The Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial, asynchronous, Multi-master communication protocol forconnecting electronic control modules, sensors and actuators in automotive and industrial applications.With the SJA1000, Philips Semiconductors provides a stand-alone CAN controller which is more than a simpleeplacement of the PCA82C200.Attractive features are implemented for a wide range of applications, supporting system optimization, diagnosisand maintenance.
This application note shows how to write an Inter Integrated Circuit bus driver (I²C) for the Philips P90CL301micro-controller.It is not only an example of writing a driver, but it also includes a set of application interface software routines toquickly implement a complete I²C Multi-master system application.For specific applications the user will have to make minimal changes in the driver program. Using the drivermeans linking modules to your application software and including a header-file into the application sourceprograms. A small example program of how to use the driver is listed.The driver supports i.a. polled or interrupt driven message handling, slave message transfers and Multi-mastersystem applications. Furthermore, it is made suitable for use in conjunction with real time operating systems, likepSOS+.
The Inter IC bus or I2C bus is a simple bidirectional two wire bus designed primarily for general control
and data transfer communication between ICs.
Some of the features of the I2C bus are:
• Two signal lines, a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL), and ground are required. A
12V supply line (500mA max.) for powering the peripherals often may be present.
• Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique address and simple
master/ slave relationships exist at all times masters can operate as master-transmitters or as
master-receivers.
• The I2C bus is a true Multi-master bus including collision detection and arbitration to prevent data
corruption if two or more masters simultaneously initiate data transfer systems.
• Serial, 8-bit oriented, bidirectional data transfers can be made at up to 100 KBit/s in the standard
mode or up to 400 KBit/s in the fast mode.
The PCA9541 is a 2-to-1 I2C-bus master selector designed for high reliability dual masterI2C-bus applications where system operation is required, even when one master fails orthe controller card is removed for maintenance. The two masters (for example, primaryand back-up) are located on separate I2C-buses that connect to the same downstreamI2C-bus slave devices. I2C-bus commands are sent by either I2C-bus master and are usedto select one master at a time. Either master at any time can gain control of the slavedevices if the other master is disabled or removed from the system. The failed master isisolated from the system and will not affect communication between the on-line masterand the slave devices on the downstream I2C-bus.
Abstract: Designers who must interface 1-Wire temperature sensors with Xilinx field-programmable gate arrays(FPGAs) can use this reference design to drive a DS28EA00 1-Wire slave device. The downloadable softwarementioned in this document can also be used as a starting point to connect other 1-Wire slave devices. The systemimplements a 1-Wire master connected to a UART and outputs temperature to a PC from the DS28EA00 temperaturesensor. In addition, high/low alarm outputs are displayed from the DS28EA00 PIO pins using LEDs.
