W5100S-EVB-Pico

by WIZnet

The W5100S-EVB-Pico is a microcontroller evaluation board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller chip and full hardwired TCP/IP controller W5100S chip.

The W5100S-EVB-Pico has the same role as the Raspberry Pi Pico platform and includes W5100S, so Ethernet is included.

Hardware Specification

W5100S-EVB-Pico pinout is directly connected to the GPIO of RP2040 as shown in the picture above. It has the same pinout as the Raspberry Pi Pico board. However, GPIO16, GPIO17, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO20, GPIO21 are connected to W5100S inside the board. These pins enable SPI communication with W5100S to use Ethernet function. If you are using the Ethernet function, these pins cannot be used for any other purpose.

The RP2040 GPIO used inside W5100S-EVB-Pico is as follows.

I/O Pin Name Description
I GPIO16 Connected to MISO on W5100S
O GPIO17 Connected to CSn on W5100S
O GPIO18 Connected to SCLK on W5100S
O GPIO19 Connected to MOSI on W5100S
O GPIO20 Connected to RSTn on W5100S
I GPIO21 Connected to INTn on W5100S
I GPIO24 VBUS sense - high if VBUS is present, else low
O GPIO25 Connected to user LED
I GPIO29 Used in ADC mode (ADC3) to measure VSYS/3

Apart from GPIO and ground pins, there are 7 other pins on the main 40-pin interface:

Pin No. Pin Name Description
PIN40 VBUS Micro-USB input voltage, connected to micro-USB port pin 1. Nominally 5V.
PIN39 VSYS Main system input voltage, which can vary in the allowed range 4.3V to 5.5V, and is used by the on-board LDO to generate the 3.3V .
PIN37 3V3_EN Connects to the on-board LDO enable pin. To disable the 3.3V (which also de-powers the RP2040 and W5100S), short this pin low.
PIN36 3V3 Main 3.3V supply to RP2040 and W5100S, generated by the on-board LDO.
PIN35 ADC_VREF ADC power supply (and reference) voltage, and is generated on W5100S-EVB-Pici by filtering the 3.3V supply.
PIN33 AGND Ground reference for GPIO26-29.
PIN30 RUN RP2040 enable pin, To reset RP2040, short this pin low.
