With internet in mind, one can think about many applications, below a few applications are listed: Figure 5 below shows our board setup: Curiosity development board with ETH Click connected to router.įigure 5: Curiosity development board with ETH Click connected to router Board is designed to use 3.3V power supply only. On-board crystal oscillator ensures stable operation. It features ENC28J60 and contains standard RJ-45 connector, transmit, receive and power LEDs. The ETH Click is an accessory board in mikroBus™ form factor.

The ETH Click board can also be used with any development board with mikroBus like the Curiosity Development board.
#MPLAB XC8 OPTIMIZATION SERIAL#
This board is equipped with an EC28J60 Ethernet controller chip, a 74HCT245 voltage translation chip, three LEDs, a 5 to 3.3 voltage regulator and an RJ45 connector with an integrated transformer.įigure 4: Connecting the Serial Ethernet Board to EasyPIC7 V7 development board This is a small board that plugs in directly to PORTC of the EasyPI CV7 development board via a 10-way IDC plug simplifying the development of embedded Ethernet projects. Figure 4 belows shows the the mikroElektronika Serial Ethernet Board.

To make the design of Ethernet applications easy, there are ready made boards that include the EC28J60 controller, voltage translation chip and an RJ45 connector. Figure 3 below shows how the ENC28J60 Ethernet controller can be interfaced to a PIC Microcontroller.įigure 3: ENC28J60 Ethernet Controller Connections The Ethernet controller chip operates at 3.3V, its output SO pin cannot drive the microcontroller input pin without a voltage translator if the microcontroller is operated at 5V. The interface between the microcontroller and the Ethernet chip is based on the SPI bus protocol, The SI, SO, and SCK pins of the Ethernet chip are connected to SPI pins ( SDO, SDI and SCLK) of the microcontroller. The figures below show ENC28J60 package types More information can be obtained from the ENC28J60 datasheet. Temperature Range: -40☌ to +85☌ Industrial, 0☌ to +70☌ Commercial (SSOP only).
