IC/Module: MCP2551 CAN Transceiver.
The MCP2551 is a high-speed CAN transceiver that serves as an interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical bus. This fault-tolerant device provides differential transmit and receive capability for the CAN protocol controller. Fully compatible with the ISO-11898 standard, it allows a maximum of 112 nodes to be connected.
CAN Protocol.
The physical layer uses differential transmission on a twisted pair wire while a non-destructive bit-wise arbitration is used to control access to the bus. The protocol is also implemented in silicon, which allows the error handling and fault confinement facilities of CAN to be combined with a high transmission speed.
