22.2 CAN Theory of Operation
The CAN Controller has two operating modes:
• Operating Mode, during which data can be transmitted and received.
• Reset Mode, in which special modes of operation, such as changing the values for
the Receive and Transmit Error Counters and the Error Warning Limit Register, can
be performed.
Reset Mode can be enabled by either setting the Reset Mode in the Mode Register or
through a System Reset. The Mode Register also allows special modes to be selected,
such as Listen Only Mode and Self Test Mode.
