CAN and CAN FD Protocol Products

Complete Solutions for Controller Area Network (CAN 2.0) and CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate)

Bring communication and connectivity in your embedded design to the next level with our Controller Area Network (CAN) bus solutions technology. Originally created for automotive applications, the CAN protocol is a high-speed, reliable communication protocol for applications requiring robust communication at bit rates reaching 8 Mbps. Incorporating the CAN protocol into your design is a cost-effective communications option which enables a high degree of real-time capability for simple to complex electrical environments.

We offer a complete line of products to meet the needs of high-performance embedded applications using the CAN protocol, including 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), 32-bit microprocessors (MPUs) and Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) with integrated CAN, external CAN controllers and CAN transceivers. With easy-to-use development systems, code examples, drivers and application notes, we provide a total CAN bus solution that enables low-risk product development, lower total system cost and faster time to market for your high-performance, embedded design.

CAN Interface Functional Safety

The increasing complexity of functions in today’s cars is driving home the importance of functional safety standards. Driver assistance and safety systems in modern cars need robust and dependable electronic components. The safety risks resulting from random hardware failures or systematic hardware/software errors must be reduced as much as possible throughout the product’s foreseeable lifetime.

Our CAN products offer a variety of safety features to help you implement a more reliable motor control design.
