DEVICE OVERVIEW  
The control logic block controls the setup and operation  
of the MCP2515 by interfacing to the other blocks in  
order to pass information and control.  
The MCP2515 is a stand-alone CAN controller  
developed to simplify applications that require  
interfacing with a CAN bus. A simple block diagram of  
the MCP2515 is shown in Figure 1-1. The device  
consists of three main blocks:  
Interrupt pins are provided to allow greater system  
flexibility. There is one multi-purpose interrupt pin (as  
well as specific interrupt pins) for each of the receive  
registers that can be used to indicate a valid message  
has been received and loaded into one of the receive  
buffers. Use of the specific interrupt pins is optional.  
The general purpose interrupt pin, as well as status  
registers (accessed via the SPI interface), can also be  
used to determine when a valid message has been  
received.  
1. The CAN module, which includes the CAN  
protocol engine, masks, filters, transmit and  
receive buffers.  
2. The control logic and registers that are used to  
configure the device and its operation.  
3. The SPI protocol block.  
An example system implementation using the device is  
shown in Figure 1-2.  
Additionally, there are three pins available to initiate  
immediate transmission of a message that has been  
loaded into one of the three transmit registers. Use of  
these pins is optional, as initiating message  
transmissions can also be accomplished by utilizing  
control registers, accessed via the SPI interface.  
1.1  
CAN Module  
The CAN module handles all functions for receiving  
and transmitting messages on the CAN bus. Messages  
are transmitted by first loading the appropriate  
message buffer and control registers. Transmission is  
initiated by using control register bits via the SPI  
interface or by using the transmit enable pins. Status  
and errors can be checked by reading the appropriate  
registers. Any message detected on the CAN bus is  
checked for errors and then matched against the user-  
defined filters to see if it should be moved into one of  
the two receive buffers.  
1.3  
SPI Protocol Block  
The MCU interfaces to the device via the SPI interface.  
Writing to, and reading from, all registers is  
accomplished using standard SPI read and write  
commands, in addition to specialized SPI commands.

1.5.3  
ERROR MANAGEMENT LOGIC  
1.5  
CAN Protocol Engine  
The Error Management Logic (EML) is responsible for  
the fault confinement of the CAN device. Its two  
counters, the Receive Error Counter (REC) and the  
Transmit Error Counter (TEC), are incremented and  
decremented by commands from the bit stream  
processor. Based on the values of the error counters,  
the CAN controller is set into the states error-active,  
error-passive or bus-off.  
The CAN protocol engine combines several functional  
blocks, shown in Figure 1-4 and described below.  
1.5.1  
PROTOCOL FINITE STATE  
MACHINE  
The heart of the engine is the Finite State Machine  
(FSM). The FSM is a sequencer that controls the  
sequential data stream between the TX/RX shift  
register, the CRC register and the bus line. The FSM  
also controls the Error Management Logic (EML) and  
the parallel data stream between the TX/RX shift  
registers and the buffers. The FSM ensures that the  
processes of reception, arbitration, transmission and  
error-signaling are performed according to the CAN  
protocol. The automatic retransmission of messages  
on the bus line is also handled by the FSM.  
1.5.4  
BIT TIMING LOGIC  
The Bit Timing Logic (BTL) monitors the bus line input  
and handles the bus-related bit timing according to the  
CAN protocol. The BTL synchronizes on a recessive-  
to-dominant bus transition at Start-of-Frame (hard  
synchronization) and on any further recessive-to-  
dominant bus line transition if the CAN controller itself  
does not transmit a dominant bit (resynchronization).  
The BTL also provides programmable time segments  
to compensate for the propagation delay time, phase  
shifts and to define the position of the sample point  
within the bit time. The programming of the BTL  
depends on the baud rate and external physical delay  
times.  
1.5.2  
CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK  
The Cyclic Redundancy Check register generates the  
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) code, which is  
transmitted after either the Control Field (for messages  
with 0 data bytes) or the Data Field and is used to  
check the CRC field of incoming messages.

MCP2515  
CAN frame will win arbitration due to the assertion of a  
dominant lDE bit. Also, the SRR bit in an extended  
CAN frame must be recessive to allow the assertion of  
a dominant RTR bit by a node that is sending a  
standard CAN remote frame.  
2.0  
CAN MESSAGE FRAMES  
The MCP2515 supports standard data frames,  
extended data frames and remote frames (standard  
and extended), as defined in the CAN 2.0B  
specification.  
The SRR and lDE bits are followed by the remaining  
18 bits of the identifier (Extended lD) and the remote  
transmission request bit.  
2.1  
Standard Data Frame  
The CAN standard data frame is shown in Figure 2-1.  
As with all other frames, the frame begins with a Start-  
Of-Frame (SOF) bit, which is of the dominant state and  
allows hard synchronization of all nodes.  
To enable standard and extended frames to be sent  
across a shared network, the 29-bit extended message  
identifier is split into 11-bit (Most Significant) and 18-bit  
(Least Significant) sections. This split ensures that the  
lDE bit can remain at the same bit position in both the  
standard and extended frames.  
The SOF is followed by the arbitration field, consisting  
of 12 bits: the 11-bit identifier and the Remote  
Transmission Request (RTR) bit. The RTR bit is used  
to distinguish a data frame (RTR bit dominant) from a  
remote frame (RTR bit recessive).  
Following the arbitration field is the six-bit control field.  
The first two bits of this field are reserved and must be  
dominant. The remaining four bits of the control field  
are the DLC, which specifies the number of data bytes  
contained in the message.  
Following the arbitration field is the control field,  
consisting of six bits. The first bit of this field is the  
Identifier Extension (IDE) bit, which must be dominant  
to specify a standard frame. The following bit, Reserved  
Bit Zero (RB0), is reserved and is defined as a dominant  
bit by the CAN protocol. The remaining four bits of the  
control field are the Data Length Code (DLC), which  
specifies the number of bytes of data (0-8 bytes)  
contained in the message.  
The remaining portion of the frame (data field, CRC  
field,  
acknowledge  
field,  
end-of-frame  
and  
intermission) is constructed in the same way as a  
standard data frame (see Section 2.1 “Standard Data  
Frame”).  
2.3  
Remote Frame  
After the control field, is the data field, which contains  
any data bytes that are being sent, and is of the length  
defined by the DLC (0-8 bytes).  
Normally, data transmission is performed on an  
autonomous basis by the data source node (e.g., a  
sensor sending out a data frame). It is possible,  
however, for a destination node to request data from  
the source. To accomplish this, the destination node  
sends a remote frame with an identifier that matches  
the identifier of the required data frame. The  
appropriate data source node will then send a data  
frame in response to the remote frame request.  
The Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) field follows the  
data field and is used to detect transmission errors. The  
CRC field consists of a 15-bit CRC sequence, followed  
by the recessive CRC Delimiter bit.  
The final field is the two-bit Acknowledge (ACK) field.  
During the ACK Slot bit, the transmitting node sends  
out a recessive bit. Any node that has received an  
error-free frame acknowledges the correct reception of  
the frame by sending back a dominant bit (regardless  
of whether the node is configured to accept that  
specific message or not). The recessive acknowledge  
delimiter completes the acknowledge field and may not  
be overwritten by a dominant bit.  
There are two differences between a remote frame  
(shown in Figure 2-3) and a data frame. First, the RTR  
bit is at the recessive state and, second, there is no  
data field. In the event of a data frame and a remote  
frame with the same identifier being transmitted at the  
same time, the data frame wins arbitration due to the  
dominant RTR bit following the identifier. In this way,  
the node that transmitted the remote frame receives  
the desired data immediately.  
2.2  
Extended Data Frame  
In the extended CAN data frame, shown in Figure 2-2,  
the SOF bit is followed by the arbitration field, which  
consists of 32 bits. The first 11 bits are the Most  
Significant bits (MSb) (Base-lD) of the 29-bit identifier.  
These 11 bits are followed by the Substitute Remote  
Request (SRR) bit, which is defined to be recessive.  
The SRR bit is followed by the lDE bit, which is  
recessive to denote an extended CAN frame.  
2.4  
Error Frame  
An error frame is generated by any node that detects a  
bus error. An error frame, shown in Figure 2-4, consists  
of two fields: an error flag field followed by an error  
delimiter field. There are two types of error flag fields.  
The type of error flag field sent depends upon the error  
status of the node that detects and generates the error  
flag field.  
It should be noted that if arbitration remains unresolved  
after transmission of the first 11 bits of the identifier, and  
one of the nodes involved in the arbitration is sending  
a standard CAN frame (11-bit identifier), the standard

