W5500 from WIZNET, in a LQFP-48(7x7). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 TXN output TXP/TXN differential transmit signal pair to the media (Ethernet magnetics). Analog output.
2 TXP output TXP/TXN differential transmit signal pair to the media (Ethernet magnetics). Analog output.
3 AGND power_in Analog ground.
4 AVDD power_in Analog 3.3V power supply.
5 RXN input RXP/RXN differential receive signal pair from the media. Analog input.
6 RXP input RXP/RXN differential receive signal pair from the media. Analog input.
7 DNC unconnected Do Not Connect pin. Leave unconnected on the PCB.
8 AVDD power_in Analog 3.3V power supply.
9 AGND power_in Analog ground.
10 EXRES1 passive External reference resistor pin. Connect a 12.4 kΩ, 1% resistor from this pin to analog ground (AGND) to bias internal analog circuits.
11 AVDD power_in Analog 3.3V power supply.
12 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating.
13 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating.
14 AGND power_in Analog ground.
15 AVDD power_in Analog 3.3V power supply.
16 AGND power_in Analog ground.
17 AVDD power_in Analog 3.3V power supply.
18 VBG output Band-gap output voltage; measures ~1.2V at 25°C. Must be left floating.
19 AGND power_in Analog ground.
20 TOCAP passive External reference capacitor pin. Connect a 4.7 µF capacitor to ground with a short trace to stabilize internal analog signals.
21 AVDD power_in Analog 3.3V power supply.
22 1V2O power_out 1.2V internal regulator output. Must be connected to a 10 nF decoupling capacitor to ground.
23 RSVD input Reserved pin. Must be tied to GND. Internal pull-down.
24 SPDLED output Speed status LED. Low = 100 Mbps link, High = 10 Mbps link.
25 LINKLED output Link status LED. Low = link established, High = link not established.
26 DUPLED output Duplex status LED. Low = full-duplex, High = half-duplex.
27 ACTLED output Activity LED, driven low when carrier sense (CRS) is detected from the active PMD during TX or RX activity.
28 VDD power_in Digital 3.3V power supply.
29 GND power_in Digital ground.
30 XI/CLKIN input Crystal input for a 25 MHz crystal or single-ended TTL clock input (3.3V). When driven by an external clock, XO must be left unconnected.
31 XO output 25 MHz crystal output. Float this pin if driving XI/CLKIN with an external oscillator.
32 SCSn input SPI chip-select (active low). Assert low to select the W5500 on the SPI bus. Internal pull-up.
33 SCLK input SPI clock input from the SPI master. Supports up to 80 MHz.
34 MISO tri_state SPI master-in / slave-out (W5500 data output). Drives data when SCSn is low; high-impedance when SCSn is high.
35 MOSI input SPI master-out / slave-in (W5500 data input) from the SPI master.
36 INTn output Interrupt output (active low). Low = interrupt asserted from W5500; High = no interrupt.
37 RSTn input Hardware reset input (active low). Must be held low for at least 500 µs to reset the W5500. Internal pull-up.
38 RSVD input Reserved pin (internal pull-down). Marked NC; leave unconnected.
39 RSVD input Reserved pin (internal pull-down). Marked NC; leave unconnected.
40 RSVD input Reserved pin (internal pull-down). Marked NC; leave unconnected.
41 RSVD input Reserved pin (internal pull-down). Marked NC; leave unconnected.
42 RSVD input Reserved pin (internal pull-down). Marked NC; leave unconnected.
43 PMODE2 input PHY operation mode select bit 2. PMODE[2:0] selects speed/duplex and auto-negotiation configuration (e.g. 111 = all-capable auto-negotiation enabled). Internal pull-up.
44 PMODE1 input PHY operation mode select bit 1. See PMODE[2:0] table for supported 10BT/100BT and auto-negotiation combinations. Internal pull-up.
45 PMODE0 input PHY operation mode select bit 0. See PMODE[2:0] table for supported 10BT/100BT and auto-negotiation combinations. Internal pull-up.
46 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating.
47 NC unconnected Not connected. Leave floating.
48 AGND power_in Analog ground.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
w5500.step 617 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
w5500-etched.step 3.5 MB You want the part with W5500 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 884 faces against 747 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
