DCAN FD - Configurable CAN Bus Controller with Flexible Data-Rate
Block Diagram

Overview
The DCAN FD is a standalone controller for the Controller Area Network (CAN), widely used in automotive and industrial applications. The DCAN FD has been designed in accordance to ISO 11898-1:2015. It conforms to: - Bosch CAN 2.0B specification (2.0B Active) and - CAN FD (flexible data-rate). Sophisticated error detection functions, which increase communication reliability and unique fault confinement, what guarantees network-wide data consistency have decided about CAN’s popularity. Because of its fundamental role in all aspects of security and safety, trustworthy implementations are crucial. That’s why Digital Core Design developed unique IP Core, which delimits the highest quality standards. The improved protocol overcomes standard CAN limits: data can be transmitted faster than with 1 Mbit/s and the payload (data field) is up to 64 byte long and limited to 8 byte anymore. When only one node is transmitting, the bit-rate can be increased, because no nodes need to be synchronized.
Features
