25.2 The CAN System
A typical CAN system is shown below in Figure 25-2.
Figure 25-2. Typical CAN system
Each CAN station is connected physically to the CAN bus through a transceiver. The transceiver provides
the transmit drive, waveshaping, and receive/compare functions required for communicating on the CAN
bus. It can also provide protection against damage to the FlexCAN caused by a defective CAN bus or
defective stations.
25.3 Message Buffers
