Hardware Specification
Pin-out
W5500-EVB-Pico2 pinout is directly connected to the GPIO of RP2350 as shown in the picture above. It has the same pinout as the Raspberry Pi Pico2 board. However, GPIO16, GPIO17, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO20, GPIO21 are connected to W5500 inside the board. These pins enable SPI communication with W5500 to use Ethernet function. If you are using the Ethernet function, these pins cannot be used for any other purpose.
The RP2350 GPIO used inside W5500-EVB-Pico is as follows.
| I/O | Pin Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| I | GPIO16 | Connected to MISO on W5500 |
| O | GPIO17 | Connected to CSn on W5500 |
| O | GPIO18 | Connected to SCLK on W5500 |
| O | GPIO19 | Connected to MOSI on W5500 |
| O | GPIO20 | Connected to RSTn on W5500 |
| I | GPIO21 | Connected to INTn on W5500 |
| I | GPIO24 | VBUS sense - high if VBUS is present, else low |
| O | GPIO25 | Connected to user LED |
| I | GPIO29 | Used in ADC mode (ADC3) to measure VSYS/3 |
Apart from GPIO and ground pins, there are 7 other pins on the main 40-pin interface:
| Pin No. | Pin Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PIN40 | VBUS | Micro-USB input voltage, connected to micro-USB port pin 1. Nominally 5V. |
| PIN39 | VSYS | Main system input voltage, which can vary in the allowed range 4.3V to 5.5V, and is used by the on-board LDO to generate the 3.3V . |
| PIN37 | 3V3_EN | Connects to the on-board LDO enable pin. To disable the 3.3V (which also de-powers the RP2350 and W5500), short this pin low. |
| PIN36 | 3V3 | Main 3.3V supply to RP2350 and W5500, generated by the on-board LDO. |
| PIN35 | ADC_VREF | ADC power supply (and reference) voltage, and is generated on W5500-EVB-Pico by filtering the 3.3V supply. |
| PIN33 | AGND | Ground reference for GPIO26-29. |
| PIN30 | RUN | RP2350 enable pin, To reset RP2350, short this pin low. |
Operation Condition
