Frequently Asked Questions
What maximum data rate does MCP2551-E/P support and which CAN standard does it comply with?
MCP2551-E/P supports a maximum data rate of 1 Mbps and complies with the ISO 11898 CAN standard, making it compatible with high-speed CAN networks in automotive and industrial applications requiring reliable differential bus communication.
How does the slope-control feature of MCP2551-E/P help reduce EMI in a CAN network wiring harness?
The slope-control input on MCP2551-E/P allows the user to set the output slew rate by connecting a resistor to the RS pin, reducing EMI emissions on the 2-wire differential bus while still meeting timing requirements at data rates from 10 kbps to 1 Mbps.
Can MCP2551-E/P be used in a 3.3 V microcontroller system, and what supply voltage does it require?
MCP2551-E/P requires a 5 V supply for the CAN bus transceiver section, but its TX and RX logic pins are compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller I/O levels with a simple level-shifting scheme, enabling integration in mixed-voltage embedded designs.
How many CAN nodes can be connected to a single MCP2551-E/P bus, and what termination is required?
Up to 112 CAN nodes can share a single MCP2551-E/P bus segment. The bus requires 120 Ω termination resistors at each end of the differential cable to minimize reflections at data rates approaching 1 Mbps over longer cable lengths.
