------Question for STM32H563MIY3QTR Please Put your question below------
The datasheet says it supports Ethernet, but Digi-Key’s database does not list Ethernet as a feature. Does Ethernet actually work in the 80-WLCSP version of the STM32H563? Or is Ethernet only in the STM32H573?
According to this page, the only difference in 563 vs 573 is the crypto features:

Hi @karl.papadantonakis ,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Does STM32H563 support Ethernet?
Yes. The STM32H563 series includes an integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC (similar to STM32H573). This is confirmed in ST’s official feature list:
“Embedded peripherals include … Ethernet” for STM32H563/573 devices.
The only functional difference between STM32H563 and STM32H573 is security/crypto features (AES, PKA, OTFDEC, ST-iRoT), not Ethernet. [st.com]
What about the 80-WLCSP package (STM32H563MIY3QTR)?
The WLCSP-80 version does have the Ethernet MAC, but you still need an external PHY (e.g., LAN8742A) for physical layer connectivity. ST’s community examples and tutorials show Ethernet working on STM32H563 boards (e.g., NUCLEO-H563ZI) using RMII mode with an external PHY.
Is Ethernet only on STM32H573?
No. Both STM32H563 and STM32H573 have Ethernet MAC. The STM32H573 just adds advanced crypto and secure boot features.
