CAN
Integrates MAC IP to a broad range of PHY and SerDes IP
Overview
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to facilitate communication between various electronic control units (ECUs) within a vehicle. Developed in the 1980s by Bosch, CAN has become the standard communication protocol in automotive and industrial applications due to its high reliability, efficiency, and real-time capabilities. It enables the ECUs to communicate with each other.
Features
High Reliability: Operates in noisy environments with error detection and correction.
- Real-Time Capabilities: Supports time-critical applications.
- Fault Tolerance: Includes mechanisms to detect and isolate faulty nodes.
- Multi-Master Capability: Allows multiple nodes to communicate without a central controller.
- Scalability: Supports different data rates and system sizes.
- Low Cost: Reduces wiring complexity and cost.
