Overview

The MCP2561T-E/MF is a high-speed CAN transceiver that provides the interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. It is designed for high-speed applications up to 1 Mb/s and serves as the differential transceiver for the physical layer, offering excellent EMC performance and high ESD protection.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver features a very low standby current of 5 uA and operates over a wide supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V. It is qualified for extended temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius and includes a VIO pin to interface directly with microcontrollers using 1.8V to 5.5V logic levels.

Applications

Automotive Vehicle Networking
Used in body electronics, chassis control, and powertrain systems requiring robust differential signaling.
Industrial Automation
Facilitates communication in factory floor equipment and PLC networks utilizing CANopen or DeviceNet protocols.
Distributed Control Systems
Reliable data link for distributed sensors and actuators in harsh electrical environments.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, pair it with a Microchip PIC or SAM microcontroller featuring an integrated CAN peripheral. Ensure a 120 ohm termination resistor is present at each end of the CAN bus and place a decoupling capacitor close to the VDD pin on your PCB layout. For rapid prototyping, look for CAN terminal breakout boards or the CAN Bus Analyzer Tool from Microchip.
