CAN/CAN-FD Insights

What is CAN/CAN-FD?

CAN (Controller Area Network) and CAN-FD (CAN Flexible Data-Rate) are robust, message-based protocols designed for in-vehicle networks. CAN is widely used for communication between microcontrollers and devices within a vehicle without a host computer. CAN-FD is an evolution of CAN that supports higher data rates, addressing the increasing bandwidth demands of modern automotive applications like advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving.
