RP2040

RP2040 is a 32-bit dual ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller integrated circuit[1][2][3] by Raspberry Pi Ltd. In January 2021, it was released as part of the Raspberry Pi Pico board.[1]

Overview edit

Announced on 21 January 2021, the RP2040 is the first microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi Ltd.[1][2] The microcontroller is low cost, with the Raspberry Pi Pico being introduced at US$4 and the RP2040 itself costing US$1. The microcontroller can be programmed in assembly, C, C++, Free Pascal, Rust,[4] Go, MicroPython, CircuitPython,[1][5] Ada[6] and TypeScript.[7] It is powerful enough to run TensorFlow Lite.[1]

At announcement time, four other manufacturers (Adafruit, Pimoroni, Arduino, SparkFun) were at advanced stages of their product design, awaiting the widespread availability of chips to be put in to production.[8]

Hackaday notes the benefits of the RP2040 as being from Raspberry Pi, having a good feature set, and being released in low-cost packages.[9]

Per the datasheet, there are multiple revisions of the chip:
"The full source for the RP2040 bootROM can be found at https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-bootrom. This includes both version 1 and version 2 of the bootROM, which correspond to the B0 and B1 silicon revisions, respectively."

Features edit

The chip is 40 nm silicon in a 7 × 7 mm QFN-56 surface-mount device (SMD) package manufactured by TSMC.[10]

  • Key features:[11]
    • 133 MHz dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores (supports overclocking[3])
      • Each core has an integer divider peripheral, and two interpolators.
    • 264 KB SRAM in six independent banks (four 64 KB, two 4 KB)
    • No internal flash or EEPROM memory (after reset, the boot-loader loads firmware from either external flash memory or USB into internal SRAM)
    • QSPI bus controller, supporting up to 16 MB of external flash memory
    • DMA controller
    • AHB crossbar, fully-connected
    • On-chip programmable low-dropout regulator (LDO) to generate core voltage
    • Two on-chip PLLs to generate USB and core clocks
    • 30 GPIO pins, of which four can optionally be used as analog inputs
  • Peripherals:
    • Two UARTs
    • Two SPI controllers
    • Two I²C controllers
    • 16 PWM channels
    • USB 1.1 controller and PHY, with host and device support
    • Eight programmable input–output (PIO) state machines
    • Four channel ADC with internal temperature sensor, 500 ksps, 12-bit conversion
