ScopeThe SIG develops and maintains the next generation of CAN data link and physical layer, providing an extra large payload, and supporting in the data-phase bit-rates exceeding 8 Mbit/s. Additionally, the SIG develops and maintains related conformance test plans.

ScopeDevelopment of a CAN FD based protocol for price-sensitive sensor and actuator networks including a conformance test plan. Application notes and network design recommendations are also in the scope of this SIG.

ScopeDevelopment of the EMC requirements for CAN transceivers used in CAN XL networks.

ScopeRecommendation of a CAN FD and CAN XL physical layer that works for the given boundary conditions such as e.g. bit rate, topology, cable parameters, transceiver and controller characteristics, etc. This allows system designers to use CAN FD or CAN XL, even if they are not in the position to qualify their networks comprehensively.

ScopeThe SIG develops and maintains 3,3-V transceiver specifications adapted with PMA (physical medium attachment) sub-layer specifications as given in ISO 11898-2. This includes also transceivers with low-power and selective wake-up capabilities. A related conformance test plan, an interoperability test plan and an EMC specification are also in the scope.
