| Microchip Technology Inc., known as The Embedded Control Solutions Company®, is enhancing its product portfolio by introducing the first member of its CAN Product Family. The MCP2510 Stand-alone CAN Controller is the smallest, easiest-to-use, CAN controller on the market today. Combining the MCP2510 with Microchips broad range of high-performance PICmicro® microcontrollers enables Microchip to support for virtually all of todays CAN-based applications. Other potential benefits of having a separate CAN controller include the ability for system designers to select from a much wider variety of microcontrollers for an optimal performance solution. Additional products are planned for Microchips CAN product portfolio including other CAN peripherals and a family of PICmicro® MCUs with integrated CAN support. |
