The RP2350, developed by Raspberry Pi Ltd, is a high-performance microcontroller designed to cater to a broad range of applications requiring efficient power management, advanced security features, and versatile IO options. This microcontroller stands out with its dual-core architecture, featuring either Cortex-M33 or Hazard3 processors operating at up to 150 MHz, ensuring robust performance for complex applications. It boasts a substantial 520 KB of on-chip SRAM distributed across 10 independent banks, enhancing parallel data processing capabilities. Additionally, the RP2350 supports up to 16 MB of external QSPI flash/PSRAM for extensive program and data storage, further expandable via an optional second chip-select. A notable feature of the RP2350 is its integrated on-chip switched-mode power supply, designed to generate core voltage efficiently, complemented by a low-quiescent-current LDO mode for reduced power consumption in sleep states. Security is a paramount feature of the RP2350, offering options for boot signing with key fingerprint in OTP, hardware mitigations against fault injection attacks, and a hardware SHA-256 accelerator for cryptographic operations. The microcontroller is also equipped with a comprehensive set of peripherals, including USB 1.1 controller and PHY, multiple UARTs, SPI, and I2C controllers, 24 PWM channels, and 12 programmable IO (PIO) state machines, providing extensive interface capabilities. The RP2350 is available in QFN-60 and QFN-80 packages, with or without flash-in-package options, catering to various design requirements and application needs.
