Bit Timing
Each node in a CAN network has its own clock, and no clock is sent during data transmission. Synchronization is done by dividing each bit of the frame into a number of segments: synchronization, propagation, phase 1 and phase 2. The length of each phase segment can be adjusted based on network and node conditions. The sample point falls between phase buffer segment 1 and phase buffer segment 2, which helps facilitate continuous synchronization. Continuous synchronization in turn enables the receiver to be able to properly read the messages.

Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or timing:
“One has to completely humiliate oneself to be what the Beatles were, and thats what I resent. I didnt know, I didnt foresee. It happened bit by bit, gradually, until this complete craziness is surrounding you, and youre doing exactly what you dont want to do with people you cant standthe people you hated when you were ten.”
—John Lennon (19401980)
“Is it a new spring star
Within the timing chill,
Talking, or just a mime,
That rises in the blood
Thin Jack-and-Jilling seas
Without the human will?”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
