Ethernet Shield for Arduino - W5200

Enhance your Arduino device by seamlessly connecting it to the Internet with our Ethernet Shield, designed with the robust W5200 Ethernet Chip. This practical shield allows for an easy setup: simply place it onto your Arduino UNO or Mega board, link it to your network using an RJ45 Ethernet Cable, and follow straightforward instructions. You'll soon be navigating the vast possibilities offered by an Internet connection.

In addition to facilitating internet connectivity, the shield features a microSD card port for ample data storage, perfect for hosting webpage data or involved projects. The W5200 chip, a Hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet controller, simplifies Internet connections through its SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), making it an ideal choice for applications requiring single-chip TCP/IP stack implementation.

Boasting a reliable, hardwired TCP/IP stack, the W5200 supports a wide range of protocols, including TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE. This proven technology has consistently delivered results across numerous applications. With its 32Kbytes internal buffer for data communication, the W5200 automates Ethernet application creation via simple socket programs, eliminating the need for intricate Ethernet Controller management.

For effortless integration, the SPI interface connects the W5200 to external microcontrollers using just four pins, allowing for compact system designs regardless of I/O pin limitations. Importantly, the W5200 offers Wake on LAN and power-down modes to minimize power usage. To activate Wake on LAN, the W5200 awaits a magic packet, a specific Raw Ethernet packet, ensuring efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
