Microchip Technology's MCP2517FD is a cost-effective and small-footprint external CAN FD controller that can be easily added to a microcontroller with an available serial peripheral interface (SPI). Therefore, a CAN FD channel can be easily added to a microcontroller that is either lacking a CAN FD peripheral or that does not have enough CAN FD channels. The MCP2517FD supports both CAN frames in the classical format (CAN 2.0B) and CAN flexible data rate (CAN FD) format as specified in ISO11898-1:2015. The MCP2517FD controller is ideal for any embedded IoT application.
