Yeah, don't use their CAN interface IC's either. Exact same complaint.

In general, I now avoid Microchip like the plague. Which means I now avoid Atmel, Micrel, SMSC, etc. <cries>

What chips do you use then?

[bsder]

Generally I will go for a built-in CAN controller on a microcontroller. Those generally work fine.

Brands? A lot of TI and ST.
