MCHPMCP2562

Overview

The MCP2562 is a high-speed CAN transceiver that provides an interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. It is specifically designed to support the CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) standard with data rates up to 5 Mbps while offering an integrated Vio pin for direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers.

Why Choose This Part

The device features an ultra-low standby current of 5uA and a dedicated Vio pin for level shifting, eliminating the need for external level translators. It includes comprehensive safety features such as permanent dominant detection on TXD and the bus, thermal shutdown, and protection against short-circuit conditions to battery voltages.

Applications

Getting Started

To evaluate this transceiver, use the MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board or connect it to a CAN-capable microcontroller like the PIC18F series. Ensure a 100nF decoupling capacitor is placed near the VDD pin and verify that the Vio pin matches your microcontroller's I/O voltage level (1.8V to 5.5V).

Also Consider

TJA1044 NXP Semiconductors - An alternative high-speed CAN transceiver optimized for 12V automotive applications with excellent electromagnetic compatibility performance.

MCP2561 MCHPMicrochip Technology - Similar performance characteristics but lacks the Vio pin, making it a lower-cost option if level shifting is not required.
