Replace the MCP2551-I/SN If all troubleshooting steps have been followed and the overvoltage protection failure persists, the MCP2551-I/SN transceiver itself may be damaged. In such cases, it is advisable to replace the faulty device with a new one. ConclusionOvervoltage protection failures in the MCP2551-I/SN can be caused by a variety of factors, including excessive input voltage, grounding issues, faulty external components, EMI , and temperature variations. By following the outlined troubleshooting steps, you can identify the root cause and take corrective actions to restore proper functionality. Always ensure that the device is operated within the specified voltage and environmental limits to prevent future failures.
