Executive Summary

Because CAN was introduced inside the ’80s, it has observed a tremendous evolution with regards to specifications and needs. Its extended capabilities have led to its wide adoption across applications, from automotive to the industrial machine and factory automation. With this development, the complexity of implementation has also improved on two levels:

• CAN controller design has gone from a fundamental controller to a complete CAN controller and, in some instances, an extended full CAN controller.
• CAN application stacks vary, from an automotive communication stack to CANOpen, and DeviceNet?

Given which can is only a single element within the automotive system, developers have to be capable of implementing it with a handful challenges as possible so they could focus on system-level functionality instead of struggle with peripheral configuration.

This article will explore the CAN interface and talk about diverse strategies of implementing, configuring, and tuning interfaces to facilitate the … Continue reading >>>
