MCP2561FD-E

Microchip Tech · CAN ICs · SOIC-8

MCP2561FD-E 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 pull-up (nominal 33 kΩ) to VDD in the MCP2561FD.
2 VSS power_in Ground supply pin.
3 VDD power_in Positive supply voltage pin that supplies the transmitter and receiver, including the wake-up receiver; undervoltage threshold is typically 4V.
4 RXD output Receive Data Output, CMOS-compatible, High when the CAN bus is Recessive and Low when Dominant, supplied by VDD in the MCP2561FD.
5 SPLIT output Common mode stabilization reference voltage output (VDD/2), active only in Normal mode and floating in Standby mode or when VDD is off.
6 CANL bidirectional CAN Low-level voltage I/O driving the low side of the differential bus, tied internally to the receive comparator and disconnected from the bus when unpowered.
7 CANH bidirectional CAN High-level voltage I/O driving the high side of the differential bus, tied internally to the receive comparator and disconnected from the bus when unpowered.
8 STBY input Standby Mode Input selecting Normal (Low) or Standby (High) mode, with an internal MOS pull-up to VDD (typically 660 kΩ at 5V, 1.1 MΩ at 3.3V, 4.4 MΩ at 1.8V).
