What is CANFD?

CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate) is an enhanced version of the classic CAN bus protocol. It allows for faster data transmission rates (up to 5 Mbit/s, potentially higher) and larger data payloads (up to 64 bytes) compared to the original CAN standard (1 Mbit/s and 8 bytes). CAN FD is commonly used in automotive applications (e.g., engine control, safety systems), industrial automation, and other embedded systems where higher bandwidth and increased data throughput are required for improved performance and functionality.
