CAN Controller Features

CAN Protocol Overview
Mailbox Organization
Message Acceptance Procedure
The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a multi-master serial communication protocol that effi-
ciently supports real-time control with a very high level of security with bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s.
The CAN protocol supports four different frame types:
The Atmel CAN controller provides the CPU with full functionality of the CAN protocol V2.0 Part
A and V2.0 Part B. It minimizes the CPU load in communication overhead. The Data Link Layer
and part of the physical layer are automatically handled by the CAN controller itself.
The CPU reads or writes data or messages via the CAN controller mailboxes. An identifier is
assigned to each mailbox. The CAN controller encapsulates or decodes data messages to build
or to decode bus data frames. Remote frames, error frames and overload frames are automati-
cally handled by the CAN controller under supervision of the software application.
The CAN module has 8 buffers, also called channels or mailboxes. An identifier that corre-
sponds to the CAN identifier is defined for each active mailbox. Message identifiers can match
the standard frame identifier or the extended frame identifier. This identifier is defined for the first
time during the CAN initialization, but can be dynamically reconfigured later so that the mailbox
can handle a new message family. Several mailboxes can be configured with the same ID.
Each mailbox can be configured in receive or in transmit mode independently. The mailbox
object type is defined in the MOT field of the CAN_MMRx register.
If the MIDE field in the CAN_MIDx register is set, the mailbox can handle the extended format
identifier; otherwise, the mailbox handles the standard format identifier. Once a new message is
received, its ID is masked with the CAN_MAMx value and compared with the CAN_MIDx value.
If accepted, the message ID is copied to the CAN_MIDx register.
