1cde762e-8903-52bb-962c-fa4b26bf6d45--smpsThe Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is built around the RP2350A, alongside W25Q32RV, ABM8-272-T3, RT6150.
26 GPIO pins are exposed. Xirkit documents 50 board pins, 32 of them with pin-level electrical limits.
23 pins are 5 V tolerant and 3 are not — check each pin in the pinout table before connecting 5 V signals.
Documented output-high current per pin: ≤ 12 mA. Values are traced to the chip datasheet; see the pinout table for per-pin limits and conditions.
Supply range 1.8–5.5 V. Power inputs: VSYS (1.8–5.5 V), VBUS.
From $5 at Raspberry Pi Ltd (RRP, datasheet) (2 supplier offers tracked). Prices are observed unit prices before tax and shipping.
51 × 21 × 1 mm. A STEP model is available for enclosure fit checks.
