Abstract

The TCAN28xx and TCAN24xx family of mid-range SBCs, are a great choice for many automotive applications. As with many SBC’s there is a lot of variance in the potential configurations of the device that can be implemented through user configurable registers. This application note aims to explain how to communicate with the SBC’s through a SPI, the register structure of the device, suggested firmware implementations, and finally an illustration of some more complex device configuration options.
