MCP2515

Stand-Alone CAN Controller with SPI Interface

Microchip Technology’s MCP2515 is a stand-alone Controller Area Network (CAN) controller that implements the CAN specification, version 2.0B. It is capable of transmitting and receiving both standard and extended data and remote frames. The MCP2515 has two acceptance masks and six acceptance filters that are used to filter out unwanted messages, thereby reducing the host MCU’s overhead. The MCP2515 CAN Controller interfaces with microcontrollers (MCUs) via an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).

Features :

• 18-pin package

• Simple SPI interface to any MCU

• One-shot mode ensures message transmission is attempted only once

• Databyte filtering

• Start-of-Frame (SOF) output

• Low-power CMOS Technology
