Overview
The MCP2518FDT-E/SL is a CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data Rate) controller produced by Microchip Technology. This device is designed to be a cost-effective and small-footprint solution that can easily be integrated with microcontrollers lacking a CAN FD peripheral or additional CAN FD channels. It supports both Classical CAN 2.0B and CAN FD formats, conforming to the ISO 11898-1:2015 standard. The MCP2518FDT-E/SL operates with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and interfaces via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
