The MCP25625-E/SS is a CAN Controller with integrated transceiver. It can be easily added to a microcontroller with an available SPI interface. The MCP25625 interfaces directly with microcontrollers operating at 2.7 to 5.5V, there are no external level shifters required. In addition, the controller connects directly to the physical CAN bus, supporting all requirements for CAN high-speed transceivers. It meets the automotive requirements for high-speed (up to 1Mb/s), low quiescent current, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). The CAN controller has an internal Sleep mode that is used to minimize the current consumption of the device. The SPI interface remains active for reading even when the controller is in Sleep mode, allowing access to all registers. Sleep mode is selected via the REQOP bits in the CANCTRL register. The OPMOD bits in the CANSTAT register indicate the operation mode.
