Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Single Wire CAN Click is based on the NCV7356, a Single Wire CAN transceiver from ON Semiconductor, which operates from a supply voltage from 5V to 27V with a bus speed up to 40 kbps. It can access several modes such as Normal Mode with reduced dominant output voltage and reduced receiver input voltage, High-Speed, High Voltage Wake-Up, or Sleep Mode. The transmission bit rate in Normal communication is 33 Kbits/s, while a typical bit rate of 83 kbit/s is recommended for High-Speed communication. In Normal Transmission Mode, the Single Wire CAN Click supports controlled waveform rise and overshoot times, while the High−Speed Mode is only intended to be operational when the bus is attached to an off−board service node. The Single Wire CAN bus pin CANH comprises a pull−up
amplifier for driving this Click board™. The minimum output driver capability is 50 mA, but output shorts to the ground can reach 350 mA. Normal CANH output voltage is between 4.4 V and 5.1 V. These amplitudes increase to 9.9 V and 12.5 V for system selection in Wake−Up Mode. The bus Wake−Up from Sleep Input Voltage Threshold is between 6.6 V and 7.9 V, but to maintain normal communication, the threshold is 2.1 V. The CANH pin can also act as a bus read amplifier. The NCV7356D1R2G communicates with MCU using the UART interface at 9600 bps with commonly used UART RX and TX pins. It possesses additional functionality such as Operational Mode Selection MODE 0 and MODE 1 routed at RST and CS pins of the mikroBUS™, on whose selected logical states one of the four possible operational modes can be
selected. The transceiver provides a weak internal pulldown current on each of these pins, which causes the transceiver, on default, to enter sleep mode when not driven. Single Wire CAN Click can also re-enter the Sleep Mode if there is no mode change within typically 250 ms. This Click board™ communicates with MCU using the UART interface for the data transfer. The onboard SMD jumper labeled VCC SEL allows logic level voltage selection for interfacing with 3.3V and 5V MCUs. More information about the NCV7356D1R2G’s functionality, electrical specifications, and typical performance can be found in the attached datasheet. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy-to-use functions and a usage example that may be used as a reference for the development.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for ARM v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for ARM v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any
circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for ARM v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for ARM v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
After pressing the "FLASH" button on the left-side panel, it is necessary to open the UART terminal to display the achieved results. By clicking on the Tools icon in the right-hand panel, multiple different functions are displayed, among which is the UART Terminal. Click on the offered "UART Terminal" icon.
![UART Application Output Step 1](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-40a0-6b58-88de-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-1.jpg)
Once the UART terminal is opened, the window takes on a new form. At the top of the tab are two buttons, one for adjusting the parameters of the UART terminal and the other for connecting the UART terminal. The tab's lower part is reserved for displaying the achieved results. Before connecting, the terminal has a Disconnected status, indicating that the terminal is not yet active. Before connecting, it is necessary to check the set parameters of the UART terminal. Click on the "OPTIONS" button.
![UART Application Output Step 2](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-eb29-62fa-ba91-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-2.jpg)
In the newly opened UART Terminal Options field, we check if the terminal settings are correct, such as the set port and the Baud rate of UART communication. If the data is not displayed properly, it is possible that the Baud rate value is not set correctly and needs to be adjusted to 115200. If all the parameters are set correctly, click on "CONFIGURE".
![UART Application Output Step 3](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703b-7543-6fbc-9c69-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-3.jpg)
The next step is to click on the "CONNECT" button, after which the terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.

*
* ## Application Task
* Depending on the selected mode, it reads all the received data or sends the desired message
* every 2 seconds.
