What boards using the W5500 are built for
W5500: common questions
Where can I find a W5500 reference design?
Each of the 27 boards on this page is a real design using the W5500. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
What parts are used alongside the W5500?
The USBLC6-2SC6, RP2040, W25Q128JVS, AMS1117-3.3 and AP63203WU-7 appear in the most repositories here.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the W5500 use?
Most are built on RP2040/RP2350 (8), ESP32 (6), STM32 (3) and Microchip SAM (2).
How big is a typical board using the W5500?
The median is 93.9 × 72.1 mm, and 58% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the W5500?
By GitHub stars, Ethersweep by Neumi, with 585 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the W5500 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
