19.1 Overview
The Enhanced Controller Area Network (ECAN)
module is a serial interface, useful for communicating
with other CAN modules or microcontroller devices.
This interface/protocol was designed to allow
communications within noisy environments. The
PIC24HJ32GP302/304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04 and
PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 devices contain up to two
ECAN modules.
The ECAN module is a communication controller
implementing the CAN 2.0 A/B protocol, as defined in
the BOSCH CAN specification. The module supports
CAN 1.2, CAN 2.0A, CAN 2.0B Passive and CAN 2.0B
Active versions of the protocol. The module
implementation is a full CAN system. The CAN specifi-
cation is not covered within this data sheet. The reader
can refer to the BOSCH CAN specification for further
details.
The module features are as follows:
• Implementation of the CAN protocol, CAN 1.2,
CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B
• Standard and extended data frames
• Data length of 0-8 bytes
• Programmable bit rate up to 1 Mbit/sec
• Automatic response to remote transmission
requests
• Up to eight transmit buffers with application speci-
fied prioritization and abort capability (each buffer
can contain up to 8 bytes of data)
• Up to 32 receive buffers (each buffer can contain
up to 8 bytes of data)
• Up to 16 full (standard/extended identifier)
acceptance filters
• Three full acceptance filter masks
• DeviceNet™ addressing support
• Programmable wake-up functionality with
integrated low-pass filter
• Programmable Loopback mode supports self-test
operation
• Signaling via interrupt capabilities for all CAN
receiver and transmitter error states
• Programmable clock source
• Programmable link to input capture module (IC2
for CAN1) for time-stamping and network
synchronization
• Low-power Sleep and Idle mode
The CAN bus module consists of a protocol engine and
message buffering/control. The CAN protocol engine
handles all functions for receiving and transmitting
messages on the CAN bus. Messages are transmitted
by first loading the appropriate data registers. Status
and errors can be checked by reading the appropriate
registers. Any message detected on the CAN bus is
checked for errors and then matched against filters to
see if it should be received and stored in one of the
receive registers.
