Pin Details

Pin Marking	Pin Name	Description
BOOT	BOOT	Select boot from SPI or from UART.
MISO	Master In Slave Out	Output of SPI data from the module to the SPI master/host.
CLK	SPI Clock	Input of SPI clock signal generated by the SPI master/host.
MOSI	Master Out Slave In	Input SPI data from the master/host to the module.
CS	SPI Chip Select	Input of the SPI slave-select from the SPI master/host.
EN	Chip Enable	Chip power on.
RDY	SPI Ready	Data ready to be transimtted to the host processor.
TX	UART TX	UART TX line from ST67W611M1 point of view.
RX	UART RX	UART RX line from ST67W611M1 point of view.
GND	Ground	Common ground for power and signals.
3V3	Power	Supply voltage.

ℹ️

The UART interface uses two pins (RX and TX) and is configured as follows:

• Full-duplex asynchronous communication
• Data bit lenght: 8 bits
• Stop bit lenght: 1 bit
• Parity: None
• Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS): None
• Baud rate: 2000000 bauds

ℹ️

• The SPI bus is configured in full-duplex slave mode with three signals: SPI_CLK, SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO. -The SPI_RDY pin is present adns used by the ST67W611M1 as an interrupt towards the host processor.
• The SPI_CS can also be use as a wake-up signal from the host processor.
• Maximum SPI frequency: 40 MHz

Hardware repository

Schematics, KiCad files, Gerber files, and more can be found in the GitHub repository:

CAN Transceiver MCP2518 board Hardware Design

Hardware design, BOM, gerbers and 3D files for CAN-Transceiver-MCP2518-board designed by Soldered Electronics.

The hardware repository contains everything you need to understand, modify, or manufacture the board. The different output folders are versioned. You can check which board version you have by finding the version mark on the PCB.

Below is an overview of the available files.

CAD files

We use KiCad, an open-source PCB design tool. You can open and edit the .kicad_pro project file, which includes both the schematic and PCB layout.

The PANEL files are used internally for production.

Schematic

The OUTPUTS folder contains the schematic in .pdf format, exported from KiCad.

BOM (Bill of Materials)

The bill of materials (BOM) is provided in two formats:

• A standard .csv table, listing all components, part numbers, and values.
• An interactive BOM (.html) that visually highlights each component on the PCB, making it easy to locate and reference parts.

3D files

A 3D model of the PCB is available in .step format, allowing you to inspect the board design in CAD software.

Gerber files

Gerber files are essential for PCB manufacturing, as they contain precise instructions for each layer of the board. The repository includes standard Gerber outputs in a .zip file, such as:

• Copper layers (.Cu.gbr) – Defines the traces and pads on the board.
• Solder mask layers (.Mask.gbr) – Specifies the protective solder mask.
• Silkscreen layers (.Silkscreen.gbr) – Contains text and component markings.
• Paste layers (.Paste.gbr) – Used for stencil fabrication in SMD assembly.
• Drill files (.drl) – Provides drilling coordinates for vias and holes.
• Board outline (.Edge_Cuts.gbr) – Defines the shape of the PCB.
• Gerber job file (.gbrjob) – Describes the set of Gerber files used for production.

These files are ready for fabrication and can be used in PCB manufacturing.

Compliance

The Compliance section includes important regulatory and safety documentation for this product. These files ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and legal requirements.

• CE – Certification document confirming compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements.
• UKCA – UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) certification for the UK market.
• Safety Instructions – Safety guidelines and precautions in English and in German.
• Info.txt – Contains product details such as SKU, country of origin, HS tariff code, and barcode.
