The ETH Click Board™ from MikroE adds Ethernet functionality to your project. This accessory board is provided with a 28-pin, 10BASE-T stand-alone Ethernet controller, ENC28J60 by Microchip. Compliant with all of the IEEE 802.3 specifications, the ENC28J60 chip uses the industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The board also employs a Medium Access Controller (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) that provides additional functionality. The ETH Click Board™ has an 8-Kbyte transmit/receive packet dual-port SRAM with configurable transmit/receive buffer size. The board communicates with the host controller through an interrupt pin and the SPI communication lines with clock rates of up to 20 MHz. The ENC28J60 aboard ETH Click Board™ supports programmable automatic retransmit on collision as well as programmable automatic rejection of erroneous packet. The ETH Click Board™ includes a standard RJ-45 connector and LEDs for transmitting, receive and power. The integrated crystal oscillator ensures stable operation. It is designed to operate with a 3.3V power supply only.
The ETH Click Board™ is highly suitable for applications including VoIP, industrial automation, building automation, home control, security and instrumentation.
