5.7 Controller Area Network (DCAN)
The DCAN supports the CAN 2.0B protocol standard and uses a serial, multimaster communication
protocol that efficiently supports distributed real-time control with robust communication rates of up to 1
megabit per second (Mbps). The DCAN is ideal for applications operating in noisy and harsh
environments (e.g., automotive and industrial fields) that require reliable serial communication or
multiplexed wiring.
5.7.1 Features
Features of the DCAN module include:
• Supports CAN protocol version 2.0 part A, B
• Bit rates up to 1 MBit/s
• The CAN kernel can be clocked by the oscillator for baud-rate generation.
• 64 mailboxes on each DCAN
• Individual identifier mask for each message object
• Programmable FIFO mode for message objects
• Programmable loop-back modes for self-test operation
• Automatic bus on after Bus-Off state by a programmable 32-bit timer
• Message RAM protected by parity
• Direct access to Message RAM during test mode
• CAN Rx / Tx pins configurable as general purpose IO pins
• Message RAM Auto Initialization
• DMA support
For more information on the DCAN see the device Technical Reference Manual.