2.4.1  
ACTIVE ERRORS  
2.5  
Overload Frame  
If an error-active node detects a bus error, the node  
interrupts transmission of the current message by  
generating an active error flag. The active error flag is  
composed of six consecutive dominant bits. This bit  
sequence actively violates the bit-stuffing rule. All other  
stations recognize the resulting bit-stuffing error and, in  
turn, generate error frames themselves, called error  
echo flags.  
An overload frame, shown in Figure 2-5, has the same  
format as an active-error frame. An overload frame,  
however, can only be generated during an interframe  
space. In this way, an overload frame can be  
differentiated from an error frame (an error frame is  
sent during the transmission of a message). The  
overload frame consists of two fields: an overload flag  
followed by an overload delimiter. The overload flag  
consists of six dominant bits followed by overload flags  
generated by other nodes (and, as for an active error  
flag, giving a maximum of twelve dominant bits). The  
overload delimiter consists of eight recessive bits. An  
overload frame can be generated by a node as a result  
of two conditions:  
The error flag field, therefore, consists of between six  
and twelve consecutive dominant bits (generated by  
one or more nodes). The error delimiter field (eight  
recessive bits) completes the error frame. Upon  
completion of the error frame, bus activity returns to  
normal and the interrupted node attempts to resend the  
aborted message.  
1. The node detects a dominant bit during the  
interframe space, an illegal condition.  
Exception: The dominant bit is detected during  
the third bit of IFS. In this case, the receivers will  
interpret this as a SOF.  
Note:  
Error echo flags typically occur when a  
localized disturbance causes one or more  
(but not all) nodes to send an error flag.  
The remaining nodes generate error flags  
in response (echo) to the original error  
flag.  
2. Due to internal conditions, the node is not yet  
able to begin reception of the next message. A  
node may generate  
a maximum of two  
sequential overload frames to delay the start of  
the next message.  
2.4.2  
PASSIVE ERRORS  
If an error-passive node detects a bus error, the node  
transmits an error-passive flag followed by the error  
delimiter field. The error-passive flag consists of six  
consecutive recessive bits. The error frame for an error-  
passive node consists of 14 recessive bits. From this, it  
follows that unless the bus error is detected by an error-  
active node or the transmitting node, the message will  
continue transmission because the error-passive flag  
does not interfere with the bus.  
Note:  
Case 2 should never occur with the  
MCP2515 due to very short internal  
delays.  
2.6  
Interframe Space  
The interframe space separates a preceding frame (of  
any type) from a subsequent data or remote frame.  
The interframe space is composed of at least three  
recessive bits called the Intermission. This allows  
nodes time for internal processing before the start of  
the next message frame. After the intermission, the  
bus line remains in the recessive state (bus idle) until  
the next transmission starts.  
If the transmitting node generates an error-passive flag,  
it will cause other nodes to generate error frames due to  
the resulting bit-stuffing violation. After transmission of  
an error frame, an error-passive node must wait for six  
consecutive recessive bits on the bus before attempting  
to rejoin bus communications.  
The error delimiter consists of eight recessive bits, and  
allows the bus nodes to restart bus communications  
cleanly after an error has occurred.

Initiating Transmission  
3.0  
3.1  
MESSAGE TRANSMISSION  
Transmit Buffers  
In order to initiate message transmission, the  
TXBnCTRL.TXREQ bit must be set for each buffer to  
be transmitted. This can be accomplished by:  
The MCP2515 implements three transmit buffers. Each  
of these buffers occupies 14 bytes of SRAM and are  
mapped into the device memory map.  
• Writing to the register via the SPI write command  
• Sending the SPI RTS command  
The first byte, TXBnCTRL, is a control register  
associated with the message buffer. The information in  
this register determines the conditions under which the  
message will be transmitted and indicates the status of  
the message transmission (see Register 3-2).  
• Setting the TXnRTS pin low for the particular  
transmit buffer(s) that are to be transmitted  
If transmission is initiated via the SPI interface, the  
TXREQ bit can be set at the same time as the TXP  
priority bits.  
Five bytes are used to hold the standard and extended  
identifiers, as well as other message arbitration  
information (see Register 3-4 through Register 3-7).  
The last eight bytes are for the eight possible data  
bytes of the message to be transmitted (see  
Register 3-8).  
When TXBnCTRL.TXREQ is set, the TXBnCTRL.ABTF,  
TXBnCTRL.MLOA and TXBnCTRL.TXERR bits will be  
cleared automatically.  
Note:  
Setting the TXBnCTRL.TXREQ bit does  
not initiate a message transmission. It  
merely flags a message buffer as being  
ready for transmission. Transmission will  
start when the device detects that the bus  
is available.  
At a minimum, the TXBnSIDH, TXBnSIDL and  
TXBnDLC registers must be loaded. If data bytes are  
present in the message, the TXBnDm registers must  
also be loaded. If the message is to use extended  
identifiers, the TXBnEIDm registers must also be  
loaded and the TXBnSIDL.EXIDE bit set.  
Once the transmission has completed successfully, the  
TXBnCTRL.TXREQ bit will be cleared, the  
CANINTF.TXnIF bit will be set and an interrupt will be  
generated if the CANINTE.TXnIE bit is set.  
Prior to sending the message, the MCU must initialize  
the CANINTE.TXInE bit to enable or disable the  
generation of an interrupt when the message is sent.  
If  
the  
message  
transmission  
fails,  
the  
TXBnCTRL.TXREQ will remain set. This indicates that  
the message is still pending for transmission and one  
of the following condition flags will be set:  
Note:  
The TXBnCTRL.TXREQ bit must be clear  
(indicating the transmit buffer is not  
pending transmission) before writing to  
the transmit buffer.  
• If the message started to transmit but encoun-  
tered an error condition, the TXBnCTRL.TXERR  
and the CANINTF.MERRF bits will be set and an  
interrupt will be generated on the INT pin if the  
CANINTE.MERRE bit is set  
3.2  
Transmit Priority  
Transmit priority is a prioritization within the MCP2515  
of the pending transmittable messages. This is  
independent from, and not necessarily related to, any  
prioritization implicit in the message arbitration scheme  
built into the CAN protocol.  
• If the message is lost, arbitration at the  
TXBnCTRL.MLOA bit will be set  
Note:  
If  
One-Shot  
mode  
is  
enabled  
(CANCTRL.OSM), the above conditions  
will still exist. However, the TXREQ bit will  
be cleared and the message will not  
attempt transmission a second time.  
Prior to sending the SOF, the priority of all buffers that  
are queued for transmission is compared. The transmit  
buffer with the highest priority will be sent first. For  
example, if transmit buffer 0 has a higher priority setting  
than transmit buffer 1, buffer 0 will be sent first.  
3.4  
One-Shot Mode  
If two buffers have the same priority setting, the buffer  
with the highest buffer number will be sent first. For  
example, if transmit buffer 1 has the same priority  
setting as transmit buffer 0, buffer 1 will be sent first.  
One-Shot mode ensures that a message will only  
attempt to transmit one time. Normally, if a CAN  
message loses arbitration, or is destroyed by an error  
frame, the message is retransmitted. With One-Shot  
mode enabled, a message will only attempt to transmit  
one time, regardless of arbitration loss or error frame.  
There are four levels of transmit priority. If  
TXBnCTRL.TXP<1:0> for a particular message buffer  
is set to 11, that buffer has the highest possible priority.  
If TXBnCTRL.TXP<1:0> for a particular message buf-  
fer is 00, that buffer has the lowest possible priority.  
One-Shot mode is required to maintain time slots in  
deterministic systems, such as TTCAN.

