Description

The MCP2510 18-pin stand-alone CAN (Control Area Network) controller features an industry standard SPI serial interface, enabling an easy connection to virtually any microcontroller. The MCP2510 provides immediate CAN support across the entire breadth of Microchip's 100+ PICmicro? microcontrollers, providing a seamless migration path and maximum design flexibility for CAN designs. The MCP2510 contains on-board features, such as interrupt capability, message masking and filtering, message prioritization, multi-purpose I/O pins, and multiple transmit/receive buffers which significantly offload the microcontroller overhead required to handle CAN message traffic. Applications for the MCP2510 include motor control, smoke detectors, CO detectors, sensors, meters, automotive electronics, climate control and instrument clusters.

The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP2510 is a Full Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol controller implementing CAN specification V2.0 A/B. It supports CAN 1.2, CAN 2.0A, CAN 2.0B Passive, and CAN 2.0B Active versions of the protocol, and is capable of transmitting and receiving standard and extended messages. MCP2510 is also capable of both acceptance filtering and message management. It includes three transmit buffers and two receive buffers that reduce the amount of microcontroller (MCU) management required. The MCU communication of MCP2510 is implemented via an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with data rates up to 5Mb/s.
