MSP430G2553: Help ! msp430G2553 and Module ENC28J60 ( Module Ethernet )

Part Number: MSP430G2553
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP432E401Y

I just got an ethernet-related project and I want to use msp430g2553 to connect to the enc28j60 module, so I want to ask if these two devices can connect to each other, if so then how to connect?

And can you give me some documents related to ethernet?

Thank you so much !

  • Hello,

    If the ENC28J60 has a SPI or UART or I2C interface, then the MSP430G2553 should be able to communicate with it. You would have to read up on the end device's specific protocol in order to code the MSP430 appropriately. However, if the interface is more complicated, or if you have to do a full Ethernet stack on the MSP430G2553, then you will run into issues. The MSP430G2553 won't have enough memory or possibly processing power to run an Ethernet stack at a significant speed.

    If you need an MCU that runs an Ethernet stack plus an Ethernet MAC, check out the MSP432E401Y! www.ti.com/.../msp-exp432e401y
