STM32f407 integrated CAN Transceiver

[Azizz]

 

Hi everyone!
I have some questions related to the STM32F407 board and CAN protocol 

• Does the STM32F407 have an integrated CAN transceiver?

  • If yes, how can I identify it in schematics and where can i find the schematics?
  • If no, what external peripheral should I use to integrate one?

• Does the STM32F407 support CAN FD?

• I want to use loopback mode to get started with the CAN protocol, but I don’t know where to begin. How should I proceed?

which board ?

STM32F407VGT6

That's just a chip - not a board.

Surely, the datasheet will tell you whether it has a transceiver, and whether it supports FDCAN ?

No there is no CAN transceiver embedded on any of the STM32 products and I think in any other MCU. So you need to add a CAN transceiver. SN65HVD230 could be used as a CAN transceiver in your case. It's already used in many STM32 ST boards.

No. STM32F407 has bxCAN (CAN2.0). If you need FDCAN (CANFD), you need to use STM32H5 or STM32G4 etc ..

You can inspire from this example provided in CubeF4.

 

Hope that answers all your questions.
