The DV250501 is a MCP250XX evaluation, demonstration and development tool 14 pin CAN I/O Expanders. The MCP250XX can be evaluated easily by installing the provided software and running the demonstration program. Furthermore, development can be accomplished by utilizing the bare CAN node with the prototyping area, as well as with the On board device programmer. The development board has the ability to program the user defined defaults by using the device programmer module and the supplied software. Alternatively, the In Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) protocol can be used to program the MCP250XX using the 5 pin header, which is connected to a 14 pin socket on the board.
