MSCAN Controller (MSCAN08)
MOTOROLA
23.2 Introduction
The MSCAN08 is the specific implementation of the Motorola scalable
controller area network (MSCAN) concept targeted for the Motorola
M68HC08 Microcontroller Family.
The module is a communication controller implementing the CAN 2.0
A/B protocol as defined in the BOSCH specification dated September
1991.
The CAN protocol was primarily, but not exclusively, designed to be
used as a vehicle serial data bus, meeting the specific requirements of
this field: real-time processing, reliable operation in the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) environment of a vehicle, cost-effectiveness and
required bandwidth.
MSCAN08 utilizes an advanced buffer arrangement, resulting in a
predictable real-time behavior, and simplifies the application software.
The MSCAN08 is only available on the MC68HC908AZ60A.
