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] Its successor is the RP2350 series.

Overview

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++, Swift,[4] Free Pascal, Rust,[5] Go,[6] MicroPython, CircuitPython,[1][7] Ada,[8] TypeScript[9] and Zig.[10] 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.[11]

Hackaday notes the benefits of the RP2040 as being from Raspberry Pi, having a good feature set, and being released in low-cost packages.[12]

Multiple stepping levels of the chip have been produced.[13]

Features

The chip is 40 nm silicon in a 7 × 7 mm QFN-56EP surface-mount device (SMD) package manufactured by TSMC[14]

  • Key features:.[15]
    • 133 MHz dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores (ARMv6-M) (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 supports up to 16 MB of external flash memory
    • DMA controller, 12 channel, 2 IRQ. (NOTE: RP2350 family has 16 and 4).
    • 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:
    • One USB 1.1 (LS & FS) controller and PHY, host and device support, 1.5 Mbps (Low Speed) and 12 Mbps (Full Speed).
    • Two UART controllers.
    • Two SPI controllers.
    • One QSPI (quad SPI) controller (SSI), supports 1 / 2 / 4-bit SPI transfers, 1 chip select.
    • Two I²C controllers.
    • Eight PIO (programmable input–output) state machines. (NOTE: RP2350 family has 12).
    • 16 PWM channels. (NOTE: RP2350 family has 24).
    • 4-channel 12-bit 500-ksps SAR ADC, extra channel is connected to internal temperature sensor. (NOTE: RP2350 family has 4 or 8 depending on package).
