how do I connect this to the regulator and the rp2040?
3y
To connect the AMS1117-3.3 regulator (U2) and the RP2040 microcontroller (U1), follow these steps:
- Connect the input voltage (5V_USB) to the VI pin of the AMS1117-3.3 regulator (U2).
- Connect the GND pin of the AMS1117-3.3 regulator (U2) to the ground (Net 0).
- Connect the VO pin of the AMS1117-3.3 regulator (U2) to the 3V3 net.
- Connect the 3V3 net to the IOVDD pins of the RP2040 microcontroller (U1).
- Connect the VREG_VIN pin of the RP2040 microcontroller (U1) to the output of the regulator through a capacitor (C5 or C6).
- Connect the VREG_VOUT pin of the RP2040 microcontroller (U1) to the input of the regulator through a capacitor (C7 or C8).
- Connect the DVDD pins of the RP2040 microcontroller (U1) to the output of the regulator through a capacitor (C3 or C4).
Make sure all the capacitors are connected to the ground (Net 0) on their other pins.

where do I connect the DVDD pins to?
3y
To connect the RUN pin on the RP2040 (U1), you should connect it to a pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) and then connect the other end of the resistor to the 3.3V supply. This will keep the microcontroller running. If you want to add a reset button, connect a normally open push button between the RUN pin and ground. When the button is pressed, it will pull the RUN pin low, resetting the microcontroller.
3y
How do I connect the Run pin?
3y
3y
Connect the DVDD pins of the RP2040 (U1) to the output of the AMS1117-3.3 voltage regulator (U2:VO) through capacitors C3 and C4. This will provide a stable 3.3V supply to the microcontroller.
3y
And where I connect the USB_VDD pins to? Do they need 3.3V or 5V?
3y
Connect the USB_VDD pin of the RP2040 (U1) to a 3.3V voltage source. In your current circuit, you can connect it to the output of the AMS1117-3.3 voltage regulator (U2:VO). This will provide the required 3.3V supply to the USB_VDD pin.

explain this project.
2y
This project is a Raspberry Pi pico-like board designed with several components. The main microcontroller is the RP2040 (U1) which is a dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor, with flexible clock running up to 133 MHz.
The project involves several other key components:
-
AMS1117-3.3 (U2): This is a low dropout voltage regulator that provides a 3.3V output, which is used to supply power to the entire circuit, including the RP2040.
-
W25Q128JVSIQ (U4): This is an integrated circuit that provides 128M-bit serial flash memory for the microcontroller.
-
Crystal Oscillator (Y1) with a frequency of 12MHz: This is used to provide a clock signal to the microcontroller.
-
USB-C Receptacle (J1): This is the USB interface for the board, which can be used for power supply as well as data transfer.
-
Capacitors and Resistors: There are several capacitors (C1 - C15) and resistors (R1 - R5) placed at various points in the circuit to filter noise, smooth out voltage, and pull up/down certain signals.
-
Switch (SW1): This is a push button switch used to control the RUN pin of the RP2040, which can be used to reset the microcontroller.
The circuit also includes test points for debug interfaces - SWCLK and SWD.
Several nets connect these components together to form the various functionalities of the board. For example, the 3.3V net distributes the output of the voltage regulator to the power supply pins of the RP2040 and other components. The SPI nets (SPI_D0, SPI_D1, SPI_D2, SPI_D3, SPI_SCLK, SPI_CS) connect the RP2040 to the flash memory for data storage and retrieval. The USB data lines (D+, D-) are connected to the RP2040 through resistors.
Overall, this project seems to be a compact, yet powerful, microcontroller board with flash memory and USB connectivity, similar to a Raspberry Pi Pico.

how do I connect the run pin on U1?
2y
The RUN pin on RP2040 (U1, pin 26) functions as an enable/reset pin for the microcontroller, according to the datasheet excerpt[1]. To use it, you can typically connect a switch or jumper between the RUN pin and the ground. Pressing the switch or installing the jumper would pull the pin to GND and reset the chip.
Here's how you might connect it:
- Connect one terminal of SW1 to the RUN pin (U1, pin 26).
- Connect the other terminal of SW1 to GND.
This allows you to manually reset the RP2040 by pressing SW1.
Please note this assumes you currently have SW1 available as a switch in your design. If not, please add a suitable switch or jumper to your design in Flux.

does this work to convert the 5V from USB to the 3.3V for the RP2040?
3y
For the AMS1117-3.3 LDO in your circuit, it is recommended to use a 10µF ceramic capacitor at the input and a 10µF ceramic capacitor at the output for decoupling purposes. These capacitors help stabilize the regulator and reduce output voltage noise. Make sure to place the capacitors as close as possible to the LDO's input and output pins for optimal performance.
3y
3y
Yes, the AMS1117-3.3 voltage regulator (U2) in the circuit is designed to convert the 5V input from the USB to a stable 3.3V output, which is suitable for powering the RP2040 microcontroller (U1). Make sure to connect the 5V input to the VI pin of the AMS1117-3.3 and the 3.3V output to the VREG_VIN pin of the RP2040.
3y
What is the tab pin for?
3y
The TAB pin on the AMS1117-3.3 voltage regulator is typically connected to the device's thermal pad. It serves as a heat sink to dissipate heat generated during operation, helping to maintain the regulator's temperature within safe limits. In most cases, the TAB pin is also electrically connected to the GND pin, so it can be connected to the ground plane on the PCB for better thermal performance.

does this memory work for the rp2040?
3y
To determine if the memory is compatible with the RP2040, please provide the memory part number or specifications. I can then help you verify its compatibility.
3y
It's a W25Q128JVSIQ
3y
The W25Q128JVSIQ is a 128M-bit (16M-byte) serial flash memory from Winbond. It is compatible with the RP2040 microcontroller. The RP2040 supports Quad-SPI communication, which the W25Q128JVSIQ also supports. You can connect the memory to the RP2040's QSPI pins (QSPI_SCLK, QSPI_CSN, QSPI_SD0, QSPI_SD1, QSPI_SD2, and QSPI_SD3) for communication.
3y
Perfect, how do I power it? 3.3V is enough?
3y
Yes, 3.3V is enough to power the W25Q128JVSIQ. The operating voltage range for this memory chip is 2.7V to 3.6V. You can connect the 3.3V power supply to the VCC pin of the W25Q128JVSIQ.
3y
Does it need decoupling capacitors?
3y
Yes, the W25Q128JVSIQ requires decoupling capacitors. It is recommended to place a 0.1uF (100nF) ceramic capacitor close to the VCC and GND pins of the memory chip to help stabilize the power supply and reduce noise. Make sure the capacitor is connected between the VCC and GND pins.
