The CC175 dual channel Controller Area Network (CAN) interface provides a flexible and powerful connection from the VMEbus to the CAN network. The module contains two separate CAN network interface connections, each having its own controller and accompanying physical network interface.
The CAN controllers are capable of handling all CAN functions on-chip. The optical isolated physical interface is conform the ISO/DIS 11898 standard using the 82C251 CAN transceiver. To provide additional protection the interface is optically isolated using on-board optocouplers and DC/DC converters.
The on-board MPU eases the integration of the CC175 in a VMEbus system. Dual-Ported memory in combination with mailbox interrupts supports an extensive set of software options. These include both low-level CAN functions as well as standard higher protocol software layers.
