Abstract
The realisation of specific automotive applications with “Full ” CAN functionality at “Basic ” CAN cost on highly integrated 8-Bit microcontroller of NEC’s 78K/0 family. CAN today is the most widespread serial communication protocol in automotive applications. Coming from the high speed, high performance applications like motor management, where CAN is fairly well established in almost all major car makers around the globe, it has now conquered the wide field of comfort and convenience electronics as well as driver information systems. Although numerous silicon manufacturers have introduced a wide range of integrated microcontrollers with on-chip CAN, there was still lack of Application Specific Standard Products (ASSP) with CAN. NEC, an early pioneer of CAN activities, has established a complete new family of highly integrated microcontrollers specifically for the area of automotive instrumentation clusters. The new “Direct storage CAN ” (DCAN) module of NEC ideally combines a CAN 2.0b extended frame compliant with “Full ” CAN functionality at “Basic ” CAN cost. The integration of highly competitive and application specific peripherals on NEC’s powerful 78K/0 family in combination with Flash memory technology offers new perspectives and opportunities for system solutions at excellent price performance ratio.
