The Raspberry Pi RP2040 is the first microcontroller to be developed directly by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (“Raspberry Silicon”) itself. Among other things, it has:
– Dual-Core Arm Cortex-M0+ @ 133MHz
– 264KB on-chip RAM integrated
– Support for up to 16 MB off-chip flash memory via a QSPI bus
– DMA controller
– Interpolator and integer divider peripherals
– 30 GPIO pins, of which 4 can be used as analogue inputs
– 2 × UARTs, 2 × SPI controllers and 2 × I2C controllers
– 16 × PWM channels
– 1 × USB-1.1 controller and PHY, with host and device support
– 8 × Raspberry Pi programmable I/O (PIO) ports
– USB mass storage boot mode with UF2 support, for drag-and-drop programming
Until now, the RP2040 was only available on the Raspberry Pi Pico and as a component for a limited number of partners. Now the RP2040 circuit is also available as a single component for the broad market. This enables cost-effective use in your own developments and devices.
