SPI to CAN FD Controller Module with Transceiver, MCP2518FD ATA6560, Replaces MCP2515

SPI to CAN FD Conversion Module This compact module provides a straightforward way to add CAN FD connectivity to microcontroller-based systems. Built around the MCP2518FD controller core and equipped with an ATA6560 transceiver, it serves as a cost-effective bridge between SPI and CAN FD networks. The module is designed as a practical replacement for older MCP2515-based conversion modules, offering a more modern and capable solution for projects that require higher data throughput. High-Speed Data Handling The module supports arbitration bit rates of up to 1 Mbit/s and data bit rates of up to 8 Mbit/s, making it well suited to applications that demand fast and reliable communication. This level of performance allows the module to keep pace with demanding industrial and automotive networking tasks where timely data exchange is critical. Flexible Buffering and Timing With 31 configurable transmit and receive FIFOs, along with transmit event FIFOs featuring 32-bit timestamps, the module gives you considerable control over data flow. This buffering flexibility helps manage burst traffic and prioritise messages effectively, while the timestamping capability supports precise event logging and synchronisation within your system. Low Power Consumption In sleep mode, the module draws only 15 µA, making it an energy-conscious choice for battery-powered or always-on installations. This low standby current helps minimise overall system power draw without compromising the module's readiness to resume communication when needed. Easy Integration The SPI interface allows the module to be added to microcontroller systems with minimal effort, requiring only a handful of connections. This simplicity, combined with the module's compact form factor, makes it a convenient building block for embedded projects ranging from prototyping through to production.
