Mouser Electronics, Inc. now offers the new RP2350 MCU from Raspberry Pi. The RP2350 builds on the success of Raspberry Pi's RP2040, with even higher performance and security features at an affordable price, to make it an exceptional fit for embedded computing and industrial IoT applications.
The MCU integrates dual Arm Cortex-M33 processors running at 150MHz, with a pair of open-hardware Hazard3 RISC-V cores with floating-point and DSP support, and a robust security model built on Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M. This dual-architecture is selectable through software or by programming the on-chip OTP memory. These powerful cores, together with large amounts of on-chip SRAM and unique programmable I/O subsystems, make it an outstanding fit for applications demanding high performance, flexible interfacing, and robust security from industrial automation to consumer electronics. Despite its impressive feature set, the affordable pricing also permits integration into high-volume, low-cost end devices.
Raspberry Pi's Pico 2 MCU board, also available at Mouser, supplies a significant performance boost with higher core clock speed, double the memory, more powerful Arm cores, optional RISC-V cores, heightened security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, enabling developers to experiment with the RISC-V architecture in a stable, well-supported environment. While retaining compatibility with earlier Raspberry Pi Pico series devices, Pico 2 pairs the RP2350 with 4MB of onboard QSPI Flash memory (versus 2MB on Raspberry Pi Pico) for code and data storage. Programmable in C / C++ and Python, Raspberry Pi also provides the Pico 2W, a wireless variant with 2.4GHz 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.2, offering improved flexibility in IoT and smart product designs.
