W5500 Ethernet Shield for Arduino

Now available from PMD Way is this higher-performance Ethernet shield for your Arduino Uno, Mega and compatible boards - based on the Wiznet W5500 Ethernet controller IC.

Please note! We also offer an Arduino Uno R3-compatible board with inbuilt W5500 Ethernet - click here to learn more.

The W5500 suits users in need of stable Internet connectivity best, using a single chip to implement TCP/IP Stack, 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY.The hardwired TCP/IP stack supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE, …, which has been proven through various applications over many years. 

W5500 uses a 32Kbytes internal buffer as its data communication memory. By using W5500, users can implement the Ethernet application they need by using a simple socket program instead of handling a complex Ethernet Controller.

It is possible to use 8 independent hardware sockets simultaneously. SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is provided for easy integration with the external MCU.

The W5500 SPI supports 80 MHz speed and the new efficient SPI protocol, so users can implement high speed network communication. In order to reduce power consumption of the system, W5500 provides WOL (Wake on LAN) and a power down mode.

Arduino users - Use the W5500 library instead of the Ethernet library.
