Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 Microcontroller Board

Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 Microcontroller Board

Descripton:

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a microcontroller with an RP2040 chip featuring 2 x ARM Cortex-M0+ cores clocked at 133MHz; 256KB RAM; 2 MB of onboard Flash, 30 GPIO pins; and a range of interfacing options. It is a single-sided PCB measuring just 21mm x 51.3mm with a micro-USB port and 40 main user pins with through-hole pins to allow for surface mounting.

Details:
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a flexible and cost-efficient development platform that has been fully designed in house at Raspberry Pi, based on their very own RP2040 chip.

Key Features of the Raspberry Pi Pico:
RP2040 microcontroller with 2MB Flash memory that can be (re)programmed via USB or via the Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port
Micro-USB B port for power and data
40 pin 21×51 ‘DIP’ style 1mm thick PCB with 0.1″ through-hole pins also with edge castellations
◦ Exposes 26 multi-function 3.3V General Purpose I/O (GPIO)
◦ 23 GPIO are digital-only and 3 are ADC capable
◦ Can be surface mounted as a module
3-pin ARM Serial Wire Debug (SWD) port
Uses an on-board buck-boost SMPS – allows for flexible options for powering the unit from micro-USB, external supplies or batteries
