Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is a powerful wireless microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi, built around the high-performance RP2350 microcontroller. Designed for both enthusiasts and professional developers, it combines upgraded processing power, expanded memory, advanced security features, and built-in wireless connectivity in the compact Raspberry Pi Pico form factor.

Compared with earlier Pico boards, the Pico 2 W offers a higher core clock speed, 520 KB of on-chip SRAM, 4 MB of on-board QSPI flash memory, and a choice of dual Arm Cortex-M33 cores or dual Hazard3 RISC-V cores running at up to 150 MHz. This dual-core, dual-architecture design gives developers flexibility while maintaining strong hardware and software compatibility with the existing Raspberry Pi Pico ecosystem.

Built-in 2.4 GHz 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.2 make the Pico 2 W ideal for connected projects, IoT devices, remote sensors, home automation systems, wireless controllers, and embedded applications. With 26 multi-purpose GPIO pins, including 4 ADC-capable pins, plus UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, USB, and PIO support, the board offers extensive interfacing options for a wide variety of electronics projects.

The RP2350 also introduces a comprehensive security architecture based on Arm TrustZone for Cortex-M, including signed boot, 8 KB antifuse OTP key storage, SHA-256 acceleration, a hardware true random number generator, fast glitch detectors, and a secure boot ROM. These features make the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W suitable for more demanding commercial and industrial applications where product security and long-term reliability are important.

This version is supplied without pre-soldered headers or a soldered debug port, making it a flexible choice for custom builds, low-profile installations, and production integration. A pre-soldered version is also available separately.

Programmable in C/C++ and Python, and supported by detailed Raspberry Pi documentation, the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W is a compact, capable, and future-ready microcontroller board for wireless embedded development.
