RP2040

RP2040 is a 32-bit dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi Ltd. In January 2021, it was released as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico board. Its successor is the RP2350 series.[1]

Overview

Announced on 21 January 2021, the RP2040 is the first microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi Ltd.[2][3] The microcontroller is low cost, with the Raspberry Pi Pico being introduced at US$4 and the RP2040 itself costing US$1. The microcontroller can be programmed in assembly, C, C++, Forth,[4] Swift,[5] Free Pascal, Rust,[6] Go,[7] MicroPython, CircuitPython,

Features

The RP2040 chip is a 7 × 7 mm QFN-56EP surface-mount device (SMD) package manufactured by TSMC using its 40 nm process.[16] For comparison with the RP2350, see.

• Key features:[17]
• Dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores (ARMv6-M instruction set), Originally run at 133 MHz,[1] but later certified at 200 MHz[18]
• Each core has an integer divider peripheral and two interpolators
• 264 KB SRAM in six independent banks (four 64 KB, two 4 KB)
