Adafruit Raspberry Pi RP2040 Microcontroller - Surface Mount Chips

The Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip redefines microcontroller power and flexibility with its dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores running at 133MHz. Engineered for prototyping and development, it offers 264kB on-chip SRAM and support for up to 16MB off-chip Flash via dedicated QSPI bus.

Features include two UARTs, two SPI controllers, and dual I2C controllers, making it ideal for multifaceted projects. With 16 PWM channels and 30 GPIO pins, you can manage a variety of peripherals seamlessly and utilize four analog inputs. The USB 1.1 controller with host and device support simplifies firmware updates.

The innovative PIO state machines allow you to build custom hardware logic and data processing tasks without CPU usage, perfect for handling NeoPixels, I2S audio, and more. While lacking a built-in FLASH, external QSPI flash provides powerful storage solutions.

This raw chip component is perfect for advanced hardware developers skilled in soldering and PCB design, offering the capability to create complex, customized applications. For simplified usage, explore breakout boards that combine all necessary elements into easy-to-use assembled PCBs.
