Introduction
1.2.2
CAN Operation
The ECAN/LIN PICtail Plus Daughter Board connects two high-speed CAN
transceivers to ECAN modules on the control device on the Explorer 16 board. The
CAN transceivers convert the differential signal on the CAN bus to a digital signal for
the ECAN module. It also converts the ECAN output digital signal to a differential signal
for the CAN bus.
In Sleep mode, the CAN transmitter is turned off, and the receiver operates at a lower
current level. The control device monitors CAN activity and switches the transceiver
back to normal operation when needed.
