Overview

The MCP2562FD is a high-speed CAN FD transceiver that serves as the physical interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical bus. It supports data rates up to 8 Mbps while providing integrated level shifting to interface directly with microcontrollers using I/O voltages from 1.8V to 5.5V.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver features a dedicated Vio pin for internal level shifting, eliminating the need for external level translators when working with low-voltage MCUs. It also includes comprehensive protection features such as permanent dominant detection on TXD and the bus, thermal shutdown, and high ESD protection on the CANH and CANL lines.

Applications

Automotive ECU Networking
Used in 12V and 24V vehicle systems to enable communication between engine control units and body electronics using CAN FD.
Industrial Automation
Facilitates robust data exchange in factory automation environments where high electromagnetic noise resistance is required.
Distributed Control Systems
Integrates into sensors and actuators that require high-speed CAN FD throughput for real-time feedback loops.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, designers often use the MCP2562FD Click board or the CAN FD Splice Board from Microchip. Ensure the VDD pin is supplied with 4.5V to 5.5V while the Vio pin matches your microcontroller digital I/O voltage for proper signal translation.
