Raspberry Pi Pico W

Description

The Raspberry Pi Pico W is a versatile, low-cost microcontroller board, making the debut of Raspberry Pi Ltd.’s own custom-designed silicon, the RP2040. Engineered for embedded applications and physical computing, it delivers high performance and a rich peripheral set in a compact form factor. The Pico W features a USB-C connector and notably integrates Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity.

Processor & Memory

• CPU: RP2040, featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, operating at up to 133 MHz.
• Memory: Integrated 264KB of on-chip SRAM and 2MB of on-board QSPI flash memory for code and data storage.

Power & Low-Power Features

• Input Voltage: Supports 1.8V to 5.5V DC power input via USB-C or the VSYS pin.
• Low-Power Modes: Designed with various low-power modes to support extended-duration operation on battery power.

Interfaces & Peripherals

• Digital I/O: 26 multi-function GPIO pins, with castellated edges for surface-mount applications.
• Analog I/O: 3 analog input pins (12-bit ADC).
• Serial Interfaces: Includes 2x UART, 2x SPI controllers, and 2x I2C controllers for extensive peripheral integration.
• PWM Channels: 16 controllable PWM channels.
• USB: 1x USB 1.1 controller and PHY, supporting both host and device modes.
• Programmable I/O (PIO): 8x PIO state machines, providing highly flexible and high-performance custom peripheral support.
• On-board Components: Features an on-board LED (connected to GPIO25 on most standard Pico boards), a reset button, and a BOOTSEL button for easy programming via drag-and-drop.
• Other: Includes an accurate clock and timer on-chip, a temperature sensor, and accelerated floating-point libraries on-chip.

Form Factor & Development

• Size: Compact design (approximately 21 mm x 51 mm), ideal for integrating into a wide range of projects.
• Development Environment: Fully supported by the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK and an official MicroPython port, with drag-and-drop programming via mass storage over USB.
