DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP2551 is a high-speed CAN, fault-tolerant device that serves as the interface between a CAN protocol controller and the physical bus. The MCP2551 device provides differential transmit and receive capability for the CAN protocol controller, and is fully compatible with the ISO-11898 standard, including 24V requirements. It will operate at speeds of up to 1 Mb/s.

Features
• Supports 1 Mb/s operation
• Implements ISO-11898 standard physical layer
   requirements
• Suitable for 12V and 24V systems
• Externally-controlled slope for reduced RFI
   emissions
• Detection of ground fault (permanent Dominant)
   on TXD input
• Power-on Reset and voltage brown-out protection
• An unpowered node or brown-out event will not
   disturb the CAN bus
• Low current standby operation
• Protection against damage due to short-circuit
   conditions (positive or negative battery voltage)
• Protection against high-voltage transients
• Automatic thermal shutdown protection
• Up to 112 nodes can be connected
• High-noise immunity due to differential bus
   implementation
• Temperature ranges:
   - Industrial (I): -40°C to +85°C
   - Extended (E): -40°C to +125°C
