FlexCAN2 Controller Area Network
22.1 Introduction
The MPC5554 MCU contains three controller area network (FlexCAN2) modules; the MPC5553 contains
two FlexCAN2 modules. Each FlexCAN2 module is a communication controller implementing the CAN
protocol according to CAN Specification version 2.0B and ISO Standard 11898. Each FlexCAN2 module
contains a 1024-byte embedded memory, capable of storing 64 message buffers (MBs). The respective
functions are described in subsequent sections.
