Product Introduction
The W5500 chip is a Hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet controller that provides easier Internet connection to embedded systems. W5500 enables users to have the Internet connectivity in their applications just by using the single chip in which TCP/IP stack, 10/100 Ethernet MAC and PHY embedded.
WIZnet‘s Hardwired TCP/IP is the market-proven technology that supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE protocols. W5500 embeds the 32Kbyte internal memory buffer for the Ethernet packet processing. If you use W5500, you can implement the Ethernet application just by adding the simple socket program. It’s faster and easier way rather than using any other Embedded Ethernet solution. Users can use 8 independent hardware sockets simultaneously.
SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is provided for easy integration with the external MCU. The W5500’s SPI supports 80 MHz speed and new efficient SPI protocol for the high speed network communication. In order to reduce power consumption of the system, W5500 provides WOL (Wake on LAN) and power down mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the W5500 Compatible With 5V Microcontrollers?
Yes. The W5500 operates on a 3.3V supply but its I/O pins are 5V tolerant, so it can interface directly with 5V microcontrollers (such as traditional Arduino boards) without external logic level shifters
In What Application Scenarios Is the W5500 Typically Used?
The W5500 is commonly used in home network devices (set-top boxes, PVRs, digital media adapters), serial-to-Ethernet and parallel-to-Ethernet converters, USB-to-Ethernet and GPIO-to-Ethernet adapters, security systems (DVRs, network cameras, kiosks), factory and building automation, medical monitoring equipment, and embedded servers.
What Core Network Protocols and Memory Does the W5500 Support?
The W5500 has a hardwired TCP/IP stack supporting TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE. It includes 32KB of internal memory for Ethernet packet buffering, supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX speeds, and can manage up to 8 independent hardware sockets simultaneously.
