MCHPMCP2517FD

Overview

The MCP2517FD-H/SL is a stand-alone CAN Flexible Data rate (CAN FD) controller that connects to microcontrollers via a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It allows systems without an integrated CAN FD peripheral to interface with modern automotive and industrial networks while supporting bit rates up to 8 Mbps. This high-temperature variant is designed for harsh environments, operating reliably up to 150 degrees Celsius.

Why Choose This Part

This controller features 2 KB of RAM protected by Error Correction Code (ECC) to prevent soft errors and ensure system reliability. It includes a built-in DMA and CRC for efficient data handling, significantly reducing the interrupt overhead on the host microcontroller.

Applications

Getting Started

To begin development, use the ADM00871 MCP2517FD CAN FD Motherboard or the Clicker 2 for MCP2517FD development board. Integration requires an SPI driver and a CAN transceiver, such as the MCP2562FD, to interface with the physical bus. Microchip provides a C-based peripheral library to assist with register configuration and message buffer management.
