User manual
1. Basic configuration
The CAN1/2 peripherals are configured using the following registers:
1. Power: In the PCONP register (Table 4–46), set bits PCAN1/2.
Remark: On reset, the CAN1/2 blocks are disabled (PCAN1/2 = 0).
2. Peripheral clock: In the PCLKSEL0 register (Table 4–40), select PCLK_CAN1,
PCLK_CAN2, and, for the acceptance filter, PCLK_ACF. Note that these must all be
the same value.
Remark: If CAN baud rates above 100 kbit/s (see Table 16–323) are needed, do not
select the IRC as the clock source (see Table 4–17).
3. Wake-up: CAN controllers are able to wake up the microcontroller from Power-down
mode, see Section 4–8.8.
4. Pins: Select CAN1/2 pins through the PINSEL registers and their pin modes through
the PINMODE registers (Section 8–5).
5. Interrupts: CAN interrupts are enabled using the CAN1/2IER registers
(Table 16–322). Interrupts are enabled in the NVIC using the appropriate Interrupt Set
Enable register.
6. CAN controller initialization: see CANMOD register (Section 16–7.1).
2. CAN controllers
Controller Area Network (CAN) is the definition of a high performance communication
protocol for serial data communication. The CAN Controller is designed to provide a full
implementation of the CAN-Protocol according to the CAN Specification Version 2.0B.
Microcontrollers with this on-chip CAN controller are used to build powerful local networks
by supporting distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. The
applications are automotive, industrial environments, and high speed networks as well as
low cost multiplex wiring. The result is a strongly reduced wiring harness and enhanced
diagnostic and supervisory capabilities.
The CAN block is intended to support multiple CAN buses simultaneously, allowing the
device to be used as a gateway, switch, or router among a number of CAN buses in
various applications.
The CAN module consists of two elements: the controller and the Acceptance Filter. All
registers and the RAM are accessed as 32-bit words.
