Introducing the Syvecs X10 Expander, a highly versatile device designed to enhance automotive electrical installations by providing additional I/O (Inputs and Outputs) capabilities. The X10 is particularly adept at communicating with master devices via two CAN controllers, allowing it to operate as a slave and offer a comprehensive range of I/O features. It seamlessly integrates with all Syvecs ECU models using just two wires and can also be used with other compatible manufacturers.
Key Features:
H-Bridge Outputs for Enhanced Flexibility:
- The X10 Expander includes four outputs designed to be driven to high load or low load conditions. These H-bridge outputs are remarkably versatile and can be paired to control external DC motors. This feature is particularly valuable in applications such as drive by wire systems and various other automotive functions.
Low-Side Outputs for Diverse Applications:
- The unit incorporates six low-side outputs that drive outputs to the ground. These outputs are suitable for driving solenoids, relays, and external devices. They also feature internal pull-up and fly-back diode settings for added convenience.
DAC Outputs for Analog Voltage Generation:
- Four DAC (digital-to-analog) outputs are present on the X10, converting binary input numbers into analog voltage outputs. This capability is useful for generating voltage signals to mimic sensor outputs, providing versatility in signal generation.
Flexible Input Options:
- The X10 boasts 10 inputs, with six of them being flexible inputs (AS Inputs). These support various functionalities, including frequency detection, SENT decoding, thermistor (with an internal 3k pull-up), and bipolar operation. The remaining four inputs are standard 0-5V ADC inputs.
Lambda Sensor Circuits for Accurate Monitoring:
- The unit features two NTK Lambda sensor circuits, allowing direct connection of lambda sensors and outputting oxygen ratio data via CAN to the master device.
