The vast majority of PICs need a CAN interface chip amd I think they
are coming out with or already have a high-end PIC with built in CAN. The
latest selector quide has lists the new MCP2510 CAN interface chip haven't

seen any pricing or availabilty yet. We use the PIC16C66 with an Intel
82527
in our CAN232 product.
