This is the miniature version of the standard W5500 breakout board. It is much smaller but lacks the voltage regulator. It must be supplied with 3.3V. Only the SPI data pins are 5V tolerant.
This board is often marked with the label HW-884.
Other than that, the breakout board is fully compatible with the normal-sized breakout board as both are based on the same fast and performant W5500 controller chip. The chip supports up to eight sockets, comes with hardware-implemented TCP/IP-stack and Wake-On-LAN. Like most Ethernet breakout boards, it supports IPv4 only.
This board is one of the smallest available. It is also known as W5500 Lite.
Operating Voltage
The operating voltage is 3.3V.
To operate this breakout board with a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use the 3.3V pin on the microcontroller board for power supply. Since this board requires 200mA, make sure the voltage regulator on your microcontroller board supplies enough current. The SPI interface is 5V tolerant and can be directly connected with a 5V microcontroller SPI interface. A dedicated level shifter is not mandatory.
Technical Data
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage | 3.3V (5V tolerant) |
| Frequency | 80MHz |
| Cache Buffer | 32KB |
| Speed | 10/100MBps |
| Current | 200mA |
| Chip Set | W5500 |
| Sockets | 8 |
| Protocols | TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, ARP, IGMP, PPPoE |
| Interface | SPI (80MHz) |
| Size | 28.5x23.5x15mm |
The board supports Wake on LAN (WOL) via UDP. It does not support IP framentation.
Pins
The board comes with six pins on each size, 12 pins in total.
The pins are labeled on the top of the board, next to the Ethernet connector.
Left side:
| Pin | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | Ground |
| 2 | G | Ground |
| 3 | MO | MOSI, SPI-Interface |
| 4 | SCK | SCLK, SPI-Interface |
| 5 | CS | SPI-Interface |
| 6 | INT | Interrupt |
Right side:
| Pin | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | GND | Ground |
| 8 | V | +3.3V |
| 9 | V | +3.3V |
| 10 | NC | not connected |
| 11 | RST | Reset |
| 12 | MI | MISO, SPI-Interface |
RST is the reset pin (low active). and INT is the W5500 interrupt output pin.
SPI pins are 5V tolerant. The V pins require 3.3V.
LED
The board comes with two LED:
- Activity (yellow): bright (carrier signal with physical connection), dim (just carrier signal)
- Link (green): lit when connected

Here is how your comments are stored
Whenever you leave a comment, a new github issue is created on your behalf.
-
All comments become trackable issues in the Github Issues section, and I (and you) can follow up on them.
-
There is no third-party provider, no disrupting ads, and everything remains transparent inside github.
Github Users Yes, Spammers No
To keep spammers out and comments attributable, all you do is log in using your (free) github account and grant utteranc.es the permission to submit issues on your behalf.
If you don’t have a github account yet, go get yourself one - it’s free and simple.
If for any reason you do not feel comfortable with letting the commenting system submit issues for you, then visit Github Issues directly, i.e. by clicking the red button Submit Issue at the bottom of each page, and submit your issue manually. You control everything.
Discussions
For chit-chat and quick questions, feel free to visit and participate in Discussions. They work much like classic forums or bulletin boards. Just keep in mind: your valued input isn’t equally well trackable there.
