Overview

The MCP2515DM-PTPLS is an evaluation board designed to interface with Microchip Explorer 16 development platforms via the PICtail Plus connector. It provides a complete hardware implementation of a CAN node, featuring the MCP2515 stand-alone CAN controller and the MCP2551 CAN transceiver.

Why Choose This Part

The board simplifies hardware design by integrating both the controller and transceiver with necessary termination circuitry. It utilizes a standard SPI interface, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers that lack integrated CAN peripherals.

Applications

Automotive Networking Prototyping
Rapidly develop and test CAN 2.0B network nodes for vehicle bus simulation and monitoring.
Industrial Control Systems
Implementation of CAN-based communication protocols like DeviceNet or CANopen in industrial automation environments.
Embedded System Interfacing
Adding CAN connectivity to existing PIC24, dsPIC, or PIC32 development systems through a standard SPI interface.

Getting Started

Plug the daughter board into an Explorer 16/32 Development Board's PICtail Plus slot. Use Microchip's MPLAB X IDE and the MCC (MPLAB Code Configurator) to generate the SPI drivers and CAN message handling firmware.
