Interface

ETH Click is a compact add-on board that manages the communications between the system’s digital processing and an Ethernet interface. This board features the ENC28J60, a stand-alone Ethernet controller with an industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) from Microchip, designed to serve as an Ethernet network interface for any host MCU. The ENC28J60 meets all the IEEE 802.3 specifications and incorporates several packet filtering schemes to limit incoming packets. It also provides an internal DMA module for fast data throughput and hardware-assisted checksum calculation used in various network protocols alongside two LEDs for link and network activity indication. This Click board™ is suitable for industrial automation, home control, security and instrumentation applications, and many more.

ETH Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.

ETH 3 Click is a compact add-on board that contains Ethernet Controller & PHY for embedded applications. This board features the LAN9250, a fully featured 10/100 Ethernet controller that provides performance, flexibility, ease of integration, and system cost control from Microchip Technology. It complies with the IEEE802.3 (Full/Half-Duplex 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX) Ethernet protocol, IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)(100Mbps only), and the IEEE 1588v2 precision time protocol. It also includes an integrated Ethernet MAC and PHY with a high-performance SRAM-like slave interface and large transmit and receive data FIFOs to accommodate high latency applications. This Click board™ is suitable for industrial automation systems, cable, satellite, and IP set-top boxes, VoIP/Video phone systems, home gateways, test and measurement equipment, and more.
