## Article

The linked content is a comprehensive review of the W5500 Hardwired TCP/IP Embedded Ethernet Controller. The W5500 chip is a hardwired TCP/IP integrated Ethernet controller that simplifies the process of connecting embedded systems to the internet. It combines a TCP/IP stack, a 10/100 Ethernet MAC, and a PHY into a single chip.

The W5500 is ideal for customers requiring reliable internet connectivity. It supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE through its hardwired TCP/IP stack. The chip has a 32Kbyte internal buffer for data transmission memory.

The W5500 has various technical specifications, including an operating temperature of -40°C~85°C, a supply voltage of 3.3V, 48 terminals, and CMOS technology. It also supports an SPI interface and has an operating supply current of 132mA.

The W5500 can be used in a wide range of applications, including factory and building automation, medical monitoring equipment, embedded servers, home network devices, and security systems.

The W5500 is less expensive, performs better, and has eight sockets, making it a better choice for a web server. However, if RST packets are a significant concern, the W5100 might be a better choice.

You can find more detailed information, including diagrams and technical details, in the original article.
