OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing Microchip Technology’s ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter
Board. This board is used with the Explorer 16 Development Board to facilitate rapid
implementation and evaluation of applications that use Controller Area Network (CAN)
and Local Interconnect Network (LIN) interfaces and are implemented on dsPIC33F
Digital Signal Controllers and PIC24 16-bit microcontrollers.
This chapter introduces the ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board and provides an
overview of its features. Topics covered include:
• Overview
• Functional Overview
The ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board augments development of dsPIC33F and
PIC24 based applications on the Explorer 16 Development Board. It offers two
interfaces: one for a CAN Bus and one for a LIN Bus. Although CAN and LIN protocols
are used most extensively in automotive applications, the ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus
Daughter Board can be used in any application that requires interfacing to a CAN and
LIN bus.
Both interfaces can be used simultaneously. Appropriate bus transceivers on the
ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board complete the physical layer requirements of
the CAN and LIN bus protocols. In both cases, communication is driven by the
dsPIC33F or PIC24 device on the Explorer 16 board.
Figure 1-1 shows the ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board plugged into the PICtail
Plus slot on the Explorer 16 Development Board. The ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter
Board draws 9V, 5V and 3.3V DC power from the Explorer 16 Development Board. The
external power supply and MPLAB ICD 2 are plugged into the Explorer 16 board.
