DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP2561/2 is a high-speed CAN, fault-tolerant
device that serves as the interface between a CAN
protocol controller and the physical bus. The
MCP2561/2 device provides differential transmit and
receive capability for the CAN protocol controller, and
is fully compatible with the ISO-11898-2 and
ISO-11898-5 standards. It will operate at speeds of up
to 1 Mb/s.
Typically, each node in a CAN system must have a
device to convert the digital signals generated by a
CAN controller to signals suitable for transmission over
the bus cabling (differential output). It also provides a
buffer between the CAN controller and the high-voltage
spikes that can be generated on the CAN bus by
outside sources.
1.1
Mode Control Block
The MCP2561/2 supports two modes of operation:
• Normal
• Standby
These modes are summarized in
Table 1-1
.
1.1.1
NORMAL MODE
Normal mode is selected by applying a low-level to the
STBY pin. The driver block is operational and can drive
the bus pins. The slopes of the output signals on CANH
and CANL are optimized to produce minimal
electromagnetic emissions (EME).
The high-speed differential receiver is active.
1.1.2
STANDBY MODE
The device may be placed in Standby mode by
applying a high-level to the STBY pin. In Standby
mode, the transmitter and the high-speed part of the
receiver are switched off to minimize power
consumption. The low-power receiver and the wake-up
filter blocks are enabled in order to monitor the bus for
activity. The receive pin (R
XD
) will show a delayed
representation of the CAN bus, due to the wake-up
filter.
The CAN controller gets interrupted by a negative edge
on the R
XD
pin (dominant state on the CAN bus). The
CAN controller must put the MCP2561/2 back into
Normal mode using the STBY pin, in order to enable
high-speed data communication.
The CAN bus wake-up function requires both supply
voltages, V
DD
and V
IO
, to be in valid range.
1.2
Transmitter Function
The CAN bus has two states: Dominant and
Recessive. A Dominant state occurs when the
differential voltage between CANH and CANL is
greater than V
DIFF
(
D
)(
I
). A Recessive state occurs
when the differential voltage is less than V
DIFF
(
R
)(
I
).
The Dominant and Recessive states correspond to the
Low and High state of the T
XD
input pin, respectively.
However, a Dominant state initiated by another CAN
node will override a Recessive state on the CAN bus.
1.3
Receiver Function
In Normal mode, the R
XD
output pin reflects the differ-
ential bus voltage between CANH and CANL. The Low
and High states of the R
XD
output pin correspond to the
Dominant and Recessive states of the CAN bus,
respectively.
1.4
Internal Protection
CANH and CANL are protected against battery short-
circuits and electrical transients that can occur on the
CAN bus. This feature prevents destruction of the
transmitter output stage during such a Fault condition.
The device is further protected from excessive current
loading by thermal shutdown circuitry that disables the
output drivers when the junction temperature exceeds
a nominal limit of +175°C. All other parts of the chip
remain operational, and the chip temperature is low-
ered due to the decreased power dissipation in the
transmitter outputs. This protection is essential to
protect against bus line short-circuit-induced damage.