TXnRTS PINS  
3.6  
Aborting Transmission  
The TXnRTS pins are input pins that can be configured  
as:  
The MCU can request to abort a message in a specific  
message buffer by clearing the associated  
TXBnCTRL.TXREQ bit.  
• Request-to-send inputs, which provide an  
alternative means of initiating the transmission of  
a message from any of the transmit buffers  
In addition, all pending messages can be requested to  
be aborted by setting the CANCTRL.ABAT bit. This bit  
MUST be reset (typically after the TXREQ bits have  
been verified to be cleared) to continue transmitting  
messages. The TXBnCTRL.ABTF flag will only be set  
if the abort was requested via the CANCTRL.ABAT bit.  
Aborting a message by resetting the TXREQ bit does  
NOT cause the ABTF bit to be set.  
• Standard digital inputs  
Configuration and control of these pins is accomplished  
using the TXRTSCTRL register (see Register 3-3). The  
TXRTSCTRL register can only be modified when the  
MCP2515 is in Configuration mode (see Section 10.0  
“Modes of Operation”). If configured to operate as a  
request-to-send pin, the pin is mapped into the  
respective TXBnCTRL.TXREQ bit for the transmit  
buffer. The TXREQ bit is latched by the falling edge of  
the TXnRTS pin. The TXnRTS pins are designed to  
allow them to be tied directly to the RXnBF pins to  
automatically initiate a message transmission when the  
RXnBF pin goes low.  
Note 1: Messages that were transmitting when  
the abort was requested will continue to  
transmit. If the message does not  
successfully complete transmission (i.e.,  
lost arbitration or was interrupted by an  
error frame), it will then be aborted.  
2: When One-Shot mode is enabled, if the  
message is interrupted due to an error  
frame or loss of arbitration, the  
TXBnCTRL.ABTF bit will set.  
The TXnRTS pins have internal pull-up resistors of  
100 k(nominal).

Receive Priority

4.1  
MESSAGE RECEPTION  
Receive Message Buffering  
RXB0, the higher priority buffer, has one mask and two  
message acceptance filters associated with it. The  
received message is applied to the mask and filters for  
RXB0 first.  
The MCP2515 includes two full receive buffers with  
multiple acceptance filters for each. There is also a  
separate Message Assembly Buffer (MAB) that acts as  
a third receive buffer (see Figure 4-2).  
RXB1 is the lower priority buffer, with one mask and  
four acceptance filters associated with it.  
In addition to the message being applied to the RB0  
mask and filters first, the lower number of acceptance  
filters makes the match on RXB0 more restrictive and  
implies a higher priority for that buffer.  
4.1.1  
MESSAGE ASSEMBLY BUFFER  
Of the three receive buffers, the MAB is always  
committed to receiving the next message from the bus.  
The MAB assembles all messages received. These  
messages will be transferred to the RXBn buffers (see  
Register 4-4 to Register 4-9) only if the acceptance  
filter criteria is met.  
When a message is received, bits <3:0> of the  
RXBnCTRL register will indicate the acceptance filter  
number that enabled reception and whether the  
received message is a remote transfer request.  
4.1.2  
RXB0 AND RXB1  
4.2.1  
ROLLOVER  
The remaining two receive buffers, called RXB0 and  
RXB1, can receive a complete message from the  
protocol engine via the MAB. The MCU can access one  
buffer, while the other buffer is available for message  
Additionally, the RXB0CTRL register can be configured  
such that, if RXB0 contains a valid message and  
another valid message is received, an overflow error  
will not occur and the new message will be moved into  
RXB1, regardless of the acceptance criteria of RXB1.  
reception, or for holding  
message.  
a previously received  
4.2.2  
RXM BITS  
Note:  
The entire content of the MAB is moved  
into the receive buffer once a message is  
accepted. This means, that regardless of  
the type of identifier (standard or  
extended) and the number of data bytes  
received, the entire receive buffer is  
overwritten with the MAB contents.  
Therefore, the contents of all registers in  
the buffer must be assumed to have been  
modified when any message is received.  
The RXBnCTRL.RXM bits set special receive modes.  
Normally, these bits are cleared to 00 to enable  
reception of all valid messages as determined by the  
appropriate acceptance filters. In this case, the  
determination of whether or not to receive standard or  
extended messages is determined by the  
RFXnSIDL.EXIDE bit in the acceptance filter register.  
If the RXBnCTRL.RXM bits are set to 01 or 10, the  
receiver will only accept messages with standard or  
extended identifiers, respectively. If an acceptance  
filter has the RFXnSIDL.EXIDE bit set such that it does  
not correspond with the RXBnCTRL.RXM mode, that  
acceptance filter is rendered useless. These two  
modes of RXBnCTRL.RXM bits can be used in  
systems where it is known that only standard or  
extended messages will be on the bus.  
4.1.3  
RECEIVE FLAGS/INTERRUPTS  
When a message is moved into either of the receive  
buffers, the appropriate CANINTF.RXnIF bit is set. This  
bit must be cleared by the MCU in order to allow a new  
message to be received into the buffer. This bit  
provides a positive lockout to ensure that the MCU has  
finished with the message before the MCP2515  
attempts to load a new message into the receive buffer.  
If the RXBnCTRL.RXM bits are set to 11, the buffer will  
receive all messages, regardless of the values of the  
acceptance filters. Also, if a message has an error  
before the EOF, that portion of the message assembled  
in the MAB before the error frame will be loaded into the  
buffer. This mode has some value in debugging a CAN  
system and would not be used in an actual system  
environment.  
If the CANINTE.RXnIE bit is set, an interrupt will be  
generated on the INT pin to indicate that a valid  
message has been received. In addition, the  
associated RXnBF pin will drive low if configured as a  
receive buffer full pin. See Section 4.4 “RX0BF and  
RX1BF Pins” for details.

