W5500 Ethernet Shield

Overview

  • Arduino Pin-compatible
  • ARM mbed compatible operation
  • Ethernet (W5500 Hardwired TCP/IP chip)

W5500 Ethernet shield is designed using the WIZnet W5500 chip. Please click the link for the further information about W5500. It supports both 3.3V & 5V. This Ethernet Shield is compatible with Arduino and ARM mbed Platform.

Hardware Configuration

  • RJ-45 with Transformer : Ethernet Port
  • W5500 : a Hardwired TCP/IP Ethernet Controller
  • RESET : Reset Ethernet shield and Arduino when pressed
  • SD-Slot : support Micro SD card in FAT16 or FAT32 ; (Please read 'Caution' below)

Pins usage on Arduino & ARM mbed

W5500 Ethernet Shield Pin out

W5500 Ethernet shield has several configurable GPIOs

  • When you operate it with other modules, you may need to change 'Chip Select' pin to a different one.
  • W5500 INTn pin is linked to D2 (2,3 Short). So, if you need INTn pin. You soldering to 0R Resistor to Dx pin

Caution) When the user uses 5V Platform, we cannot confirm a stable operation of SD-CARD. Therefore, though 5V Platform is safe to use after going through enough tests, it is highly recommended to mount buffer & 100nF Capacitor for a secure operation.

SPI Operation & Timing Diagram

There is a W5500 inside W5500 Ethernet shield. Therefore SPI operation & Timing Diagram of Ethernet shield follows one of W5500. For more information about W5500 chip please also refer to the chip's datasheet:
