The LAN8720 is a high-performance, compact Ethernet PHY module supporting 10/100 Mbps speeds, ideal for integrating into microcontrollers like the ESP32 and STM32 for wired network applications. It offers low power consumption, broad voltage range, and energy-saving features, suitable for efficient, reliable network connectivity in IoT, industrial, and automation projects.
Integrating the LAN8720 Ethernet module with ESP32 using Core 3 brings native Ethernet protocol support, including SSL/TLS, enhancing wired network applications. This guide details the setup and highlights minimal changes from Core 2, noting that the RMII protocol is not supported on the ESP32-S3.
This integration involves connecting the LAN8720 Ethernet module with the ESP32 microcontroller to enable wired network connectivity. The process includes configuring the ESP32 to recognize and communicate through the LAN8720 module, ensuring compatibility with both plain text (HTTP) and encrypted (HTTPS) SSL data transmissions.