4.3  
Start-of-Frame Signal  
The RXBnBF pins can be disabled to the high-  
impedance state by clearing BFPCTRL.BnBFE.  
If enabled, the Start-Of-Frame signal is generated on  
the SOF pin at the beginning of each CAN message  
detected on the RXCAN pin.  
4.4.2  
CONFIGURED AS BUFFER FULL  
The RXCAN pin monitors an idle bus for a recessive-  
to-dominant edge. If the dominant condition remains  
until the sample point, the MCP2515 interprets this as  
a SOF and a SOF pulse is generated. If the dominant  
condition does not remain until the sample point, the  
MCP2515 interprets this as a glitch on the bus and no  
SOF signal is generated. Figure 4-1 illustrates SOF  
signalling and glitch-filtering.  
The RXBnBF pins can be configured to act as either  
buffer full interrupt pins or as standard digital outputs.  
Configuration and status of these pins is available via  
the BFPCTRL register (Register 4-3). When set to  
operate in Interrupt mode (by setting BFPCTRL.BxBFE  
and BFPCTRL.BxBFM bits), these pins are active-low  
and are mapped to the CANINTF.RXnIF bit for each  
receive buffer. When this bit goes high for one of the  
receive buffers (indicating that a valid message has  
been loaded into the buffer), the corresponding  
RXBnBF pin will go low. When the CANINTF.RXnIF bit  
is cleared by the MCU, the corresponding interrupt pin  
will go to the logic-high state until the next message is  
loaded into the receive buffer.  
As with One-Shot mode, one use for SOF signaling is  
for TTCAN-type systems. In addition, by monitoring  
both the RXCAN pin and the SOF pin, an MCU can  
detect early physical bus problems by detecting small  
glitches before they affect the CAN communications.  
4.4  
RX0BF and RX1BF Pins  
In addition to the INT pin, which provides an interrupt  
signal to the MCU for many different conditions, the  
receive buffer full pins (RX0BF and RX1BF) can be  
used to indicate that a valid message has been loaded  
into RXB0 or RXB1, respectively. The pins have three  
different configurations (Register 4-1):  
1. Disabled  
2. Buffer Full Interrupt  
3. Digital Output

CONFIGURING RXNBF PINS  
When used as digital outputs, the BFPCTRL.BxBFM bit  
must be cleared and BFPCTRL.BnBFE must be set for  
the associated buffer. In this mode, the state of the pin  
is controlled by the BFPCTRL.BnBFS bits. Writing a ‘1’  
to the BnBFS bit will cause a high level to be driven on  
the associated buffer full pin, while a ‘0’ will cause the  
pin to drive low. When using the pins in this mode, the  
state of the pin should be modified only by using the Bit  
Modify SPI command to prevent glitches from  
occurring on either of the buffer full pins.

identifier is compared to the masks and filters to deter-  
mine if the message should be loaded into a receive  
buffer. The mask essentially determines which bits to  
apply the acceptance filters to. If any mask bit is set to  
a zero, that bit will automatically be accepted,  
regardless of the filter bit.  
4.5  
Message Acceptance Filters and  
Masks  
The message acceptance filters and masks are used to  
determine if a message in the message assembly buf-  
fer should be loaded into either of the receive buffers  
(see Figure 4-5). Once a valid message has been  
received into the MAB, the identifier fields of the mes-  
sage are compared to the filter values. If there is a  
match, that message will be loaded into the appropriate  
receive buffer.

DATA BYTE FILTERING

When receiving standard data frames (11-bit identifier),  
the MCP2515 automatically applies 16 bits of masks  
and filters normally associated with extended  
identifiers to the first 16 bits of the data field (data bytes  
0 and 1). Figure 4-4 illustrates how masks and filters  
apply to extended and standard data frames.

Note:  
X= don’t care  
Data byte filtering reduces the load on the MCU when  
implementing Higher Layer Protocols (HLPs) that filter  
on the first data byte (e.g., DeviceNet™).  
As shown in the receive buffers block diagram  
(Figure 4-2), acceptance filters RXF0 and RXF1 (and  
filter mask RXM0) are associated with RXB0. Filters  
RXF2, RXF3, RXF4, RXF5 and mask RXM1 are  
associated with RXB1.  
4.5.2  
FILTER MATCHING  
The filter masks (see Register 4-14 through  
Register 4-17) are used to determine which bits in the  
identifier are examined with the filters. A truth table is  
shown in Table 4-2 that indicates how each bit in the

If the BUKT bit is clear, there are six codes  
corresponding to the six filters. If the BUKT bit is set,  
there are six codes corresponding to the six filters, plus  
two additional codes corresponding to RXF0 and RXF1  
filters that roll over into RXB1.  
4.5.3  
FILHIT BITS  
Filter matches on received messages can be  
determined by the FILHIT bits in the associated  
RXBnCTRL register. RXB0CTRL.FILHIT0 for buffer 0  
and RXB1CTRL.FILHIT<2:0> for buffer 1.  
The three FILHIT bits for receive buffer 1 (RXB1) are  
coded as follows:  
4.5.4  
MULTIPLE FILTER MATCHES  
If more than one acceptance filter matches, the FILHIT  
bits will encode the binary value of the lowest  
numbered filter that matched. For example, if filter  
RXF2 and filter RXF4 match, FILHIT will be loaded with  
the value for RXF2. This essentially prioritizes the  
acceptance filters with a lower-numbered filter having  
higher priority. Messages are compared to filters in  
ascending order of filter number. This also ensures that  
the message will only be received into one buffer. This  
implies that RXB0 has a higher priority than RXB1.  
- 101= Acceptance Filter 5 (RXF5)  
- 100= Acceptance Filter 4 (RXF4)  
- 011= Acceptance Filter 3 (RXF3)  
- 010= Acceptance Filter 2 (RXF2)  
- 001= Acceptance Filter 1 (RXF1)  
- 000= Acceptance Filter 0 (RXF0)  
Note: 000and 001can only occur if the BUKT bit  
in RXB0CTRL is set, allowing RXB0  
messages to roll over into RXB1.  
4.5.5  
CONFIGURING THE MASKS AND  
FILTERS  
RXB0CTRL contains two copies of the BUKT bit and  
the FILHIT<0> bit.  
The mask and filter registers can only be modified  
when the MCP2515 is in Configuration mode (see  
Section 10.0 “Modes of Operation”).  
The coding of the BUKT bit enables these three bits to  
be used similarly to the RXB1CTRL.FILHIT bits and to  
distinguish a hit on filter RXF0 and RXF1 in either  
RXB0 or after a roll over into RXB1.  
Note: The mask and filter registers read all '0'  
when in any mode except Configuration  
mode.  
- 111= Acceptance Filter 1 (RXB1)  
- 110= Acceptance Filter 0 (RXB1)

The CAN Bit TIme  
5.0  
BIT TIMING  
All devices on the CAN bus must use the same bit rate.  
However, all devices are not required to have the same  
master oscillator clock frequency. For the different  
clock frequencies of the individual devices, the bit rate  
has to be adjusted by appropriately setting the Baud  
Rate Prescaler and number of time quanta in each  
segment.  
All nodes on a given CAN bus must have the same  
nominal bit rate. The CAN protocol uses Non Return to  
Zero (NRZ) coding, which does not encode a clock  
within the data stream. Therefore, the receive clock  
must be recovered by the receiving nodes and  
synchronized to the transmitter’s clock.  
As oscillators and transmission times may vary from  
node to node, the receiver must have some type of  
Phase Lock Loop (PLL) synchronized to data  
transmission edges to synchronize and maintain the  
receiver clock. Since the data is NRZ-coded, it is  
necessary to include bit-stuffing to ensure that an edge  
occurs at least every six bit times to maintain the Digital  
Phase Lock Loop (DPLL) synchronization.  
The CAN bit time is made up of non-overlapping  
segments. Each of these segments are made up of  
integer units called Time Quanta (TQ), explained later  
in this data sheet. The Nominal Bit Rate (NBR) is  
defined in the CAN specification as the number of bits  
per second transmitted by an ideal transmitter with no  
resynchronization. It can be described with the  
equation:  
The bit timing of the MCP2515 is implemented using a  
DPLL that is configured to synchronize to the incoming  
data, as well as provide the nominal timing for the  
transmitted data. The DPLL breaks each bit time into  
multiple segments made up of minimal periods of time,  
called the Time Quanta (TQ).  
EQUATION 5-1:  
1
tbit  
NBR = f  
= ------  
bit  
Bus timing functions executed within the bit time frame  
(such as synchronization to the local oscillator, network  
transmission delay compensation and sample point  
positioning) are defined by the programmable bit timing  
logic of the DPLL.  
Nominal Bit Time  
The Nominal Bit Time (NBT) (tbit) is made up of non-  
overlapping segments (Figure 5-1). Therefore, the  
NBT is the summation of the following segments:  
t
= t  
+ t  
+ t  
+ t  
bit  
SyncSeg  
PropSeg PS1 PS2  
Associated with the NBT are the sample point,  
Synchronization Jump Width (SJW) and Information  
Processing Time (IPT), which are explained later.  
SYNCHRONIZATION SEGMENT  
The Synchronization Segment (SyncSeg) is the first  
segment in the NBT and is used to synchronize the  
nodes on the bus. Bit edges are expected to occur  
within the SyncSeg. This segment is fixed at 1 TQ.

