The CANmodule-IIx from Inicore offers a compact yet powerful solution for systems-integration of CAN bus communication. Designed with FIFO structures for efficient message handling, this module adheres to the CAN 2.0A/B and ISO 11898-1 standards, making it a reliable interface for FPGA and ASIC-based embedded systems.
Its architecture includes a 32-depth receive FIFO and a 16-depth transmit FIFO, enhancing data management and ensuring continuous data flow without bottlenecks. The module’s versatility is further amplified through programmable interrupt capabilities and a priority message handling system that caters to both standard and high-priority transmissions. The AMBA APB interface supports seamless integration into ARM-based SoC configurations, which is critical for modern embedded systems.
The FIFO-based design is optimized for low gate counts, ensuring efficient implementation and robust performance while supporting a wide spectrum of data rates up to 1 Mbps. Additionally, various operational test modes, including loopback and listen-only modes, facilitate comprehensive debugging and testing, essential for system diagnostics and robustness.
