MCP2557FD-H

Microchip Tech · CAN ICs · SOIC-8

MCP2557FD-H from Microchip Tech, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 TXD input Transmit data input from the CAN controller; Low drives CANH/CANL Dominant, High is Recessive, with an internal nominal 33 kΩ pull-up to VDD.
2 VSS power_in Ground supply pin.
3 VDD power_in Positive supply voltage pin that supplies the transmitter and receiver (and the digital I/O in the MCP2557FD).
4 RXD output CMOS-compatible receive data output, High when the bus is Recessive and Low when Dominant, driven to VDD and requiring a 5V tolerant MCU input.
5 NC unconnected No Connect; this pin can be left open or connected to VSS.
6 CANL bidirectional CAN Low-level voltage I/O that drives the low side of the differential bus and disconnects from the bus when the device is unpowered.
7 CANH bidirectional CAN High-level voltage I/O that drives the high side of the differential bus and disconnects from the bus when the device is unpowered.
8 S input Silent mode input selecting Normal or Silent mode (transmitter off, receiver active), with an internal MOS pull-up to VDD of typically 660 kΩ at 5V.
