Product description
Module designed for CAN communication. It combines an MCP2515 CAN controller and a TJA1050 transceiver to enable communication over the CAN bus (version 2.0B). The module is commonly used in embedded systems where a microcontroller needs to connect to a CAN network. It allows a microcontroller to communicate on the CAN bus by controlling the MCP2515 via SPI, while the TJA1050 handles the physical level conversion to differential signals. The built-in 120-ohm termination allows the module to be placed at the end of a CAN line to maintain proper signal integrity over longer distances.
