•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

USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 1. Product Overview
1.1OVERVIEW
This chapter provides an overview of the MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board and
covers the following topics:
•Overview
• What is the MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board?
• What the MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board kit includes.
1.2WHAT IS THE MCP25625 PICTAIL PLUS DAUGHTER BOARD?
The MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board is a simple Controller Area Network
(CAN) board designed to be used with boards containing the PICtail Plus connector.
The board also has the PICkit Serial connector for interfacing to the PICkit Serial
Analyzer tool.
The single-chip solution CAN node consists of the MCP25625 CAN Controller with
Integrated Transceiver. The PICkit Plus and PICkit Serial connectors allow the board
to be interfaced to a variety of PIC
CAN node.
The board also contains headers or test points for most of the MCP25625 pins to allow
the external functions to be monitored/evaluated. Additionally, there are multiple external components and jumper configurations for added flexibility.

Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
2.1HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board can be connected to either a PIC microcontroller or a development board with the PICkit Plus connector or the PICkit Serial
connector. Figure 2-1 below shows the connections to the Explorer 16 Development
Board (DM240001).

• Drives the STBY pin of the transceiver to GND manually or via the
Explorer 16 demo board when used as PICTail™ daughter board
(plugged into the Explorer 16).
• Short-circuit pins 1 and 2 (top and middle) to connect to GND, or pins 2
and 3 (middle and bottom) to connect to the Explorer 16.
Default configuration: pins 1 and 2 (top and middle) short-circuited.
• Powers-up the CAN Controller with 5V or 3.3V. It also feeds the VIO of
the transceiver; this voltage is determined by the MCU that the user
implements (5V or 3.3V).
• Short-circuit pins 1 and 2 (left-hand side) to select 5V, or pins 2 and 3
(right-hand side) to select 3.3V.
Default configuration selects 5V operation mode.

2.4OPERATION
The user can write firmware for the MCP25625 PICtail Plus Daughter Board in order
to create a custom CAN node. Check the Explorer 16 and PICkit Serial Analyzer web
pages for the latest firmware and/or software supporting the MCP25625 or general
SPI interfaces.
