MCP2542FDT in Microchip MCP2515 CAN Family
The MCP2542FDT family from Microchip Technology consists of high-speed CAN Flexible Data-rate (CAN FD) transceivers designed to interface a CAN protocol controller with the physical two-wire bus. These devices support data rates up to 8 Mbps, facilitating high-bandwidth communication in complex electronic environments. They serve as the physical layer link, providing differential transmit and receive capability while meeting automotive requirements for low quiescent current, electromagnetic compatibility, and robust ESD protection in demanding industrial and vehicular networks.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Comparing specs that differ across variants.
| Part Number | Package | Stock |
|---|---|---|
| MCP2542FDT-E/SN (Microchip Technology) | SOIC-8 | 8,883 |
| MCP2542FDT-E/MNY (Microchip Technology) | WFDFN-8 | 5,791 |
Variants within the MCP2542FDT sub-family primarily differ based on their physical packaging and temperature grading. The -E/SN suffix denotes a standard 8-lead SOIC package suited for surface mount assembly, while the -E/MNY suffix indicates a 2x3 TDFN package for space-constrained designs. All members are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use, typically supporting extended temperature ranges from -40C to +125C.
