MCHPMCP25625-E/ML

Overview

The MCP25625-E/ML is a Microchip standalone CAN controller with an integrated CAN transceiver, intended to connect microcontrollers to a CAN bus using an SPI host interface. It combines the protocol controller and physical-layer transceiver in a single package to simplify board design. The device is suitable for automotive and industrial CAN networking applications.

Why Choose This Part

An integrated controller-plus-transceiver reduces BOM count and board space compared with separate devices and shortens PCB routing for the CAN physical layer. Using an SPI host interface offloads CAN protocol handling from the host MCU and makes the part easy to add to existing SPI-capable designs. Microchip device documentation and ecosystem support simplify software integration and debugging.

Applications

Getting Started

Connect the MCP25625 to any microcontroller that provides an SPI master interface and implement or reuse a CAN driver for the controller registers. Use Microchip's documentation and application notes and a PC-based CAN analyzer (for example, PCAN-USB or similar) to monitor bus traffic during bring-up. Observe proper CAN bus termination (typically 120 ohm at each end) and follow the datasheet recommendations for decoupling and layout.
