Overview

The MCP2562-E/SN is a high-speed CAN transceiver that provides an interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. It features a dedicated VIO pin for direct interfacing with microcontrollers operating from 1.8V to 5.5V without needing external level shifters. This device is designed for high-speed CAN FD applications and offers very low standby current consumption of 1 uA.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of a VIO pin simplifies designs by supporting digital logic levels as low as 1.8V, making it compatible with modern low-voltage MCUs and FPGAs. It offers high electromagnetic immunity and low electromagnetic emission, along with protection against short circuits and thermal overload.

Applications

Automotive ECU Communication
Acts as the physical layer interface for vehicle control modules requiring robust differential signaling.
Industrial Automation
Used in factory floor networking and PLC communication systems where noise immunity is critical.
Low-Power Remote Nodes
Ideal for battery-powered sensors that spend most of their time in standby mode to conserve energy.
Robotic Control Systems
Facilitates reliable communication between motor controllers and central processing units in noisy environments.

Getting Started

Connect the TXD and RXD pins to your microcontroller's CAN controller and the CANH/CANL pins to the bus. Ensure a 120-ohm termination resistor is present at both ends of the CAN bus. For evaluation, Microchip offers several CAN development boards and the MCP2562 can be prototyped using a standard 8-SOIC to DIP adapter.
