APPLICATION NOTE
OVERVIEW OF ENHANCED CAN CONTROLLERS
FOR ST7 AND ST9 MCUS
by Microcontroller Division Applications
ABSTRACT
Automotive body network requirements have changed significantly in the last few years due to
the introduction of OSEK and the increasing number of ECUs.
8-bit microcontrollers are and will stay widely used in a majority of automotive body applica-
tions. While a wide variety of powerful CAN controllers are available on the market for 16- and
32-bit microcontrollers, 8-bit microcontrollers still need too much CPU time for CAN communi-
cation management. This application note presents a new generation of CAN controllers opti-
mized for 8-bit microcontrollers and designed to meet the needs of body applications.
