDKs (C/C++, C#, Python) and standard SocketCAN support reduce your development integration cycle by up to 50%.

2.5KV Industrial Galvanic Isolation

The entire series features built-in 2.5KV signal galvanic isolation, 2KV surge protection, and +/-15KV ESD protection, supporting stable long-term operation across -40 deg C to 85 deg C wide temperature range.

Real-World Benchmarks: SUNCAN's Technical Leadership

Traditional PCIe-to-CAN cards often use external bridge chip designs, which are prone to latency and transmission bottlenecks under heavy throughput. SUNIX's native PCIe architecture demonstrates uncompromising performance in throughput, transmission efficiency, and response latency.

Dual-Channel Throughput Comparison

Higher is Better
SUNIX SUNCAN Native PCIe 100% Saturated Throughput (3.0x Performance)

Direct PCIe bus access eliminates USB or SPI intermediate connections, reaching the physical transmission ceiling with over 1.3x data throughput improvement.

SPI External Controller Type 56% Throughput Limitation (1.7x Performance)

Limited by external SPI bus bandwidth bottleneck, prone to buffer overflow under heavy traffic.

MCU USB Bridge Type 33% Throughput (1.0x Baseline)

Communicates through MCU-to-USB conversion with significant packaging overhead, noticeably increasing latency under heavy traffic.

Unified API - Cut Development Cycles by 50%

SUNIX provides the industry's most comprehensive driver support for Linux and Windows platforms. On Linux, full SocketCAN compatibility enables seamless integration with ROS and AMR autonomous vehicle development. On Windows, our unified core software architecture allows a single function to control both CAN 2.0 and CAN FD devices simultaneously.
