Microchip Technology MCP25612FD-E/SL CAN FD Transceiver

The MCP25612FD-E/SL is a high-performance CAN (Controller Area Network) transceiver from Microchip Technology, designed to serve as an interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical two-wire CAN bus. This device conforms to the ISO 11898-2:2016 standard and offers a robust connectivity solution for applications requiring high-speed data rates and reliable communication in automotive and industrial environments.

With the enhanced features of the CAN Flexible Data (FD) Rate, the MCP25612FD-E/SL is capable of supporting both standard CAN 2.0 parts and newer CAN FD protocols, which allow for data rates exceeding the classical CAN limits. CAN FD is essential for applications that require higher bandwidth and more data throughput.

The device operates over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for harsh operating conditions. Its extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C ensures reliable performance in automotive-grade applications. The MCP25612FD-E/SL also includes several protection features such as thermal protection, short-circuit protection, and an under-voltage lockout for increased system reliability.

Key features of the MCP25612FD-E/SL include:

• Support for CAN FD for data rates up to 8 Mbps
• ISO 11898-2:2016 compliant
• Low quiescent current
• Transmit Data (TXD) dominant time-out function
• Robust Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection
• Integrated slope control for reduced RFI emissions
• Split-pin VIO support for interfacing with 1.8V to 5V logic levels

The transceiver’s package is the SOIC-8 (SL) form factor, which is widely used and suitable for space-constrained applications. The device's pin compatibility with other Microchip CAN transceivers allows for easy upgrades to existing designs that require higher-speed CAN FD communication.

Overall, the MCP25612FD-E/SL from Microchip Technology is a versatile and robust solution for any design requiring high-speed and reliable CAN communication. Whether it's for automotive, industrial automation, or other demanding applications, this transceiver offers the performance and features needed for efficient and secure data transmission.
