Overview

The MCP2518FD-E/SL is a cost-effective, small-footprint CAN FD controller designed to interface with microcontrollers via a high-speed SPI interface. It allows for the addition of a CAN FD channel to MCUs that either lack a CAN controller or require an additional port, supporting both CAN 2.0B and CAN Flexible Data-Rate (FD) protocols. This device features a 2KB RAM for message buffering and an integrated DMA controller for efficient data handling.

Why Choose This Part

The controller supports a wide 2.7V to 5.5V supply range and features a low-power Sleep mode with a typical current consumption of 15uA. It includes built-in safety features like CRC and ECC, and its 14-SOIC package provides a balance between ease of PCB routing and compact size for space-constrained designs.

Applications

Automotive Body Electronics

Used in lighting control, gateway modules, and door electronics where AEC-Q100 qualification and CAN FD throughput are required.

Industrial Automation

Facilitates robust communication in factory floor equipment and motor control systems requiring high noise immunity.

Agricultural Equipment

Ideal for ISO 11783 (ISOBUS) compliant systems in heavy machinery and off-road vehicles.

Getting Started

To evaluate this controller, engineers often use the MCP2518FD CAN FD Motherboard (ADM00071) along with the MCP2517FD/18FD Click boards. Microchip provides the MCP2518FD CAN FD Controller Library for rapid firmware development, which can be integrated into MPLAB X IDE projects.