Therefore:  
PROPAGATION SEGMENT  
The Propagation Segment (PropSeg) exists to  
compensate for physical delays between nodes. The  
propagation delay is defined as twice the sum of the  
signal’s propagation time on the bus line, including the  
delays associated with the bus driver. The PropSeg is  
programmable from 1-8 TQ.  
PS2  
= IPT = 2TQ  
min  
SYNCHRONIZATION JUMP WIDTH  
The Synchronization Jump Width (SJW) adjusts the bit  
clock as necessary by 1-4 TQ (as configured) to  
maintain synchronization with the transmitted  
message. Synchronization is covered in more detail  
later in this data sheet.  
PHASE SEGMENT 1 (PS1) AND PHASE  
SEGMENT 2 (PS2)  
The two phase segments, PS1 and PS2, are used to  
compensate for edge phase errors on the bus. PS1 can  
be lengthened (or PS2 shortened) by resyncronization.  
PS1 is programmable from 1-8 TQ and PS2 is  
programmable from 2-8 TQ.  
Time Quantum  
Each of the segments that make up a bit time are made  
up of integer units called Time Quanta (TQ). The length  
of each Time Quantum is based on the oscillator period  
(tOSC). The base TQ equals twice the oscillator period.  
Figure 5-2 shows how the bit period is derived from  
TOSC and TQ. The TQ length equals one TQ clock  
period (tBRPCLK), which is programmable using a  
programmable prescaler, called the Baud Rate  
Prescaler (BRP). This is illustrated in the following  
equation:  
SAMPLE POINT  
The sample point is the point in the bit time at which the  
logic level is read and interpreted. The sample point is  
located at the end of PS1. The exception to this rule is  
if the sample mode is configured to sample three times  
per bit. In this case, while the bit is still sampled at the  
end of PS1, two additional samples are taken at one-  
half TQ intervals prior to the end of PS1, with the value  
of the bit being determined by a majority decision.  
EQUATION 5-2:  
INFORMATION PROCESSING TIME  
2 BRP  
TQ = 2 BRP T  
= ------------------  
OSC  
The Information Processing Time (IPT) is the time  
required for the logic to determine the bit level of a  
sampled bit. The IPT begins at the sample point, is  
measured in TQ and is fixed at 2 TQ for the Microchip  
CAN module. Since PS2 also begins at the sample  
point and is the last segment in the bit time, it is  
required that the PS2 minimum is not less than the IPT.

5.2.2.2  
No Phase Error (e = 0)  
5.2  
Synchronization  
If the magnitude of the phase error is less than or equal  
to the programmed value of the SJW, the effect of a  
resynchronization is the same as that of a hard  
synchronization.  
To compensate for phase shifts between the oscillator  
frequencies of each of the nodes on the bus, each CAN  
controller must be able to synchronize to the relevant  
signal edge of the incoming signal. Synchronization is  
the process by which the DPLL function is  
implemented.  
5.2.2.3  
Positive Phase Error (e > 0)  
If the magnitude of the phase error is larger than the  
SJW and, if the phase error is positive, PS1 is  
lengthened by an amount equal to the SJW.  
When an edge in the transmitted data is detected, the  
logic will compare the location of the edge to the  
expected time (SyncSeg). The circuit will then adjust  
the values of PS1 and PS2 as necessary.  
5.2.2.4  
Negative Phase Error (e < 0)  
There are two mechanisms used for synchronization:  
If the magnitude of the phase error is larger than the  
resynchronization jump width and the phase error is  
negative, PS2 is shortened by an amount equal to the  
SJW.  
1. Hard synchronization  
2. Resynchronization  
5.2.1  
HARD SYNCHRONIZATION  
5.2.3  
SYNCHRONIZATION RULES  
Hard synchronization is only performed when there is a  
recessive-to-dominant edge during a BUS IDLE  
condition, indicating the start of a message. After hard  
synchronization, the bit time counters are restarted with  
SyncSeg.  
1. Only recessive-to-dominant edges will be used  
for synchronization.  
2. Only one synchronization within one bit time is  
allowed.  
Hard synchronization forces the edge that has  
occurred to lie within the synchronization segment of  
the restarted bit time. Due to the rules of  
synchronization, if a hard synchronization occurs, there  
will not be a resynchronization within that bit time.  
3. An edge will be used for synchronization only if  
the value detected at the previous sample point  
(previously read bus value) differs from the bus  
value immediately after the edge.  
4. A transmitting node will not resynchronize on a  
positive phase error (e > 0).  
5.2.2  
RESYNCHRONIZATION  
5. If the absolute magnitude of the phase error is  
greater than the SJW, the appropriate phase  
segment will adjust by an amount equal to the  
SJW.  
As a result of resynchronization, PS1 may be  
lengthened or PS2 may be shortened. The amount of  
lengthening or shortening of the phase buffer segments  
has an upper-bound, given by the Synchronization  
Jump Width (SJW).  
The value of the SJW will be added to PS1 or  
subtracted from PS2 (see Figure 5-3). The SJW  
represents the loop filtering of the DPLL. The SJW is  
programmable between 1 TQ and 4 TQ.  
5.2.2.1  
Phase Errors  
The NRZ bit coding method does not encode a clock  
into the message. Clocking information will only be  
derived from recessive-to-dominant transitions. The  
property which states that only a fixed maximum  
number of successive bits have the same value (bit-  
stuffing) ensures resynchronization to the bit stream  
during a frame.  
The phase error of an edge is given by the position of  
the edge relative to SyncSeg, measured in TQ. The  
phase error is defined in magnitude of TQ as follows:  
• e = 0if the edge lies within SYNCSEG  
• e > 0if the edge lies before the SAMPLE POINT  
(TQ is added to PS1)  
• e < 0if the edge lies after the SAMPLE POINT of  
the previous bit (TQ is subtracted from PS2)

