How to Teach Ethernet Hardware Wiring with WIZnet W5500 on MCU Education Boards? Summary This education-focused hardware article explains how to teach wired Ethernet design with WIZnet W5500 on MCU education boards using an external-transformer reference circuit. The GitCode project is a W5500 independent-transformer schematic resource: it describes a W5500-to-MCU SPI connection and an Ethernet output stage that uses a separate transformer instead of being limited to a common RJ45 connector with integrated magnetics. W5500 provides the Ethernet MAC/PHY, hardwired TCP/IP stack, socket engine…
