Hardware Overview
How does it work?
CAN FD Click is based on the TLE9252V, a high-speed CAN network transceiver from Infineon. HS CAN is a serial bus system that connects microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators for real-time control applications. The TLE9252V supports Bus Wake-up Pattern (WUP) functionality and Local Wake-up, as well as CAN Flexible data rate transmission up to 5Mbit/s. Additionally, the TLE9252V supports CAN Flexible data rate (CAN FD) transmission up to 5 Mbit/s. The TLE9252V also has an integrated over-temperature detection to protect the TLE9252V against the thermal overstress of the transmitter. The CAN FD Click
supports five different Modes of operation. Each mode has specific characteristics regarding quiescent current, data transmission, or failure diagnostic. The digital input pins EN and STB are used for the mode selection. The HS CAN transceiver TLE9252V includes a receiver and a transmitter unit, allowing the transceiver to send data to the bus medium and simultaneously monitor the data from the bus medium using two wires. The TLE9252V converts the serial data stream, available on the transmit data input TxD, into a differential output signal on the CAN bus provided by the CANH and CANL pins. Given all its
components' features, the CAN FD Click is best used for infotainment applications, cluster modules, radar applications, and HVAC. The onboard SMD jumper labeled the VIO SEL selects which voltage rail will be used as the logic voltage level. It offers voltage selection between 3.3V and 5V so that the click board™ can be interfaced with both the 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs. The two UART wires (RX and TX) can also be connected directly through two pins on the board's left edge. With R5 and R6 jumpers populated allows you to use a click board with a standard 12V battery connected to battery pads at the right side of the board.

Accessories
Click Shield for Arduino Mega comes equipped with four mikroBUS™ sockets, with two in the form of a Shuttle connector, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the Arduino Mega board with no effort. Featuring an AVR 8-bit microcontroller with advanced RISC architecture, 54 digital I/O pins, and Arduino™ compatibility, the Arduino Mega board offers limitless possibilities for prototyping and creating diverse applications. This board is controlled and powered conveniently through a USB connection to program and debug the Arduino Mega board efficiently out of the box, with an additional USB cable connected to the USB B port on the board. Simplify your project development with the integrated ATmega16U2 programmer and unleash creativity using the extensive I/O options and expansion capabilities. There are eight switches, which you can use as inputs, and eight LEDs, which can be used as outputs of the MEGA2560. In addition, the shield features the MCP1501, a high-precision buffered voltage reference from Microchip. This reference is selected by default over the EXT REF jumper at the bottom of the board. You can choose an external one, as you would usually do with an Arduino Mega board. There is also a GND hook for testing purposes. Four additional LEDs are PWR, LED (standard pin D13), RX, and TX LEDs connected to UART1 (mikroBUS™ 1 socket). This Click Shield also has several switches that perform functions such as selecting the logic levels of analog signals on mikroBUS™ sockets and selecting logic voltage levels of the mikroBUS™ sockets themselves. Besides, the user is offered the possibility of using any Click board™ with the help of existing bidirectional level-shifting voltage translators, regardless of whether the Click board™ operates at a 3.3V or 5V logic voltage level. Once you connect the Arduino Mega board with Click Shield for Arduino Mega, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.

* # Description
* This example reads and processes data from CAN FD clicks.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and enables the click board.
*
* ## Application Task
* Depending on the selected mode, it reads all the received data or sends the desired message
* every 2 seconds.
*
* ## Additional Function
* - canfd_process ( ) - The general process of collecting the received data.