Programming Time Segments  
5.5  
Bit Timing Configuration  
Registers  
Some requirements for programming of the time  
segments:  
The configuration registers (CNF1, CNF2, CNF3)  
control the bit timing for the CAN bus interface. These  
registers can only be modified when the MCP2515 is in  
Configuration mode (see Section 10.0 “Modes of  
Operation”).  
• PropSeg + PS1 >= PS2  
• PropSeg + PS1 >= TDELAY  
• PS2 > SJW  
For example, assuming that a 125 kHz CAN baud rate  
with FOSC = 20 MHz is desired:  
5.5.1  
CNF1  
TOSC  
=
50 ns, choose BRP<5:0> = 04h, then  
The BRP<5:0> bits control the Baud Rate Prescaler.  
These bits set the length of TQ relative to the OSC1  
input frequency, with the minimum TQ length being  
TQ = 500 ns. To obtain 125 kHz, the bit time must be 16  
TQ.  
2 TOSC (when BRP<5:0>  
SJW<1:0> bits select the SJW in terms of number of  
TQs.  
=
b000000’). The  
Typically, the sampling of the bit should take place at  
about 60-70% of the bit time, depending on the system  
parameters. Also, typically, the TDELAY is 1-2 TQ.  
SyncSeg = 1 TQ and PropSeg = 2 TQ. So setting  
PS1 = 7 TQ would place the sample at 10 TQ after the  
transition. This would leave 6 TQ for PS2.  
5.5.2  
CNF2  
The PRSEG<2:0> bits set the length (in TQ’s) of the  
propagation segment. The PHSEG1<2:0> bits set the  
length (in TQ’s) of PS1.  
Since PS2 is 6, according to the rules, SJW could be a  
maximum of 4 TQ. However, a large SJW is typically  
only necessary when the clock generation of the differ-  
ent nodes is inaccurate or unstable, such as using  
ceramic resonators. So a SJW of 1 is usually enough.  
The SAM bit controls how many times the RXCAN pin  
is sampled. Setting this bit to a ‘1’ causes the bus to be  
sampled three times: twice at TQ/2 before the sample  
point and once at the normal sample point (which is at  
the end of PS1). The value of the bus is determined to  
be the majority sampled. If the SAM bit is set to a ‘0’,  
the RXCAN pin is sampled only once at the sample  
point.  
5.4  
Oscillator Tolerance  
The bit timing requirements allow ceramic resonators  
to be used in applications with transmission rates of up  
to 125 kbit/sec as a rule of thumb. For the full bus  
speed range of the CAN protocol, a quartz oscillator is  
required. A maximum node-to-node oscillator variation  
of 1.7% is allowed.  
The BTLMODE bit controls how the length of PS2 is  
determined. If this bit is set to a ‘1’, the length of PS2 is  
determined by the PHSEG2<2:0> bits of CNF3 (see  
Section 5.5.3 “CNF3”). If the BTLMODE bit is set to a  
0’, the length of PS2 is greater than that of PS1 and the  
information processing time (which is fixed at 2 TQ for  
the MCP2515).  
5.5.3  
CNF3  
The PHSEG2<2:0> bits set the length (in TQ’s) of PS2,  
if the CNF2.BTLMODE bit is set to a ‘1’. If the  
BTLMODE bit is set to a ‘0’, the PHSEG2<2:0> bits  
have no effect.

Error States  
6.0  
ERROR DETECTION  
Detected errors are made known to all other nodes via  
error frames. The transmission of the erroneous mes-  
sage is aborted and the frame is repeated as soon as  
possible. Furthermore, each CAN node is in one of the  
three error states according to the value of the internal  
error counters:  
The CAN protocol provides sophisticated error  
detection mechanisms. The following errors can be  
detected.  
6.1  
CRC Error  
With the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), the  
transmitter calculates special check bits for the bit  
sequence from the start of a frame until the end of the  
data field. This CRC sequence is transmitted in the  
CRC Field. The receiving node also calculates the  
CRC sequence using the same formula and performs  
a comparison to the received sequence. If a mismatch  
is detected, a CRC error has occurred and an error  
frame is generated. The message is repeated.  
1. Error-active  
2. Error-passive  
3. Bus-off (transmitter only)  
The error-active state is the usual state where the node  
can transmit messages and active error frames (made  
of dominant bits) without any restrictions.  
In the error-passive state, messages and passive error  
frames (made of recessive bits) may be transmitted.  
6.2  
Acknowledge Error  
The bus-off state makes it temporarily impossible for  
the station to participate in the bus communication.  
During this state, messages can neither be received or  
transmitted. Only transmitters can go bus-off.  
In the acknowledge field of a message, the transmitter  
checks if the acknowledge slot (which has been sent  
out as a recessive bit) contains a dominant bit. If not, no  
other node has received the frame correctly. An  
acknowledge error has occurred, an error frame is  
generated and the message will have to be repeated.  
6.7  
Error Modes and Error Counters  
The MCP2515 contains two error counters: the  
Receive Error Counter (REC) (see Register 6-2) and  
the Transmit Error Counter (TEC) (see Register 6-1).  
The values of both counters can be read by the MCU.  
These counters are incremented/decremented in  
accordance with the CAN bus specification.  
6.3  
Form Error  
If a node detects a dominant bit in one of the four  
segments (including end-of-frame, interframe space,  
acknowledge delimiter or CRC delimiter), a form error  
has occurred and an error frame is generated. The  
message is repeated.  
The MCP2515 is error-active if both error counters are  
below the error-passive limit of 128.  
It is error-passive if at least one of the error counters  
equals or exceeds 128.  
6.4  
Bit Error  
A bit error occurs if a transmitter detects the opposite  
bit level to what it transmitted (i.e., transmitted a  
dominant and detected a recessive, or transmitted a  
recessive and detected a dominant).  
It goes to bus-off if the TEC exceeds the bus-off limit of  
255. The device remains in this state until the bus-off  
recovery sequence is received. The bus-off recovery  
sequence consists of 128 occurrences of 11  
consecutive recessive bits (see Figure 6-1).  
Exception: In the case where the transmitter sends a  
recessive bit and a dominant bit is detected during the  
arbitration field and the acknowledge slot, no bit error is  
generated because normal arbitration is occurring.  
Note:  
The MCP2515, after going bus-off, will  
recover back to error-active without any  
intervention by the MCU if the bus remains  
idle for 128 x 11 bit times. If this is not  
desired, the error interrupt Service  
Routine should address this.  
6.5  
Stuff Error  
lf, between the start-of-frame and the CRC delimiter,  
six consecutive bits with the same polarity are  
detected, the bit-stuffing rule has been violated. A stuff  
error occurs and an error frame is generated. The  
message is repeated.  
The Current Error mode of the MCP2515 can be read  
by the MCU via the EFLG register (see Register 6-3).  
Additionally, there is an error state warning flag bit  
(EFLG:EWARN) which is set if at least one of the error  
counters equals or exceeds the error warning limit of  
96. EWARN is reset if both error counters are less than  
the error warning limit.

7.2  
Transmit Interrupt  
7.0  
INTERRUPTS  
When  
the  
transmit  
interrupt  
is  
enabled  
The MCP2515 has eight sources of interrupts. The  
CANINTE register contains the individual interrupt  
enable bits for each interrupt source. The CANINTF  
register contains the corresponding interrupt flag bit for  
each interrupt source. When an interrupt occurs, the  
INT pin is driven low by the MCP2515 and will remain  
low until the interrupt is cleared by the MCU. An  
interrupt can not be cleared if the respective condition  
still prevails.  
(CANINTE.TXnIE = 1), an interrupt will be generated on  
the INT pin once the associated transmit buffer  
becomes empty and is ready to be loaded with a new  
message. The CANINTF.TXnIF bit will be set to indicate  
the source of the interrupt. The interrupt is cleared by  
clearing the TXnIF bit.  
7.3  
Receive Interrupt  
It is recommended that the Bit Modify command be  
used to reset flag bits in the CANINTF register rather  
than normal write operations. This is done to prevent  
unintentionally changing a flag that changes during the  
Write command, potentially causing an interrupt to be  
missed.  
When  
the  
receive  
interrupt  
is  
enabled  
(CANINTE.RXnIE = 1), an interrupt will be generated  
on the INT pin once a message has been successfully  
received and loaded into the associated receive buffer.  
This interrupt is activated immediately after receiving  
the EOF field. The CANINTF.RXnIF bit will be set to  
indicate the source of the interrupt. The interrupt is  
cleared by clearing the RXnIF bit.  
It should be noted that the CANINTF flags are  
read/write and an interrupt can be generated by the  
MCU setting any of these bits, provided the associated  
CANINTE bit is also set.  
7.4  
Message Error Interrupt  
When an error occurs during the transmission or  
reception of a message, the message error flag  
(CANINTF.MERRF) will be set and, if the  
CANINTE.MERRE bit is set, an interrupt will be  
generated on the INT pin. This is intended to be used  
to facilitate baud rate determination when used in  
conjunction with Listen-Only mode.  
7.1  
Interrupt Code Bits  
The source of a pending interrupt is indicated in the  
CANSTAT.ICOD (interrupt code) bits, as indicated in  
Register 10-2. In the event that multiple interrupts  
occur, the INT will remain low until all interrupts have  
been reset by the MCU. The CANSTAT.ICOD bits will  
reflect the code for the highest priority interrupt that is  
currently pending. Interrupts are internally prioritized  
such that the lower the ICOD value, the higher the  
interrupt priority. Once the highest priority interrupt  
condition has been cleared, the code for the next  
highest priority interrupt that is pending (if any) will be  
reflected by the ICOD bits (see Table 7-1). Only those  
interrupt sources that have their associated CANINTE  
enable bit set will be reflected in the ICOD bits.  
7.5  
Bus Activity Wake-up Interrupt  
When the MCP2515 is in Sleep mode and the bus activity  
wake-up interrupt is enabled (CANINTE.WAKIE = 1), an  
interrupt will be generated on the INT pin and the  
CANINTF.WAKIF bit will be set when activity is detected  
on the CAN bus. This interrupt causes the MCP2515 to  
exit Sleep mode. The interrupt is reset by clearing the  
WAKIF bit.

