FLEXCAN bitrate

MrShen — Fri, 15 May 2026 09:39:05 GMT

Hello, the MCU uses S32K144 and operates with 5V power supply. Currently configuring CAN communication, CAN0 and CAN2 are enabled.

CAN0 is high-speed CAN (TJA1050) at 500K, CAN2 is low-speed CAN (TJA1055T/3). CAN0 is configured at 500K without issues, CAN0->CTRL1 = 0x00DB0006 is 500K.

Now I want to configure CAN2 at 100K, CAN2->CTRL1 = 0x00CF0033, but other CAN devices cannot receive data.

If the CAN bitrate is set to 100K, what should CAN2->CTRL1 be?

Or is it feasible to set TJA1050 to 100K? I also tried setting CAN0 to 100K but it was unsuccessful.

void FLEXCAN2_init(void)
{
#define MSG_BUF_SIZE 4 /* Msg Buffer Size. (CAN 2.0AB: 2 hdr + 2 data= 4 words) */
uint32_t i=0;

PCC->PCCn[PCC_FlexCAN2_INDEX] |= PCC_PCCn_CGC_MASK; /* CGC=1: enable clock to FlexCAN2 */
CAN2->MCR |= CAN_MCR_MDIS_MASK; /* MDIS=1: Disable module before selecting clock */
CAN2->CTRL1 &= ~CAN_CTRL1_CLKSRC_MASK; /* CLKsrc=0: Clock Source = oscillator (8 MHz) */
CAN2->MCR &= ~CAN_MCR_MDIS_MASK; /* MDIS=0; Enable module config. (Sets FRZ, HALT)*/
while (!((CAN2->MCR & CAN_MCR_FRZACK_MASK) >> CAN_MCR_FRZACK_SHIFT))
{
/*code*/
}
/* Good practice: wait for FRZACK=1 on freeze mode entry/exit */
CAN2->CTRL1 = 0x00CF0033; /* 0x00DB0006 Configure for 500 KHz bit time 0x00DF000F 125Kbps */
/* Time quanta freq = 16 time quanta x 500 KHz bit time= 8MHz */
/* PRESDIV+1 = Fclksrc/Ftq = 8 MHz/8 MHz = 1 */
/* so PRESDIV = 0 */
/* PSEG2 = Phase_Seg2 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 */
/* PSEG1 = PSEG2 = 3 */
/* PROPSEG= Prop_Seg - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6 */

/* SMP = 1: use 3 bits per CAN sample */
/* CLKsrc=0 (unchanged): Fcanclk= Fosc= 8 MHz */

{
CAN2->RAMn[i] = 0; /* Clear msg buf word */
}
for(i=0; i<16; i++ ) /* In FRZ mode, init CAN2 16 msg buf filters */
{

}

/* CODE=4: MB set to RX inactive */
/* IDE=0: Standard ID */
/* SRR, RTR, TIME STAMP = 0: not applicable */

#endif
/* PRIO = 0: CANFD not used */
CAN2->MCR = 0x0000000F; /* Negate FlexCAN2 halt state for 16 MBs */
while ((CAN2->MCR && CAN_MCR_FRZACK_MASK) >> CAN_MCR_FRZACK_SHIFT) {}
/* Good practice: wait for FRZACK to clear (not in freeze mode) */

Hello @MrShen,

You can refer to MPC5xxx/S32Kxx/LPCxxxx: CAN / CAN FD bit timing calculation document. Simply modify the parameters for your setup (e.g. S32K1xx, TJA1050, bitrate + sampling point, etc.), and the tool will provide some configurations for the respective bitrate, along with CAN_CTRL1 values:

I believe it is feasible to set both transceivers to 100kbps, as TJA1055 supports up to 125kbps.

Best regards,
Julián
