The Modular Controller Area Network (MCAN) module that implements the CAN interface. CAN is a serial communications protocol which efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a high immunity to electrical interference. In a CAN network, many short messages are broadcast to the entire network, which enables data consistency across 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 and is compliant to ISO 11898-1:2015. The classic CAN and CAN FD devices can coexist on the same network without any conflict.
The module connects to the physical layer of a CAN network through external transceivers.
