Raspberry Pi Pico 2 Pinout

Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is the successor to the Pico with the RP2350 chip. At a similar price and with the same pin layout, it adds performance, twice the memory and one interesting twist: you can choose between Arm Cortex-M33 and RISC-V Hazard3 cores.

The board is pin-compatible with the original Pico – you can reuse existing wiring and most code unchanged.

Specifications

  • RP2350A: 2× Arm Cortex-M33 or 2× RISC-V Hazard3, 150 MHz
  • 520 kB SRAM, 4 MB flash
  • 26 GPIO with 3.3 V logic, 3 of them with a 12-bit ADC
  • 2× UART, 2× SPI, 2× I2C, 16 PWM channels, 12 PIO state machines
  • HSTX – fast video output (DVI) directly from the chip
  • security: Arm TrustZone, secure boot, OTP memory
  • micro USB, 21 × 51 mm, onboard LED on GP25

The version with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is the Pico 2 W.

You can program it in MicroPython, CircuitPython, C/C++ (Pico SDK) or the Arduino IDE.

Pins used on the board

These chip pins are used by parts on the board and are not broken out:

PinFunction on the board
GP23Power converter mode control (SMPS PS)
GP24VBUS detection (is USB connected?)
GP25Onboard LED
GP29ADC3 – measures VSYS/3

What to watch out for

  • Unlike the RP2040, the GPIO tolerate 5 V – but only when the board is powered, and not on the analog pins GP26–28. The output is always 3.3 V.
  • RP2350 chips in revision A2 have erratum E9: the internal pull-down can “hold” an input at around 2 V. Use an external resistor (up to 8.2 kΩ) on inputs with a pull-down, or use a pull-up. Revision A4 is fixed.
  • ADC is only on GP26–28 (ADC0–2), ADC3 internally measures VSYS/3.
  • UART, I2C and SPI can be routed to several different pins – the table shows all options.
  • Don’t draw more than about 300 mA from the 3V3(OUT) pin.
