The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communications protocol which efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a high level of security. CAN has high immunity to electrical interference and the ability to self-diagnose and repair data errors. In a CAN network, many short messages are broadcast to the entire network, which provides for data consistency in every node of the system.
The MCAN module supports both classic CAN and CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) specifications. CAN FD feature allows high throughput and increased payload per data frame. The classic CAN and CAN FD devices can coexist on the same network without any conflict.
The device supports one MCAN module connecting to the CAN network through external (for the device) transceiver for connection to the physical layer. The MCAN module supports up to 5 Mbit/s data rate and is compliant to ISO 11898-1:2015.
Figure 26-186 shows the MCAN module overview.
