The MCP2561/2 is a high-speed CAN, fault-tolerant
device that serves as the interface between a CAN
protocol controller and the physical bus. The
MCP2561/2 device provides differential transmit and
receive capability for the CAN protocol controller, and
is fully compatible with the ISO-11898-5 standard. It will
operate at speeds of up to 1 Mb/s.
Typically, each node in a CAN system must have a
device to convert the digital signals generated by a
CAN controller to signals suitable for transmission over
the bus cabling (differential output). It also provides a
buffer between the CAN controller and the high-voltage
spikes that can be generated on the CAN bus by
outside sources.
