16.14 Acceptance filter registers
16.14.1 Acceptance Filter Mode Register (AFMR - 0x4003 C000)
The AccBP and AccOff bits of the acceptance filter mode register are used for putting the 
acceptance filter into the Bypass and Off mode. The eFCAN bit of the mode register can 
be used to activate a FullCAN mode enhancement for received 11-bit CAN ID messages.
 
[1] Acceptance Filter Bypass Mode (AccBP): By setting the AccBP bit in the Acceptance Filter Mode Register, the Acceptance filter is put 
into the Acceptance Filter Bypass mode. During bypass mode, the internal state machine of the Acceptance Filter is reset and halted. All 
received CAN messages are accepted, and acceptance filtering can be done by software.
[2] Acceptance Filter Off mode (AccOff): After power-up or hardware reset, the Acceptance filter will be in Off mode, the AccOff bit in the 
Acceptance filter Mode register 0 will be set to 1. The internal state machine of the acceptance filter is reset and halted. If not in Off 
mode, setting the AccOff bit, either by hardware or by software, will force the acceptance filter into Off mode.
[3] FullCAN Mode Enhancements: A FullCAN mode for received CAN messages can be enabled by setting the eFCAN bit in the 
acceptance filter mode register.
16.14.2 Section configuration registers
The 10-bit section configuration registers are used for the ID look-up table RAM to 
indicate the boundaries of the different sections for explicit and group of CAN identifiers 
for 11-bit CAN and 29-bit CAN identifiers, respectively. The 10-bit wide section 
configuration registers allow the use of a 512x32 (2 kB) look-up table RAM. The whole ID 
Look-up Table RAM is only word accessible. All five section configuration registers contain 
APB addresses for the acceptance filter RAM and do not include the APB base address. 
A write access to all section configuration registers is only possible during the Acceptance 
filter off and Bypass modes. Read access is allowed in all acceptance filter modes.

0 AccOff

1 if AccBP is 0, the Acceptance Filter is not operational. All Rx messages on all CAN 
buses are ignored.
1
1 AccBP
[1]
1 All Rx messages are accepted on enabled CAN controllers. Software must set this 
bit before modifying the contents of any of the registers described below, and 
before modifying the contents of Lookup Table RAM in any way other than setting 
or clearing Disable bits in Standard Identifier entries. When both this bit and AccOff 
are 0, the Acceptance filter operates to screen received CAN Identifiers.
0
2eFCAN
[3]
0 Software must read all messages for all enabled IDs on all enabled CAN buses, 
from the receiving CAN controllers.
0
1 The Acceptance Filter itself will take care of receiving and storing messages for 
selected Standard ID values on selected CAN buses. See Section 16.16 “
FullCAN 
mode” on page 383.
31:3 - Reserved, user software should not write ones to reserved bits. The value read 
from a reserved bit is not defined.
