MCUs That Combine CAN FD (Flexible Data-Rate) And Core Independent Peripherals

Microchip Technology announced its PIC18 Q84 family, a series of microcontroller units (MCU) that supports data transmission and reception through a CAN FD network. The CAN FD port meets the demand for increased bandwidth in CAN applications. The CAN FD module supports the CAN 2.0B standard and thus is fully backward compatible with previous CAN Bus modules. The [...]

Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) And Higher-Layer Protocols CANopen, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000

For the longest time, the major misconception about Controller Area Network (CAN) was that it merely applies to automobiles. The truth is, CAN, since its introduction in 1986, proved to be a robust, versatile, and straightforward technology and, consequently, the CAN Bus technology found its way into all areas of applications where microprocessors need to [...]

Industrial And Military-Strength Galvanically Isolated Classical CAN And CAN FD Breakout Boards

We at Copperhill Technologies are currently developing a new product, the  JCOM.CAN.QUAD, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. For the sake of maximum flexibility, we decided to use a sandwich design where separate CAN boards [...]

PiCAN FD Functionality Test - CAN Bus FD Duo Board with Real Time Clock for Raspberry Pi

CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) is an updated version of the CAN 2.0B protocol. It takes into account the requirement of the automotive industry to make Classical CAN faster. To achieve that, two principles have been introduced: Faster transfer of the data frame – the Arbitration Field (ID and Acknowledgement) remain unchanged so that the arbitration [...]
