Chapter 14 Freescale’s Scalable Controller Area Network (S12MSCANV3)
MC9S12XDP512 Data Sheet, Rev. 2.11
Freescale Semiconductor 619
• Three low-power modes: sleep, power down, and MSCAN enable
• Global initialization of configuration registers
14.1.4 Modes of Operation
The following modes of operation are specific to the MSCAN. See Section 14.4, “Functional Description,”
for details.
• Listen-Only Mode
• MSCAN Sleep Mode
• MSCAN Initialization Mode
• MSCAN Power Down Mode
14.2 External Signal Description
The MSCAN uses two external pins:
14.2.1 RXCAN — CAN Receiver Input Pin
RXCAN is the MSCAN receiver input pin.
14.2.2 TXCAN — CAN Transmitter Output Pin
TXCAN is the MSCAN transmitter output pin. The TXCAN output pin represents the logic level on the
CAN bus:
0 = Dominant state
1 = Recessive state
14.2.3 CAN System
A typical CAN system with MSCAN is shown in Figure 14-2. Each CAN station is connected physically
to the CAN bus lines through a transceiver device. The transceiver is capable of driving the large current
needed for the CAN bus and has current protection against defective CAN or defective stations.
