ENC 28J60 HR911105A Ethernet LAN Network Module Microcontroller Development Board

The ENC28J60 Ethernet Module is a compact way to add Ethernet networking capabilities to your project. It uses the ENC28J60 chip, which integrates a MAC controller, PHY transceiver, and buffer memory, all in a single chip. This allows microcontrollers without built-in Ethernet to connect to a network using the SPI communication protocol. Typical applications include enabling data logging, building web servers, or creating simple network communication devices.

Utilizes the new SSOP package Microchip ENC28J60 Stand-Alone Ethernet Controller IC featuring a host of features to handle most of network protocol requirements. The board connects directly to most microcontrollers with a standard SPI interface with a transfer speed of up to 25MHz.

ENC28J60: 12 Pins

Microcontroller Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) - for communication with the host microcontroller
Operating Voltage: 3.3V
MAC Address: Integrated - a unique identifier assigned to the device for network communication
Ethernet Compatibility: 10BASE-T Ethernet - supports the most common Ethernet standard for 10Mbps speeds
Internal Buffer: 64KB - for storing incoming and outgoing data packets

ENC28J60: 10 Pins

Microcontroller Interface: SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) - for communication with the host microcontroller
Operating Voltage: 3.3V
MAC Address: Integrated - a unique identifier assigned to the device for network communication
Ethernet Compatibility: 10BASE-T Ethernet - supports the most common Ethernet standard for 10Mbps speeds
Internal Buffer: Limited compared to 12-pin versions (might be 8KB or less) due to fewer pins
