MCP2510-E/P

The Microchip Technology MCP2510-E/P is a full CAN V2.0A and V2.0B protocol controller. It implements CAN specification V2.0 A/B and supports CAN 1.2, CAN 2.0A, CAN 2.0B Passive, and CAN 2.0B Active versions. This controller is capable of transmitting and receiving standard and extended messages, with features for acceptance filtering and message management.

Key hardware features include a high-speed SPI interface supporting data rates up to 5 Mb/s, with selectable SPI modes. It operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply voltage and is rated for an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device offers low power consumption with a typical active current of 5 mA and a standby current of 10 µA at 5.5V.

This controller is available in an 18-pin PDIP package. It includes three transmit buffers and two receive buffers to reduce microcontroller management. The MCP2510 is suitable for applications requiring robust CAN communication, such as automotive systems, industrial automation, and embedded control.

It supports programmable bit rates up to 1 Mb/s and includes features like loop-back mode for self-test operation. The device also provides an interrupt output pin with selectable enables and configurable buffer full output pins.
