W5500
Overview
The W5500 is a hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet controller designed to provide easy internet connectivity to embedded systems using a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It features a reinforced stack that supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE protocols, significantly reducing the overhead on the host microcontroller.
Why Choose This Part
The hardware-based TCP/IP stack offloads network processing from the host MCU, allowing low-end microcontrollers to handle high-speed Ethernet traffic. It supports up to 8 independent sockets simultaneously and features a power-down mode and Wake-on-LAN to optimize energy efficiency.
Applications
Getting Started
Engineers typically begin evaluation using the W5500-EVB-Pico or the WIZ850io module. Integration involves connecting the SPI bus to a host MCU and using the WIZnet ioLibrary, which is compatible with many C-based environments and the Arduino Ethernet library.
