The request to enter Normal mode is issued by clearing the INRQ bit in the CAN_MCR
register. The bxCAN enters Normal mode and is ready to take part in bus activities when it
has synchronized with the data transfer on the CAN bus. This is done by waiting for the
occurrence of a sequence of 11 consecutive recessive bits (Bus Idle state). The switch to
Normal mode is confirmed by the hardware by clearing the INAK bit in the CAN_MSR
register.
The initialization of the filter values is independent from Initialization Mode but must be done
while the filter is not active (corresponding FACTx bit cleared). The filter scale and mode
configuration must be configured before entering Normal Mode.
31.4.3 Sleep
mode
(low-power)
To reduce power consumption, bxCAN has a low-power mode called Sleep mode. This
mode is entered on software request by setting the SLEEP bit in the CAN_MCR register. In
this mode, the bxCAN clock is stopped, however software can still access the bxCAN
mailboxes.
If software requests entry to
initialization
mode by setting the INRQ bit while bxCAN is in
Sleep
mode, it must also clear the SLEEP bit.
bxCAN can be woken up (exit Sleep mode) either by software clearing the SLEEP bit or on
detection of CAN bus activity.
On CAN bus activity detection, hardware automatically performs the wakeup sequence by
clearing the SLEEP bit if the AWUM bit in the CAN_MCR register is set. If the AWUM bit is
cleared, software has to clear the SLEEP bit when a wakeup interrupt occurs, in order to exit
from Sleep mode.
Note:
If the wakeup interrupt is enabled (WKUIE bit set in CAN_IER register) a wakeup interrupt
will be generated on detection of CAN bus activity, even if the bxCAN automatically
performs the wakeup sequence.
After the SLEEP bit has been cleared, Sleep mode is exited once bxCAN has synchronized
with the CAN bus, refer to
Figure 379: bxCAN operating modes
. The Sleep mode is exited
once the SLAK bit has been cleared by hardware.
