MCP2510-I/SO CAN Bus Controller Interface IC

Description

The Microchip MCP2510 is a CAN protocol controller that fully supports CAN versions 2.0A and 2.0B at a 1 MB/s data rate. It handles a range of message types, including standard and extended data frames, and features two receive buffers with prioritized message storage. The device also provides multiple acceptance filters, three transmit buffers with prioritization and abort capabilities, and supports self-testing through a loop-back mode.

It uses a high-speed SPI interface, has a low-power sleep mode, and is suitable for a range of temperature environments. The MCP2510 effectively manages CAN communication, reducing the level of microcontroller (MCU) involvement required and offering efficient data transmission with data rates up to 5 MB/s.