1.5
Permanent Dominant Detection
The MCP2561/2 device prevents two conditions:
• Permanent dominant condition on T
XD
• Permanent dominant condition on the bus
In Normal mode, if the MCP2561/2 detects an
extended Low state on the T
XD
input, it will disable the
CANH and CANL output drivers in order to prevent the
corruption of data on the CAN bus. The drivers will
remain disabled until T
XD
goes High.
In Standby mode, if the MCP2561/2 detects an
extended dominant condition on the bus, it will set the
R
XD
pin to Recessive state. This allows the attached
controller to go to Low-Power mode until the dominant
issue is corrected. R
XD
is latched High until a
Recessive state is detected on the bus, and the
wake-up function is enabled again.
Both conditions have a time-out of 1.25 ms (typical).
This implies a maximum bit time of 69.44 µs
(14.4 kHz), allowing up to 18 consecutive dominant bits
on the bus.
1.6
Power-On Reset (POR) and
Undervoltage Detection
The MCP2561/2 has undervoltage detection on both
supply pins: V
DD
and V
IO
. Typical undervoltage
thresholds are 1.2V for V
IO
and 4V for V
DD
.
When the device is powered on, CANH and CANL
remain in a high-impedance state until both V
DD
and
V
IO
exceed their undervoltage levels. Once powered
on, CANH and CANL will enter a high-impedance state
if the voltage level at V
DD
drops below the undervoltage
level, providing voltage brown-out protection during
normal operation.
In Normal mode, the receiver output is forced to
Recessive state during an undervoltage condition on
V
DD
. In Standby mode, the low-power receiver is only
enabled when both V
DD
and V
IO
supply voltages rise
above their respective undervoltage thresholds. Once
these threshold voltages are reached, the low-power
receiver is no longer controlled by the POR comparator
and remains operational down to about 2.5V on the
V
DD
supply (MCP2561/2). The MCP2562 transfers
data to the R
XD
pin down to 1.8V on the V
IO
supply.

1.7.1
TRANSMITTER DATA
INPUT PIN (T
XD
)
The CAN transceiver drives the differential output pins
CANH and CANL according to T
XD
. It is usually
connected to the transmitter data output of the CAN
controller device. When T
XD
is Low, CANH and CANL
are in the Dominant state. When T
XD
is High, CANH
and CANL are in the Recessive state, provided that
another CAN node is not driving the CAN bus with a
Dominant state. T
XD
is connected to an internal pull-up
resistor (nominal 33 k
) to V
DD
or V
IO
, in the MCP2561
or MCP2562, respectively.
1.7.2
GROUND SUPPLY PIN (V
SS
)
Ground supply pin.
1.7.3
SUPPLY VOLTAGE PIN (V
DD
)
Positive supply voltage pin. Supplies transmitter and
receiver, including the wake-up receiver.
1.7.4
RECEIVER DATA
OUTPUT PIN (R
XD
)
R
XD
is a CMOS-compatible output that drives High or
Low depending on the differential signals on the CANH
and CANL pins, and is usually connected to the
receiver data input of the CAN controller device. R
XD
is
High when the CAN bus is Recessive, and Low in the
Dominant state. R
XD
is supplied by V
DD
or V
IO
, in the
MCP2561 or MCP2562, respectively.
1.7.5
SPLIT PIN (MCP2561 ONLY)
Reference Voltage Output (defined as V
DD
/2). The pin
is only active in Normal mode. In Standby mode, or
when V
DD
is off, SPLIT floats.
1.7.6
V
IO
PIN (MCP2562 ONLY)
Supply for digital I/O pins. In the MCP2561, the supply
for the digital I/O (T
XD
, R
XD
and STBY) is internally
connected to V
DD
.
1.7.7
CAN LOW PIN (CANL)
The CANL output drives the Low side of the CAN
differential bus. This pin is also tied internally to the
receive input comparator. CANL disconnects from the
bus when MCP2561/2 is not powered.
1.7.8
CAN HIGH PIN (CANH)
The CANH output drives the high-side of the CAN
differential bus. This pin is also tied internally to the
receive input comparator. CANH disconnects from the
bus when MCP2561/2 is not powered.
1.7.9
STANDBY MODE INPUT PIN (STBY)
This pin selects between Normal or Standby mode. In
Standby mode, the transmitter, high speed receiver and
SPLIT are turned off, only the low power receiver and
wake-up filter are active. STBY is connected to an
internal MOS pull-up resistor to V
DD
or V
IO
, in the
MCP2561 or MCP2562, respectively. The value of the
MOS pull-up resistor depends on the supply voltage.
Typical values are 660 k
for 5V, 1.1 M for 3.3V and
4.4 M
for 1.8V

Characterized; not 100% tested.
2:
Only MCP2562 has V

IO
is internally connected to V

.
3:
-12V to 12V is ensured by characterization, tested from -2V to 7V.
