The MCP2518FD device is a cost-effective and small-footprint CAN FD controller that can be easily added to a microcontroller with an available SPI interface. A CAN FD channel can be easily added to a microcontroller that is either lacking a CAN FD peripheral or doesn't have enough CAN FD channels. MCP2518FD supports both CAN frames in the Classical format (CAN2.0B) and CAN Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) format, as specified in ISO 11898-1:2015.

This article provides you with a basic overview of the MCP2518FD CAN FD Controller, including its pin descriptions, features and specifications, etc., to help you quickly understand what MCP2518FD is.

◆ General

    ● External CAN FD Controller with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

    ● Arbitration Bit Rate up to 1 Mbps

    ● Data Bit Rate up to 8 Mbps

    ● CAN FD Controller modes

       - Mixed CAN 2.0B and CAN FD Mode

       - CAN 2.0B Mode

    ● Conforms to ISO 11898-1:2015

◆ Message FIFOs

    ● 31 FIFOs, configurable as Transmit or Receive FIFOs

    ● One Transmit Queue (TXQ)

    ● Transmit Event FIFO (TEF) with 32 bit time stamp

◆ Message Transmission

    ● Message transmission prioritization:

       - Based on priority bit field

       - Message with lowest ID gets transmitted first using the Transmit Queue (TXQ)

    ● Programmable automatic retransmission attempts: unlimited, 3 attempts or disabled

◆ Message Reception

    ● 32 Flexible Filter and Mask Objects

    ● Each object can be configured to filter either:

       - Standard ID + first 18 data bits, or

       - Extended ID

    ● 32-bit Time Stamp

◆ Special Features

    ● V_DD: 2.7 to 5.5V

    ● Active Current: maximum 20 mA at 5.5 V, 40 MHz CAN clock

    ● Sleep Current: 15 μA, typical

    ● Low Power Mode current: maximum 10 μA from –40°C to 150°C

    ● Message Objects are located in RAM: 2 KB

    ● Up to 3 Configurable Interrupt Pins

    ● Bus Health Diagnostics and Error Counters

    ● Transceiver Standby Control

    ● Start of frame pin for indicating the beginning of messages on the bus

    ● Temperature Ranges:

       - Extended (E): –40°C to +125°C

       - High (H): –40°C to +150°C

◆ Oscillator Options

    ● 40, 20 or 4 MHz Crystal or Ceramic Resonator; External Clock Input

    ● Clock Output with Prescaler 

◆ SPI Interface

    ● Up to 20 MHz SPI clock speed

    ● Supports SPI Modes 0,0 and 1,1

    ● Registers and bit fields are arranged in a way to enable efficient access through SPI

◆ Safety Critical Systems

    ● SPI commands with CRC to detect noise on SPI interface

    ● Error Correction Code (ECC) protected RAM
