Cypress Semiconductor introduced a new kit that enables designers to evaluate the controller area network (CAN) and local interconnect network (LIN) slave communication capability of Cypress’s PSoC programmable system-on-chip and flexible microcontroller (MCU) families.
The new CY8CKIT-026 CAN and LIN Shield Kit features two CAN transceivers for high-accuracy, high-speed transmissions, two LIN transceivers and Arduino compatible headers. Additionally, it includes five example projects that demonstrate the CAN and LIN capabilities of PSoC 4. The CAN and LIN protocols are widely used in automotive applications and some industrial applications.
The kit enables designers to quickly create their own projects with easy-to-use CAN and LIN slave components in Cypress’s PSoC Creator integrated design environment (IDE) or by altering code examples provided with this kit. The IDE simplifies system design and accelerates time-to-market by enabling concurrent hardware and firmware design. PSoC Creator works with PSoC Components – free embedded ICs represented by an icon in the IDE – to enable rapid prototyping of end applications while minimising PCB redesigns and firmware changes.
The kit’s Arduino-compatible shield board can be used with Cypress’s CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit and CY8CKIT-044 PSoC 4 M-Series Pioneer Kit. A code example demonstrates how to send and receive data over the CAN bus using a capacitive touch-sensing button implemented with Cypress’s CapSense technology. The status of the button is sent to control LEDs at the CAN receiver. LIN code examples demonstrate the implementation of LIN slave communication in PSoC 4. The LIN component in PSoC 4 supports a LIN slave with both LIN v1.3 and LIN v2.1/2.2 protocol specifications.
