Wiznet makers

W5500 Embedded Ethernet

The first time I saw the WizNet brand was when I opened a PLC. I remembered it from that time. After a while, when a job requiring embedded ethernet came to my desk, I thought of this brand and after a little research I decided to use the W5500 chip. I have used this chip in three projects so far and I will share my experiences here.

Before the W5500, I had also implemented ethernet with processors that had a MAC module on them. My personal opinion is that working with an external integrated solution like the W5500 is more flexible and comfortable.
