Controller area network (bxCAN)

Low-density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx
microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes.
Medium-density devices are STM32F101xx, STM32F102xx and STM32F103xx
microcontrollers where the Flash memory density ranges between 64 and 128 Kbytes.
High-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where the
Flash memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes.
This section applies to the STM32F103xx performance line family only.

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.
