Overview
CAN FD FULL IP Core is a missing gap between CAN FD and CAN XL. It is called “CPU friendly” because it efficiently relieves it through configurable registers and… few additional innovations.
DCD’s CAN FD FULL IP Core is a versatile and adaptable solution for incorporating Controller Area Network (CAN) functionality into various systems. This IP module can be implemented independently, as part of an ASIC, or on an FPGA. It adheres to the ISO11898-1:2015 standard, enabling seamless communication in accordance with popular industry protocols.
This module provides support for both Classical CAN and CAN FD but to establish a physical connection to the CAN bus, external transceiver hardware is required. DCD’s solution utilizes a single or dual-ported Message RAM, which is located outside of the module itself. This storage medium is connected to the CAN FD Full through the Generic Master Interface, facilitating efficient message handling.
Depending on the specific integration chosen, it is possible for multiple controllers to share the same Message RAM, optimizing resource utilization. Furthermore, the Host CPU can easily connect to the CAN FULL IP Core module via the 32-bit Generic Interface, enabling seamless integration and streamlined data exchange.
The IP core is available in two versions – Basic and Safety-Enhanced.
This sophisticated solution’s been developed as ISO26262-10 Safety Element out of Context. It can optionally be improved by necessary safety mechanisms and provide detailed safety documentation: all ISO26262 soft IP SEooC required work products, which include complete Failure Modes Effects and Detection Analysis FMEDA analysis with step by step instruction to help to integrate the IP into the customer’s system and to conduct the system-level safety analysis. All the safety-related work products were checked by a third-party, independent audit.
The conducted safety analysis depicts, that the safety metrics are fulfilled and both IPs reach the Automotive Safety Integrity Level ASIL-B (Single Point Fault Metric SPFM > 90%, Latent Fault Metric LFM > 60%). DCD-SEMI delivers a complete FMEDA analysis with step-by-step instruction to help to integrate the IP into the customer’s system and to conduct the system-level safety analysis.
This ASIL-B ready design may easily be used in Automotive Safety Systems at the ASIL-B level, but DCD-SEMI may optionally deliver higher ASIL level ready IP. For further information and the optional features please contact our support.

Complexity of modern cars is growing rapidly without a doubt. A lot has happened since Ford T and the times when car was just a “fully mechanical” experience. Last few decades prove that safety is crucial. There’s no wonder then, that the safety ecosystem based on proprietary certification is a must. But even the best engineer is not capable of taking care of every single design detail. Everyone makes mistakes.
This article focuses on the most important details of the modern SPI interfaces, which are improved by many useful features. But to start, let us discover the history of the modern SPI interface, because even the old, most basic SPI interfaces are still in use.
D32PRO is one of the newest 32-bit CPUs available on the market. It’s been designed by Digital Core Design, IP Core provider and SoC design house from Poland, responsible e.g. for the world’s fastest or world’s smallest 8051 CPU. DCD launched more than 70 different architectures since 1999, which have been implemented in more than 300 000 000 electronic devices, that’s why one can be sure that quite considerable experience stands behind the D32PRO.
This "How To" tutorial examines the options that are available to designers facing microprocessor (and microcontroller) obsolescence using FPGAs.
