18.2.2 TXCAN — CAN Transmitter Output Pin 
TXCAN is the MSCAN transmitter output pin. The TXCAN output pin represents the logic level on the 
CAN bus: 
0 = Dominant state
1 = Recessive state
18.2.3 CAN System
A typical CAN system with MSCAN is shown in Figure 18-2. Each CAN station is connected physically 
to the CAN bus lines through a transceiver device. The transceiver is capable of driving the large current 
needed for the CAN bus and has current protection against defective CAN or defective stations.

18.3 Memory Map and Register Definition
This section provides a detailed description of all registers accessible in the MSCAN.
18.3.1 Module Memory Map
Figure 18-3 gives an overview on all registers and their individual bits in the MSCAN memory map. The 
register address results from the addition of base address and address offset. The base address is 
determined at the MCU level and can be found in the MCU memory map description. The address offset 
is defined at the module level.
The MSCAN occupies 64 bytes in the memory space. The base address of the MSCAN module is 
determined at the MCU level when the MCU is defined. The register decode map is fixed and begins at 
the first address of the module address offset.
