The MCP25625T-E/ML transceiver is designed to interface with a microcontroller and provide a reliable CAN bus communication interface. It works by sending and receiving differential signals on the CAN bus, typically at a high speed (up to 1 Mbps). The differential signal transmission ensures robustness and reliability even in electrically noisy environments.
The MCP25625T-E/ML uses the CANH (high) and CANL (low) lines to communicate with other devices on the CAN bus. The transmitter (TXD) sends data to the CANH line, while the receiver (RXD) monitors the CANL line for incoming data. The SLP (Sleep) pin controls whether the device operates in normal mode or enters a low-power sleep state when not in use.