7.6.1  
RECEIVER OVERFLOW  
An overflow condition occurs when the MAB has  
assembled a valid receive message (the message  
meets the criteria of the acceptance filters) and the  
receive buffer associated with the filter is not available  
for loading of a new message. The associated  
EFLG.RXnOVR bit will be set to indicate the overflow  
condition. This bit must be cleared by the MCU.  
Note:  
ERR is associated with CANINTE,ERRIE.

8.2  
CLKOUT Pin  
8.0  
OSCILLATOR  
The CLKOUT pin is provided to the system designer for  
use as the main system clock or as a clock input for  
other devices in the system. The CLKOUT has an inter-  
nal prescaler which can divide FOSC by 1, 2, 4 and 8.  
The CLKOUT function is enabled and the prescaler is  
selected via the CANCNTRL register (see  
Register 10-1).  
The MCP2515 is designed to be operated with a crystal  
or ceramic resonator connected to the OSC1 and  
OSC2 pins. The MCP2515 oscillator design requires  
the use of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut  
crystal may give a frequency out of the crystal  
manufacturer’s specifications. A typical oscillator circuit  
is shown in Figure 8-1. The MCP2515 may also be  
driven by an external clock source connected to the  
OSC1 pin, as shown in Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3.  
Note:  
The maximum frequency on CLKOUT is  
specified as 25 MHz (See Table 13-5).  
The CLKOUT pin will be active upon system Reset and  
default to the slowest speed (divide by 8) so that it can  
be used as the MCU clock.  
8.1  
Oscillator Start-up Timer  
The MCP2515 utilizes an Oscillator Start-up Timer  
(OST) that holds the MCP2515 in Reset to ensure that  
the oscillator has stabilized before the internal state  
machine begins to operate. The OST maintains Reset  
for the first 128 OSC1 clock cycles after power-up or a  
wake-up from Sleep mode occurs. It should be noted  
that no SPI protocol operations should be attempted  
until after the OST has expired.  
When Sleep mode is requested, the MCP2515 will  
drive sixteen additional clock cycles on the CLKOUT  
pin before entering Sleep mode. The Idle state of the  
CLKOUT pin in Sleep mode is low. When the CLKOUT  
function is disabled (CANCNTRL.CLKEN = 0) the  
CLKOUT pin is in a high-impedance state.  
The CLKOUT function is designed to ensure that  
thCLKOUT and tlCLKOUT timings are preserved when the  
CLKOUT pin function is enabled, disabled or the  
prescaler value is changed.

RESET  
The MCP2515 differentiates between two Resets:  
1. Hardware Reset – Low on RESET pin  
2. SPI Reset – Reset via SPI command  
Both of these Resets are functionally equivalent. It is  
important to provide one of these two Resets after  
power-up to ensure that the logic and registers are in  
their default state. A hardware Reset can be achieved  
automatically by placing an RC on the RESET pin (see  
Figure 9-1). The values must be such that the device is  
held in Reset for a minimum of 2 µs after VDD reaches  
operating voltage, as indicated in the electrical  
specification (tRL).

MCP2515  
NOTES:  
DS21801G-page 58

MCP2515  
When in Sleep mode, the MCP2515 stops its internal  
oscillator. The MCP2515 will wake-up when bus activity  
occurs or when the MCU sets, via the SPI interface, the  
CANINTF.WAKIF bit to ‘generate’ a wake-up attempt  
(the CANINTE.WAKIE bit must also be set in order for  
the wake-up interrupt to occur).  
10.0 MODES OF OPERATION  
The MCP2515 has five modes of operation. These  
modes are:  
1. Configuration mode  
2. Normal mode  
The TXCAN pin will remain in the recessive state while  
the MCP2515 is in Sleep mode.  
3. Sleep mode  
4. Listen-Only mode  
5. Loopback mode  
10.2.1  
WAKE-UP FUNCTIONS  
The operational mode is selected via the  
CANCTRL. REQOP bits (see Register 10-1).  
The device will monitor the RXCAN pin for activity while  
it is in Sleep mode. If the CANINTE.WAKIE bit is set,  
the device will wake-up and generate an interrupt.  
Since the internal oscillator is shut down while in Sleep  
mode, it will take some amount of time for the oscillator  
to start-up and the device to enable itself to receive  
messages. This Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is  
defined as 128 TOSC.  
When changing modes, the mode will not actually  
change until all pending message transmissions are  
complete. The requested mode must be verified by  
reading  
the  
CANSTAT.OPMODE  
bits  
(see  
Register 10-2).  
10.1 Configuration Mode  
The device will ignore the message that caused the  
wake-up from Sleep mode, as well as any messages  
that occur while the device is ‘waking up’. The device  
will wake-up in Listen-Only mode. The MCU must set  
Normal mode before the MCP2515 will be able to  
communicate on the bus.  
The MCP2515 must be initialized before activation.  
This is only possible if the device is in the Configuration  
mode. Configuration mode is automatically selected  
after power-up, a Reset or can be entered from any  
other mode by setting the CANTRL.REQOP bits to  
100’. When Configuration mode is entered, all error  
counters are cleared. Configuration mode is the only  
mode where the following registers are modifiable:  
The device can be programmed to apply a low-pass  
filter function to the RXCAN input line while in internal  
Sleep mode. This feature can be used to prevent the  
device from waking up due to short glitches on the CAN  
bus lines. The CNF3.WAKFIL bit enables or disables  
the filter.  
• CNF1, CNF2, CNF3  
• TXRTSCTRL  
• Filter registers  
• Mask registers  
10.3 Listen-Only Mode  
Listen-Only mode provides a means for the MCP2515  
to receive all messages (including messages with  
errors) by configuring the RXBnCTRL.RXM<1:0> bits.  
This mode can be used for bus monitor applications or  
for detecting the baud rate in ‘hot plugging’ situations.  
10.2 Sleep Mode  
The MCP2515 has an internal Sleep mode that is used  
to minimize the current consumption of the device. The  
SPI interface remains active for reading even when the  
MCP2515 is in Sleep mode, allowing access to all  
registers.  
For auto-baud detection, it is necessary that at least  
two other nodes are communicating with each other.  
The baud rate can be detected empirically by testing  
different values until valid messages are received.  
To enter Sleep mode, the mode request bits are set in  
the CANCTRL register (REQOP<2:0>). The  
CANSTAT.OPMODE bits indicate operation mode.  
These bits should be read after sending the Sleep  
command to the MCP2515. The MCP2515 is active  
and has not yet entered Sleep mode until these bits  
indicate that Sleep mode has been entered.  
Listen-Only mode is a silent mode, meaning no  
messages will be transmitted while in this mode  
(including error flags or acknowledge signals). In  
Listen-Only mode, both valid and invalid messages will  
be received regardless of filters and masks or RXMn  
Receive Buffer mode bits. The error counters are reset  
and deactivated in this state. The Listen-Only mode is  
activated by setting the mode request bits in the  
CANCTRL register.  
When in internal Sleep mode, the wake-up interrupt is  
still active (if enabled). This is done so that the MCU  
can also be placed into a Sleep mode and use the  
MCP2515 to wake it up upon detecting activity on the  
bus.

