Compatibility & sourcing notes
Not a drop-in, but a common design alternative: W5500 has hardwired TCP/IP, 8 sockets, and a 32KB buffer; ENC28J60 is a 10Mbps MAC+PHY with an 8KB buffer that needs a software stack. Moving to W5500 offloads the MCU.
A functional alternative requiring design-in: pinout and driver may differ — re-validate with the corresponding development resources before production.
