Farnell offers Raspberry Pi RP2040 as standalone chip
The 2040 chip, built on Raspberry Pi-designed silicon and which is on the Raspberry Pi Pico development board, is now available from Farnell as a standalone chip.
The Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller offers high performance for integer workloads, a large on-chip memory, and a wide range of I/O options, explains Farnell, an Avnet company.
The Raspberry Pi Pico has two Arm Cortex-M0+ cores clocked at 133MHz, 264kbyte of on-chip SRAM, 30 multi-function general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins, and dedicated hardware for commonly used peripherals. There is also a programmable I/O subsystem for extended peripheral support, a four-channel ADC with internal temperature sensor and built-in USB 1.1 with host and device support.
Lee Turner, global head of Semiconductors and SBC at Farnell, said: “Customers can now use the Raspberry Pi Pico within their design phase and shift to the RP2040 in production, giving ultimate flexibility and opportunity for design engineers.”
