Controller area network (bxCAN)

32.1

Introduction

The Basic Extended CAN peripheral, named bxCAN, interfaces the CAN network. It
supports the CAN protocols version 2.0A and B. It has been designed to manage a high
number of incoming messages efficiently with a minimum CPU load. It also meets the
priority requirements for transmit messages.
For safety-critical applications, the CAN controller provides all hardware functions for
supporting the CAN Time Triggered Communication option.

Dual CAN peripheral configuration
•
CAN1: Master bxCAN for managing the communication between a Slave bxCAN and
the 512-byte SRAM memory
•
CAN2: Slave bxCAN, with no direct access to the SRAM memory.
• The two bxCAN cells share the 512-byte SRAM memory (see
