NOTE: This Click board™ represents an optimized version of the MCP2518FD Click Board™ with the aim of more efficient hardware, where the controller and transceiver, in this case, can be found in one package.
The MCP251863 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board representing a complete CAN solution used as a control node in a CAN network. This board features the MCP251863, an IC representing a compact solution with a CAN FD controller (MCP2518FD) and a CAN transceiver in one package (ATA6563) from Microchip. A high-speed CAN transceiver provides a physical connection with the CAN bus itself, while the CAN controller represents an interface between the MCU and the CAN transceiver. It features three operating modes with dedicated fail-safe features, remote wake-up via CAN, and ideally passive behavior when powered off on the CAN bus. This Click board™ is suitable for developing a wide range of automotive diagnostic applications, even on MCUs that don’t support the CAN interface.
The MCP251863 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
