RP2040 Datasheet

NOTE: The CYW43439 supports both 802.11 wireless and Bluetooth, initially Pico W does not have Bluetooth support. Support may be added later, and will use the same SPI interface. If support is added existing hardware may require a firmware update to support Bluetooth, but there will be no hardware modifications needed.

Raspberry Pi Pico

Raspberry Pi Pico Schematic Diagram

This board is using an RP2040 microcontroller. Which is using a dual-core arm cortex m0+ processor. The speed of the clock signal can be changed on the fly up to 133MHz.

The Pico board is castellated so that you can mount this board directly on your PCB. This board also has options for mounting male/female headers. which is handy for prototyping on a breadboard.

It can be programmed using micropython and ‘C’ programming language.
