Overview

The MCP2562FD-E/MF is a CAN Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) transceiver from Microchip that provides the physical-layer interface between a CAN controller and the CAN bus. It is intended for vehicle and industrial network applications that need the CAN FD protocol. The device translates controller TX/RX signals to the differential bus and vice versa, enabling robust node-to-node communication.

Why Choose This Part

Choose this part when you need a drop-in CAN FD physical-layer device from a major supplier with direct compatibility to CAN controllers. It enables higher payload and flexible data rate operation of CAN FD networks while keeping the interface between controller and bus straightforward. Using a dedicated transceiver reduces board complexity versus discrete implementations and fits standard CAN bus reference designs.

Applications

Automotive in-vehicle networks
Use as the physical-layer transceiver for ECUs, body controllers, gateways and other vehicle subsystems that communicate over CAN FD.
Industrial automation networks
Connect PLCs, motor drives, and distributed IO modules to a CAN FD or mixed CAN bus for deterministic control and diagnostics.
Motor control and drives
Interface motor controllers and inverter control boards to a CAN FD bus for telemetry, commands and synchronization.
Robotics and mobile machines
Provide reliable inter-node communications for sensor fusion, motion control and subsystem coordination in robots and AGVs.
Data logging and gateway devices
Serve as the bus transceiver in devices that capture CAN FD traffic or bridge between CAN and other networks.

Getting Started

This is a transceiver IC rather than a microcontroller: to use it, wire the TX/RX pins to a microcontroller or CAN controller peripheral, place bus termination and protective components per the datasheet reference schematic, and test on a PCB or evaluation carrier with a CAN analyzer or another node. Consult Microchip application notes and reference designs for recommended layout, termination and bus protection practices. Use your MCU toolchain (IDE and CAN drivers) to initialize the CAN controller and exercise bus traffic.
