Programmable CAN Module with ATmega162 device
CANDIP is a complete solution for CAN interfacing in a DIP28 package with standard 0.1 inch pins, so it is easy to fit. It is fitted with an Atmel AVR microcontroller type ATMega162 and the CAN controller SJA1000 from Philips

Application examples

CAN SLIO with your own protocol or with e.g. CANopen, DeviceNet, SDS, CAN Kingdom etc.

Smart nodes with PID algorithms for controlling e.g. temperature, motors or valves.

Data Acquisition via CAN. Add your favorite SPI/I2C ADC and collect data.

Home Automation. Build smart nodes for turning ON/OFF lights, burglar systems etc.

Add CAN simply to an existing system via e.g. SPI, RS-232 or your own way.

Education. CANDIP offers a very low cost way to learn CAN, we have many starter kits options.

Very fast development and prototypes- within a week

Decentralized smart nodes for e.g. Robots.

CAN monitor in an existing system. Add some Leds and you could monitor e.g valves etc

Features

Standard 28 pin DIP with 0.1" pins, so fits a standard DIP28 carrier.
Mechanical measurement is 37x19mm. Max height is 15mm from top of crystal to end of pin.
Needs only a 5VDC/28mA power source (plus max 70mA for CAN tranceiver*).
Atmel AVR type ATMega162 working at 7.3728Mhz (other crystals at request).
16kbytes user FLASH, 1Kbytes user RAM and 512bytes user EEPROM.
Up to 13 digital I/O points on DIP28 board, each capable to sink 20mA as outputs.
SPI port for expansion.
Two Interrupt lines availible for user functions (INT1 & INT2).
SJA1000 CAN controller working at 16Mhz, which supports CAN2.0B.
82C251 High Speed CAN transceiver 1Mbit (ISO-11898).
CAN controller can be interrupt driven (INT0).
SP202 RS-232 transceiver from SIPEX which together with the AVR can send/receive up to 115kbit.
MAX825M Reset circuit, the normal RESET and inverted RESET is on external pins.
No interpreted software, it's programmed with compilers.
Posibilities to implement higher level protocols, such as CANopen, DeviceNet etc.

* Current consumption for CAN tranceiver varies with how many nodes are attached, but at least 70mA should be calculated.
