Hi there, =20 For a project where the PIC will not handle TCP stack by itself, we need a SPI or 8bit parallel bus controlled IC with internal support for MAC, PHY and TCP stack support with IPv4 and UDP. Requirements for speed are not high, 10Mbps is just fine.=20 =20 A nice-to-have but not mandatory would be if the IC includes PoE DC/DC support with minimal external parts. =20 In our initial searches it looks like WIZnet W5200 or W5500 are the best choices for the task, with no specific PoE support. Do you guys have experience with these ICs or have a better suggestion price/performance for 1K pcs?
