Serial Ethernet Additional Board
The Serial Ethernet additional board is used to connect a microcontroller to the Ethernet network. It features an on-board Ethernet
controller ENC28J60 that exchanges data with microcontrollers via a standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) at a data rate of up
to 10 Mbit/s. It serves as an Ethernet interface for all microcontrollers supplied with SPI. There are three 10-pin IDC connectors
marked SPI-dsPIC, SPI-AVR-8051 and SPI-PIC provided on the additional board. They enable the board to be connected to one
of Mikroelektronika’s development systems intended for work with dsPIC, PIC, AVR and 8051 microcontrollers. In addition to these
connectors, the board also features a single-line 10-pin connector whose pins are connected to the ENC28J60’s SPI communication
lines. This connector enables the additional board to be connected to other microcontroller families.
