Three low-power modes: sleep, power down, and MSCAN enable
Global initialization of configuration registers

14.1.4 Modes of Operation

The following modes of operation are specific to the MSCAN. See Section 14.4, “Functional Description,”
for details.
Listen-Only Mode
MSCAN Sleep Mode
MSCAN Initialization Mode
MSCAN Power Down Mode
14.2 External Signal Description
The MSCAN uses two external pins:

14.2.1 RXCAN — CAN Receiver Input Pin

RXCAN is the MSCAN receiver input pin.

14.2.2 TXCAN — CAN Transmitter Output Pin

TXCAN is the MSCAN transmitter output pin. The TXCAN output pin represents the logic level on the
CAN bus:
0 = Dominant state
1 = Recessive state

14.2.3 CAN System

A typical CAN system with MSCAN is shown in Figure 14-2. Each CAN station is connected physically
to the CAN bus lines through a transceiver device. The transceiver is capable of driving the large current
needed for the CAN bus and has current protection against defective CAN or defective stations.
