CAN Features

The document outlines key features of Controller Area Network (CAN) including its speed, data limits, bus structure, and network topology. CAN frames can transmit data at speeds up to 1 Mbps over a maximum length of 40 meters, with a common industry configuration of 500 kbps. Each CAN frame can carry a maximum of 8 bytes of data, and the bus consists of a twisted pair of wires for noise immunity, terminated with a 120-ohm resistor.

CAN Speed
 CAN frames can go up to 1mbps speed with the bus length at max of 40 mts.
 As the bus length increases above the maximum speed reduces.
 In industry usually the CAN is configured at 500kbps speed

 Lets say the baud rate is 500kbps  In 1 second, 500 *1000 bits can be transmitted
 Lets say a single frame takes about 125 bits for example (without stuffing 111 bits)
 So in a second the bus can fit around 2000 (500k /125) frames
Data Limit
Application 1 Application 2

frame Data

ECU 1 ECU 2

 Frame has 2 parts: PCI and Data


 As per CAN protocol How much data can be sent in each frame?  8 Bytes
 Is the data size variable?  Yes we can have 0 bytes or 1 byte or 2 bytes etc. Max is 8 bytes.
 Is it possible to have data in bits?  No. Its in bytes. We cant have 2 bit or 27 bits etc its
always in bytes.
CAN Bus

120 ohm
Can High Can Low

 CAN bus is a Dual-Twisted pair wires called CanHigh and CanLow


 Differential Voltage Logic CAN_H CAN_L Delta V
 Logic1 = Recessive bit
 Logic0 = Dominant bit
Logic 1 2.5v 2.5v 0
Logic 0 3.5v 1.5v 2

 Why twisted pair?  Noise Immunity


 Terminated with 120 ohm resistor  Impedance matching

Micro controllers work with TTL and not CAN logic
