Microcontrollers with scalable CAN interface module

10 September 2003 DSP, Micros & Memory Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection

Microchip's 48 KB and 64 KB PICmicro Flash microcontrollers feature the company's new ECAN module, a flexible and easy-to-use CAN 2.0B interface.

This module features configurable transmit and receive buffers that can be used for standard CAN operation or as FIFO registers, allowing one device to be used for multiple applications. The ECAN module enables multiple applications to be configured on a single node, easier implementation to a software protocol bridge from a CAN network, and allows a device to be re-used across different applications. The module also provides hardware support for the DeviceNet protocols.

Ideal for complex embedded command-and-control networks, the PIC18F8680/6680 and PIC18F8585/6585 devices feature up to 64 KB of self-programmable Flash memory. They are code-compatible with existing 8-bit CAN PICmicro microcontrollers.

Development support is available with Microchip's PICDEM CAN LIN 1 and 2 Demonstration Boards. In addition to the CAN network, the boards also employ a LIN sub-network using Microchip's PIC16C43X device family. The PICDEM CAN LIN 1 and 2 kits include pre-programmed firmware on a sample device, and PC software and documentation for simulating a CAN network.
