CANmodule-IIIx is an advanced CAN controller core that supports a vast array of communication needs in embedded systems. This module enhances message management with 32 receive and 32 transmit buffers, each equipped with its own filter. Designed to comply with ISO 11898-1, it facilitates comprehensive CAN 2.0A/B communications, ensuring compatibility and performance across multiple applications, including automotive and robotics industries.
The module includes an AMBA 3 APB interface for straightforward integration within ARM-based SoCs and is structured using technology-independent HDL, which allows it to be easily adapted to both ASIC and FPGA platforms. Its design offers robust message handling, with programmable priority arbitration that secures the timely transmission of critical messages, a crucial feature in environments demanding immediate response.
Providing extensive support for higher layer protocols, the CANmodule-IIIx covers essential elements like automatic RTR response handling and generates interrupts for various message and error conditions. Debugging is also simplified through its listen-only, internal, and external loopback modes. This multibuffering system offers enhanced message management suitable for complex and critical operations.
