CAN Bus Solutions
Taking Communication and Connectivity in Deeply-Embedded Designs to the Next Level
Controller Area Network (CAN)
CAN is a serial communication protocol used extensively
for high-speed embedded applications where noise
immunity and robustness is necessary. CAN protocol
supports speeds up to 1 Mbps and is highly fault-tolerant,
making it ideal for safety-critical applications.
Microchip offers a complete line of products to meet
the needs of high-performance embedded applications
using the CAN protocol, including 8-, 16- and 32-bit
microcontrollers and 16-bit digital signal controllers
with integrated CAN, stand-alone CAN controllers, I/O
expanders and CAN transceivers.
CAN MCUs and DSCs
The 8-bit PIC18F66K80 family offers the industry's best
Sleep current of less than 20 nA, a wide operating voltage
range of 1.8 to 5.5V and an advanced touch sensing
interface. The 16-bit PIC24 and dsPIC33 families offer
higher-density Flash memories and high-temperature
operation of up to 150°C ambient. The 32-bit PIC32 family
offers higher performance and better peripheral integration
like Ethernet and USB.
At the heart of Microchip’s CAN offering is the enhanced
CAN module offered on many Microchip microcontrollers.
Key features include:
CAN 1.2, CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B support
32 buffers for TX/RX
32 acceptance fi lters
4 acceptance mask fi lters
Time stamping
DMA support in 16-bit PIC24H and PIC32
microcontrollers and dsPIC33F digital signal controllers
DeviceNet™ support
Legacy mode
Stand-alone CAN Controller
Microchip Technology’s MCP2515 is a stand-alone
Controller Area Network (CAN) controller that implements
the CAN specification, version 2.0B. It is capable of
transmitting and receiving both standard and extended
data and remote frames. The MCP2515 interfaces with
MCUs via an industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) and can be used as an easy method to implement
CAN in an existing system.
CAN Transceivers
The MCP2561/2 are high-speed CAN transceivers that
serve as an interface between a CAN controller and the
physical bus. The MCP2561 is a SPLIT Option for common
mode stabilization and the MCP2562 is a VIO Option for
digital I/O level shifting from 1.8V to 5.5V. Both parts
meet ISO and CAN specifications in addition to global
automotive EMC hardware requirements.
CAN Development Tools
CAN Bus Analyzer (APGDT002)
The CAN bus analyzer development
tool enables a PC to communicate
with the CAN bus. The PC program
uses a graphical user interface to
enter and display message frames occurring on the target
bus, allowing for easy debuging. It can also be used as
an active node on a bus to send and receive messages,
reducing the application development time.
CAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board (AC164130-2)
This daughter board can be used with
the Explorer 16 Development board and
various PIMs featuring 16- and 32-bit
MCUs with CAN peripherals, or the PIC18
Explorer board with the PIC18F66K80
PIM to facilitate rapid implementation and evaluation of
CAN and LIN applications.
PICDEM CAN-LIN 3 Demonstration Board (DM163015)
The PICDEM CAN-LIN 3 demo board is
an easy way to discover the power of
Microchip’s CAN and LIN products. The
board demonstrates the main features of
the 64-pin TQFP PIC18F6680 and 80-pin
TQFP PIC18F8680 devices, including those features of the
integrated CAN module. In addition, the board employs a LIN
sub-network using Microchip's 20-pin SSOP PIC18F1320 and
MCP201 LIN Bus.
