FAQ
Q: Is the MCP2561 5 V or 3.3 V?
A: The MCP2561 operates from 5 V. For 3.3 V CAN, consider the SN65HVD23x family.
Q: Does it support CAN FD?
A: The base MCP2561 supports up to 1 Mbps; the MCP2561FD variant adds CAN FD up to 8 Mbps — confirm the exact variant with the datasheet.
Q: Which packages are available?
A: PDIP-8, SOIC-8, and DFN-8 are common; specify your required package when ordering.
