Microchip Technology offers a complete line of 8-bit microcontrollers to
meet the needs of high-performance embedded applications using the
Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Microchip’s portfolio of 8-bit Flash MCUs
with integrated CAN 2.0B functionality allows execution of complex control
algorithms and network interfaces on the same device. On-chip peripherals
include A/D converters, comparators, pulse-width modulators, addressable
USART, and Master I
2
C™/SPI™.
Microchip also offers ECAN™ technology on many PICmicro MCUs. ECAN
Technology is a flexible CAN 2.0B interface specifically designed to address
embedded control applications in the automotive and general-purpose market
segments. The ECAN module supports the full CAN implementation along
with supporting the DeviceNet™ protocol as well as a FIFO state machine.
