Figure 3-1:Example Design

The CAN example design consists of the following:

•CAN netlist

•HDL wrapper which instantiates the CAN netlist

•Customizeable demonstration test bench to simulate the example design

The CAN example design has been tested with Xilinx ISE® software v12.1 and the Mentor Graphics ModelSim v6.5c simulator.
