CAN and CAN FD Protocol Products

We offer a complete line of products to meet the needs of high-performance embedded applications using the CAN protocol, including 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs and DSCs with integrated CAN.

We offer 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs and DSCs with integrated CAN FD bus compliant to 11898-1:2015 (ISO CAN FD). These products range from entry-level devices to high-performance products both in industrial and automotive-qualified solutions.

We offer a wide range of MPU-based devices supporting both CAN and CAN FD for industrial and qualified automotive solutions. CAN is supported on both the SAM9 and SAMA5D series MPUs, with support provided for both RTOS and Linux^® operating systems.

Our CAN and CAN FD transceivers support the newest CAN standards, ISO 11898 2/5/6, ISO 11898-2:2016 and SAE J2962-2. These CAN transceivers offer unique features, various wake-up functionalities and high levels of EMC performance with and without Common Mode Choke. These devices also offer the industry’s first Grade 0 (Temp: −40 to 150°C) automotive approved CAN transceiver family.

By combining a CAN controller and high-speed CAN transceiver in a single package these devices minimize application component count while offering the same features as the stand-alone devices.

These CAN Partial Networking (PN) transceivers support not only local wake-up via WAKE and remote wake-up pattern according to ISO 11898-2: 2016, but also support ISO 11898-2: 2016 compliant CAN partial networking. A CAN frame decoder evaluates the bus traffic and checks for a matching frame that has been configured into registers via the SPI. The device is able to keep the complete ECU in a low power mode even when bus traffic is present until a valid wake-up frame is received. It also features a watchdog and a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).

These products increase design flexibility while reducing component count and can be easily added to a microcontroller with an available SPI interface. Therefore, a CAN FD channel can be easily added to a MCU that is either lacking a CAN FD peripheral or that doesn't have enough CAN FD channels. They support both CAN frames in the classical format (CAN 2.0B) and CAN Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) format as specified in ISO11898-1:2015.
