Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is an upgraded version of the original Pico based on the RP2350, a microcontroller developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Pico 2 features improved processing power with a dual-core ARM Cortex-M33 processor, paired with two open hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores.  With a higher clock speed, more memory and upgraded interfacing capabilities the Pi Pico 2 is even more versatile enabling a wide range of applications, from simple DIY electronics projects to more complex IoT systems.

Overview

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is a high-performance microcontroller board powered by the RP2350, featuring a unique selectable architecture between dual ARM Cortex-M33 and dual Hazard3 RISC-V cores. It significantly upgrades the original Pico with 520KB of on-chip RAM, 4MB of external QSPI flash, and a comprehensive security suite including Arm TrustZone and signed boot.

Why Choose This Part

The board provides 26 multi-function GPIO pins and 16 PWM channels in a compact 21mm by 51mm form factor. It offers a unique migration path for developers to experiment with RISC-V architecture on the same hardware used for traditional ARM development.

Applications

Secure Edge Computing
Utilizes Arm TrustZone, hardware SHA-256 acceleration, and a true random number generator for secure IoT deployments.
Real-Time Embedded Control
Leverages 12 Programmable I/O (PIO) state machines to implement custom high-speed hardware interfaces without CPU overhead.
Digital Signal Processing
Uses the 150MHz clock speed and Cortex-M33 floating-point instructions for efficient motor control or sensor data filtering.
Battery-Powered IoT
Operates at a wide input voltage range from 1.8V to 5.5V, making it suitable for varying lithium-ion or alkaline battery configurations.
