MCHPMCP2562-E/MF

Overview

The MCP2562-E/MF is a high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) transceiver from Microchip Technology that implements the physical layer between a CAN protocol controller and the differential CAN bus. It translates logic-level TX/RX signals to differential bus signals and includes the protection features commonly found in CAN transceivers to improve robustness in noisy environments.

Why Choose This Part

Choose this part when you need a proven, standards-oriented CAN physical-layer device that directly interfaces with CAN controllers on microcontrollers or SoCs. Its integrated protection features reduce the need for extra discrete protection components, and being a Microchip device means broad documentation, reference schematics, and ecosystem support for rapid integration.

Applications

Getting Started

There are no dedicated 'development boards' for a transceiver; pair the MCP2562-E/MF with a microcontroller or evaluation board that has a CAN controller. Follow the reference schematic in the datasheet, place 120 ohm termination resistors at each end of the CAN bus, and use an oscilloscope and CAN analyzer to verify differential signals and bus traffic. For Microchip MCU projects, use MPLAB X and Microchip's CAN libraries or middleware to exercise the controller side.