DS21801G-page 59  
MCP2515  
10.4 Loopback Mode  
10.5 Normal Mode  
Loopback mode will allow internal transmission of  
messages from the transmit buffers to the receive  
buffers without actually transmitting messages on the  
CAN bus. This mode can be used in system  
development and testing.  
Normal mode is the standard operating mode of the  
MCP2515. In this mode, the device actively monitors all  
bus messages and generates Acknowledge bits, error  
frames, etc. This is also the only mode in which the  
MCP2515 will transmit messages over the CAN bus.  
In this mode, the ACK bit is ignored and the device will  
allow incoming messages from itself just as if they were  
coming from another node. The Loopback mode is a  
silent mode, meaning no messages will be transmitted  
while in this state (including error flags or Acknowledge  
signals). The TXCAN pin will be in a recessive state.  
The filters and masks can be used to allow only  
particular messages to be loaded into the receive  
registers. The masks can be set to all zeros to provide  
a mode that accepts all messages. The Loopback  
mode is activated by setting the mode request bits in  
the CANCTRL register.

MCP2515  
the same as the READinstruction (i.e., sequential reads  
are possible). This instruction further reduces the SPI  
overhead by automatically clearing the associated  
receive flag (CANINTF.RXnIF) when CS is raised at the  
end of the command.  
12.0 SPI INTERFACE  
12.1 Overview  
The MCP2515 is designed to interface directly with the  
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) port available on many  
microcontrollers and supports Mode 0,0and Mode 1,1.  
Commands and data are sent to the device via the SI  
pin, with data being clocked in on the rising edge of  
SCK. Data is driven out by the MCP2515 (on the SO  
line) on the falling edge of SCK. The CS pin must be  
held low while any operation is performed. Table 12-1  
shows the instruction bytes for all operations. Refer to  
Figure 12-10 and Figure 12-11 for detailed input and  
output timing diagrams for both Mode 0,0 and Mode  
1,1operation.  
12.5 WRITEInstruction  
The WRITE instruction is started by lowering the CS  
pin. The WRITEinstruction is then sent to the MCP2515  
followed by the address and at least one byte of data.  
It is possible to write to sequential registers by  
continuing to clock in data bytes, as long as CS is held  
low. Data will actually be written to the register on the  
rising edge of the SCK line for the D0 bit. If the CS line  
is brought high before eight bits are loaded, the write  
will be aborted for that data byte and previous bytes in  
the command will have been written. Refer to the timing  
diagram in Figure 12-4 for a more detailed illustration of  
the byte write sequence.  
Note:  
The MCP2515 expects the first byte after  
lowering CS to be the instruction/  
command byte. This implies that CS must  
be raised and then lowered again to  
invoke another command.  
12.6 LOAD TX BUFFERInstruction  
12.2 RESETInstruction  
The LOAD TX BUFFERinstruction (Figure 12-5) elimi-  
nates the eight-bit address required by a normal Write  
command. The eight-bit instruction sets the Address  
Pointer to one of six addresses to quickly write to a  
transmit buffer that points to the “ID” or “data” address  
of any of the three transmit buffers.  
The RESET instruction can be used to re-initialize the  
internal registers of the MCP2515 and set Configuration  
mode. This command provides the same functionality,  
via the SPI interface, as the RESET pin.  
The RESET instruction is a single-byte instruction that  
requires selecting the device by pulling CS low,  
sending the instruction byte and then raising CS. It is  
highly recommended that the Reset command be sent  
(or the RESET pin be lowered) as part of the power-on  
initialization sequence.  
12.7 REQUEST-TO-SEND(RTS)  
Instruction  
The RTS command can be used to initiate message  
transmission for one or more of the transmit buffers.  
12.3 READInstruction  
The MCP2515 is selected by lowering the CS pin. The  
RTS command byte is then sent. Shown in Figure 12-6,  
the last 3 bits of this command indicate which transmit  
buffer(s) are enabled to send.  
The READinstruction is started by lowering the CS pin.  
The READ instruction is then sent to the MCP2515  
followed by the 8-bit address (A7 through A0). Next, the  
data stored in the register at the selected address will  
be shifted out on the SO pin.  
This command will set the TxBnCTRL.TXREQ bit for  
the respective buffer(s). Any or all of the last three bits  
can be set in a single command. If the RTS command  
is sent with nnn = 000, the command will be ignored.  
The internal Address Pointer is automatically  
incremented to the next address once each byte of  
data is shifted out. Therefore, it is possible to read the  
next consecutive register address by continuing to pro-  
vide clock pulses. Any number of consecutive register  
locations can be read sequentially using this method.  
The read operation is terminated by raising the CS pin  
(Figure 12-2).  
12.8 READ STATUSInstruction  
The READ STATUSinstruction allows single instruction  
access to some of the often used status bits for  
message reception and transmission.  
The MCP2515 is selected by lowering the CS pin and  
the Read Status command byte, shown in Figure 12-8,  
is sent to the MCP2515. Once the command byte is  
sent, the MCP2515 will return eight bits of data that  
contain the status.  
12.4 READ RX BUFFERInstruction  
The READ RX BUFFER instruction (Figure 12-3) pro-  
vides a means to quickly address a receive buffer for  
reading. This instruction reduces the SPI overhead by  
one byte, the address byte. The command byte actually  
has four possible values that determine the Address  
Pointer location. Once the command byte is sent, the  
controller clocks out the data at the address location  
If additional clocks are sent after the first eight bits are  
transmitted, the MCP2515 will continue to output the  
status bits as long as the CS pin is held low and clocks  
are provided on SCK.

DS21801G-page 65  
MCP2515  
Each status bit returned in this command may also be  
read by using the standard Read command with the  
appropriate register address.  
The part is selected by lowering the CS pin and the Bit  
Modify command byte is then sent to the MCP2515.  
The command is followed by the address of the  
register, the mask byte and finally the data byte.  
12.9 RX STATUSInstruction  
The mask byte determines which bits in the register will  
be allowed to change. A ‘1’ in the mask byte will allow  
a bit in the register to change, while a ‘0’ will not.  
The RX STATUS instruction (Figure 12-9) is used to  
quickly determine which filter matched the message  
and message type (standard, extended, remote). After  
the command byte is sent, the controller will return  
8 bits of data that contain the status data. If more clocks  
are sent after the eight bits are transmitted, the  
controller will continue to output the same status bits as  
long as the CS pin stays low and clocks are provided.  
The data byte determines what value the modified bits  
in the register will be changed to. A ‘1’ in the data byte  
will set the bit and a ‘0’ will clear the bit, provided that  
the mask for that bit is set to a ‘1’ (see Figure 12-7).

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:  
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.  
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the  
intended manner and under normal conditions.  
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our  
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data  
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.  
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.  
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not  
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”  
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our  
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts  
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
