Product description: LAN Module 13.2 - communication module - W5500 - for M5Core development modules - M5Stack M136
The LAN Module 13.2 is a compact and functional communication module based on the W5500 chip – a hardware TCP/IP controller with SPI support. The module enables rapid implementation of Ethernet connections in microcontroller designs without the need for a network stack implementation in code. It supports TCP, UDP, and IPv4 protocols and has an internal data buffer for efficient packet management. An isolated mains transformer protects the module from electromagnetic interference and ensures connection security. The LAN Module 13.2 is powered via a DC jack (9V to 24V) and a DC-DC converter , allowing for stable operation in a variety of power conditions. A built-in jumper allows for selecting the active chip and simultaneous use of two modules for dual Ethernet connections.
