About the CAN-Transceiver-MCP2518-board hardware design

CAN-Transceiver-MCP2518-board hardware design is an open source PCB design by SolderedElectronics, published on GitHub under the TAPR-OHL-1.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 38 × 22 mm, with 20 components from 15 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the SE5218, MCP2518FDT-E/SL and ATA6561-GAQW-N. By type, the board carries 6 capacitors, 3 ICs, 3 relays, 2 jumpers, 2 resistors and 1 crystal.

It belongs with the rf & radio and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for CAN-Transceiver-MCP2518-board designed by Soldered Electronics.

CAN Transceiver (Controller Area Network) is a network technology that enables fast communication between microcontrollers, and is the most commonly used standard in cars. Our CAN breakout uses an MCP2518FD CAN whose communication between microcontrollers takes place on SPI protocol. In addition there is a CAN transceiver. This breakout allows use of both standards (CAN 2.0B and CAN Flexible Data (FD)). Access to the CAN bus is possible via CANH and CANL pins on the screw terminal. The 120ohm terminator resistor is also located on the board and can be connected to a jumper.
