WIZ-IP55
WIZ-IP55

WIZ-IP55 is a network offloading module that integrates the W5500 chip (with built-in PHY physical layer and TCP/IP hardware protocol stack) and an RJ45 connector with integrated network transformer. As a plug-and-play component, it enables seamless interface connection between the W5500 and the transformer without the need for additional circuit design.
For users who wish to quickly develop networked systems, WIZ-IP55 is an ideal choice.

P2
| Pin | Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | I | MOSI | SPI Master-Out / Slave-In |
| 2 | I | INTn | Interrupt output (low-active) — indicates socket events like connection, disconnection, data reception, and WOL |
| 3 | I | RSTn | Hardware reset input (active low, ≥ 500 µs) |
| 4 | I | SCL | IIC clock line |
| 5 | I | SDA | IIC data cable |
| 6 | O | LINK | Network connection LED signal |
| 7 | – | LED2- | Connect to LINK |
| 8 | – | LED2+ | Connect in series with resistor to VCC |
Wait at least 50 ms after RSTn goes high before SPI communication.
