Raspberry Pi Pico

The Raspberry Pi Pico is a compact, high-performance microcontroller board powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip. It suits beginners, students, hobbyists, and professional engineers working on embedded electronics projects. With support for C and MicroPython, it is adaptable to applications ranging from simple sensor monitors to complex hardware automation.

Dual-core processing power

The board is powered by a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor with a flexible clock speed running up to 133 MHz. It comes equipped with 264KB of on-chip SRAM and 2MB of on-board QSPI flash memory for reliable program storage.

Programmable input and output

In addition to standard interfaces, the RP2040 includes eight Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support. It also features two I2C controllers, two SPI controllers, two UARTs, and 16 PWM channels.

Simple drag-and-drop programming

Getting started is straightforward with drag-and-drop programming over USB using mass storage. The board supports both C and MicroPython development to suit developers of all experience levels.

Compact castellated form factor

Measuring 21 mm by 51 mm, the module features castellated edges that allow it to be soldered directly onto carrier boards. It provides 26 multifunction GPIO pins, which include three analogue inputs.

Flexible power and environmental resilience

The board supports an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V DC and features low-power sleep and dormant modes. It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to +85°C and includes an on-chip temperature sensor.
