Raspberry Pi RP2350A Dual Core Microcontroller IC

Description

The Raspberry Pi RP2350A Microcontroller IC represents a substantial evolution from its predecessor, the RP2040. This advanced chip integrates dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores alongside dual RISC-V Hazard3 cores, all operating at an improved system clock speed of 150MHz. This heterogeneous architecture provides developers with flexible processing capabilities for complex tasks.

Equipped with 520KB of RAM and 8KB of OTP storage, the RP2350A ensures robust program execution and data retention. A key enhancement is the inclusion of Arm TrustZone-based security, offering a hardware-isolated environment to protect sensitive operations and data. The added PIO core further expands interfacing options, enabling custom peripheral emulation, while its lower power consumption profile makes it an excellent choice for energy-efficient embedded and IoT designs. Featured in the upcoming Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and various partner products, the RP2350A is engineered for applications demanding high speed, strong security, and scalability across embedded systems, IoT, and industrial automation.
