    RP2040

    RP2040 chip for Raspberry Pi Pico - ARM® Cortex®-M0+ MCU 32-Bit The RP2040 is a high-performance, low-cost microcontroller built around two ARM Cortex-M0+ cores. It is optimized for flexibility, ease of use, and deterministic real-time performance. Unlike many microcontrollers, it includes a unique programmable I/O subsystem (PIO), allowing custom hardware interfaces without extra components. Key Features Processing Dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processors Up to 133 MHz clock speed Efficient integer performance with low power consumption Memory 264 KB on-chip SRAM External QSPI flash support (typically 2 MB–16 MB depending on board) Programmable I/O (PIO) 2 PIO blocks, each with 4 state machines Enables custom protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, WS2812, VGA, etc.) Offloads timing-critical tasks from CPU 🔗 Connectivity Interfaces 2× UART 2× SPI 2× I2C USB 1.1 controller (device or host support) 16× PWM channels Analog Features 12-bit ADC (up to 5 channels, including internal temperature sensor) Power & Voltage Operating voltage: 1.8V – 3.3V Low-power modes available Package Options QFN-56 (7×7 mm) Development Ecosystem Supports C/C++ SDK MicroPython and CircuitPython support Strong community and documentation Typical Applications Embedded systems and IoT devices Robotics and automation DIY electronics and prototyping USB devices (HID, MIDI, etc.) Custom communication interfaces using PIO #CommonPartsLibrary #IntegratedCircuit #Microcontroller
