4 Functional Description
CAN is a serial bus system that connects microcontrollers, sensors and actuators for real-time control applications.
The use of the C
ontroller Area Network (abbreviated CAN) within road vehicles is described by the international
standard ISO 11898. According to the 7-layer OSI reference model, the physical layer of a CAN bus system
specifies the data transmission from one CAN node to all other available CAN nodes within the network. The
physical layer specification of a CAN bus system includes all electrical and mechanical specifications of a CAN
network. The CAN transceiver is part of the physical layer specification. Several different physical layer standards
of CAN networks have been developed in recent years. The TLE6251D is a High Speed CAN transceiver with a
dedicated bus wake-up function and defined by the international standard ISO 11898-2.
