W5100 10/100Mbps SPI Ethernet Module

Overview

The W5100 is a full-featured, single-chip 10/100Mbps ethernet controller (PHY) designed for embedded applications where ease of integration, stability, performance, area, and system cost control are required.

The W5100 has been designed to facilitate the easy implementation of Internet connectivity without OS. The W5100 is IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant.

The W5100 includes fully hardwired, market-proven TCP/IP stack and integrated Ethernet MAC & PHY. Hardwired TCP/IP stack supports TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE which has been proven in various applications for several years. A 16Kbytes (2KB) internal buffer is included for data transmission and receival.

Simple socket programming may be required depending on the platform used.
