W5500 Ethernet Module — SPI, Hardwired TCP/IP

W5500 Ethernet Module — SPI, Hardwired TCP/IP

The W5500 Ethernet module adds wired 10/100Mbps Ethernet connectivity to any microcontroller with an SPI interface. The W5500 chip features a hardwired TCP/IP stack — handling TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE in hardware, offloading the host MCU from network processing. Supports 8 independent sockets simultaneously. Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and any 3.3V/5V SPI microcontroller.

Key Specifications
