This application note describes the CAN
1
Protocol, Infineon CAN devices and different
options for connecting devices of the Infineon C166 and C500 microcontroller families
to the Controller Area Network (CAN). It replaces the German application note "CAN-
Anschluß für die Mikrocontrollerfamilien C166 and C500".
After the introduction (Section 1), Section 2 introduces the reader to the Controller
Area Network (CAN). Section 3 describes the Infineon CAN devices, the 16-bit
microcontroller C167CR, the 8-bit microcontroller C515C, and the Stand-Alone Full-
CAN Controller SAE 81C90/91. Section 4 gives hardware examples for connection of
Infineon microcontrollers to CAN. Finally, in Section 5, ways of handling the
SAE 81C90/91 and the CAN module on the C167CR and the C515C are given.
