Lawrenz Wolfhard. CAN System Engineering. From Theory to Practical Applications

Second Edition. — Springer London Heidelberg New York Dordrecht, 2013. 375 p. — ISBN: 978-1-4471-5612-3, ISBN: 978-1-4471-5613-0 (eBook).Controller Area Network — CAN — is a communication protocol, which had been developed by R. Bosch GmbH in the beginning of the 1980s.The design focus was to support robust applications in cars. The protocol then was introduced to the market in cooperation of Bosch and Intel. In the year 1990 Mercedes Benz was the first car manufacturer who applied CAN in a series application, in the S-class car for networking of body electronics. The first suppliers of CAN modules at that time were Intel and Motorola. Currently almost all minor and major semiconductor manufacturers have CAN products in their portfolio. In 1997 24 million CAN interfaces were produced in 1 year; 2 years later there were already more than three times as many. Currently there will probably be more than a billion per year.CAN Basic Architectures
