Microchip MCP2515 Stand-Alone CAN Controller with SPI Interface Datasheet
The MCP2515 is a stand‑alone CAN controller that implements CAN V2.0B at 1 Mb/s and communicates with a host MCU via a high‑speed SPI interface (up to 10 MHz). It provides two receive buffers, three transmit buffers, six 29‑bit filters and two 29‑bit masks, plus a programmable clock‑out pin and interrupt outputs.
The device is supplied in 18‑lead PDIP, 20‑lead TSSOP and other packages, operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and supports industrial (‑40 °C to +85 °C) and extended (‑40 °C to +125 °C) temperature ranges. Detailed block diagrams describe the CAN module, control logic, SPI protocol block, and the CAN protocol engine.
