Freescale Controller Area Network (S08MSCANV1)
12.1
Introduction
The Freescale controller area network (MSCAN) is a communication controller implementing the CAN
2.0A/B protocol as defined in the Bosch specification dated September 1991. To fully understand the
MSCAN specification, it is recommended that the Bosch specification be read first to gain familiarity with
the terms and concepts contained within this document.
Though not exclusively intended for automotive applications, CAN protocol is designed to meet the
specific requirements of a vehicle serial data bus: real-time processing, reliable operation in the EMI
environment of a vehicle, cost-effectiveness, and required bandwidth.
MSCAN uses an advanced buffer arrangement resulting in predictable real-time behavior and simplified
application software.
The MSCAN module is available in all devices in the MC9S08DZ60 Series.
