The Raspberry Pi RP2040 is the first microcontroller designed in-house at Raspberry Pi (“Raspberry Silicon”).

Initially only available onboard the Raspberry Pi Pico, it is now available to buy as a standalone microprocessor chip for your own home-made RP2040 PCB designs, industrial applications and more.

The RP2040 microcontroller comes in a QFN-56 package. The recommended PCB footprint can be found in the datasheet (or see the image below in the Resources section.

We are now stocking the latest RP2B2 version.
