Digi-Key first to Stock NXP LPC11C2x
CAN is recognized as a robust and reliable communication channel for rugged environments. The LPC11C22 and LPC11C24 with integrated high speed CAN physical layer transceiver and easy to use on-chip CANopen drivers offers complete CAN functionality in a low-cost LQFP48 package.
Typically, CAN transceivers can cost as much as or even more than the microcontroller itself. Integrating the CAN transceiver on board increases system reliability and quality, reduces electrical interconnect and compatibility issues, and reduces board space by over 50 percent while adding less than 20 percent to the MCU cost.
CANopen drivers are provided in on-chip ROM with easy-to-use APIs enabling users to rapidly adopt the LPC11C22/C24 into embedded networking applications based on the CANopen standard.
This standardized layer (EN 50325) is especially well suited for embedded networks in all kinds of control, such as machines and elevators, making proprietary or application-specific application layers obsolete.
Incorporating CANopen drivers in on-chip ROM reduces overall risk and effort while providing design engineers with the added advantage of reduced operating power, as well as secure and safe bootloading via CAN.
