The MCP2551-E/SN is a high-speed CAN, fault-tolerant device that serves as the interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical bus. The MCP2551-E/SN device provides differential transmit and receive capability for the CAN protocol controller, and is fully compatible with the ISO-11898 standard, including 24V requirements. It will operate at speeds of up to 1Mb/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 (EMI, ESD, electrical transients, etc.).

Applications:

1. Communications & Networking
2. Consumer Electronics
3. Aerospace
4. Defense
5. Military
6. Embedded Design & Development
7. Wireless

Features:

1. supports 1Mb/s operation
2. Implements ISO-11898 standard physical layer requirements
3. Suitable for 12V and 24V systems
4. Externally controlled slope for reduced RFI emissions
5. Detection of ground fault (permanent Dominant) on TXD input
6. Power on Reset and voltage brown-out protection
7. An unpowered node or brownout event will not disturb the CAN bus
8. Low current standby operation
9. Protection against damage due to short circuit conditions (positive or negative battery voltage)
10. Protection against high voltage transients
11. Automatic thermal shutdown protection
12. Up to 112 nodes can be connected
13. High noise immunity due to differential bus implementation
