Overview

The MCP2544FDT-E/SN is a high-speed CAN FD transceiver from Microchip designed for data rates up to 8Mbps. It serves as the physical interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus, providing differential transmit and receive capability. This device is optimized for automotive and industrial applications requiring high-speed communication and low power consumption in standby mode.

Why Choose This Part

The transceiver supports high-speed CAN FD operation up to 8Mbps while maintaining a very low standby current of typically 4uA. It features a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is rated for extended temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Applications

Automotive In-Vehicle Networks
Used in body electronics and powertrain systems that require high bandwidth via CAN FD protocols.
Industrial Automation
Facilitates robust communication between PLCs, sensors, and actuators in noisy factory environments.
Battery Management Systems
Provides the communication link between battery cell monitors and the central management unit in EV/HEV applications.

Getting Started

To evaluate this transceiver, use it alongside a CAN FD-capable microcontroller like the PIC18FxxQ84 or a dedicated controller like the MCP2518FD. Connect the TXD and RXD pins to the MCU and ensure a 120-ohm termination resistor is present at both ends of the CAN bus. Evaluation boards such as the ADM00667 can be used to jump-start hardware prototyping.
