## Blueprint

**Schematics published.** Raspberry Pi publishes the Pico 2 W schematic diagram and RP2350 datasheet, but unlike the non-wireless Pico 2 it does not release a KiCad/Allegro hardware-design-source archive for the W variant.

### Design files

- schematic: [Pico 2 W schematic diagram (PDF)](https://pip-assets.raspberrypi.com/categories/1088-raspberry-pi-pico-2-w/documents/RP-008306-DS-1-pico-2-w-schematic.pdf) (PDF)
- datasheet: [Pico 2 W datasheet (PDF)](https://pip-assets.raspberrypi.com/categories/1088-raspberry-pi-pico-2-w/documents/RP-008304-DS-3-pico-2-w-datasheet.pdf) (PDF)

### Key parts

| Part | Role | Datasheet |
|---|---|---|
| RP2350 | MCU (dual Cortex-M33 or dual Hazard3 RISC-V, switchable) | https://pip-assets.raspberrypi.com/categories/1214-rp2350/documents/RP-008373-DS-2-rp2350-datasheet.pdf |
| Infineon CYW43439 | Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) / Bluetooth 5.2 radio | https://www.infineon.com/part/CYW43439 |

_Notes:_ Confirmed via WebFetch of raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers: the non-wireless Pico 2 has a full KiCad/Allegro design-files zip, but the Pico 2 W page only links the schematic diagram, not a source archive. All PDF links resolved 200 via pip-assets.raspberrypi.com.

## Specifications

### Controller & wireless

| | |
|---|---|
| Processor | RP2350; dual Cortex-M33 or dual Hazard3 RISC-V, up to 150 MHz |
| Memory | 520 KB SRAM; 4 MB onboard flash |
| Wi-Fi | 2.4 GHz 802.11n; WPA3 and a soft access point for up to four clients |
| Bluetooth | 5.2; BLE central/peripheral and Bluetooth Classic in supported stacks |
| Form | 21 × 51 mm castellated board; micro-USB B for data/power |

### I/O & development

| | |
|---|---|
| GPIO | 26 exposed 3.3 V GPIO; three support analog input |
| Serial buses | Two UART, two SPI and two I²C controllers |
| Analog & timing | Three 12-bit ADC inputs, 16 PWM channels and 12 PIO state machines |
| Debug | Three-pin SWD; pads on base board, keyed connector on header variant |
| MicroPython | Choose the Pico 2 W UF2 from the official download index |
| Flash from USB | Hold BOOTSEL while connecting; copy UF2 to the RP2350 volume |
| C/C++ | Official SDK, examples and VS Code Pico extension |
| Header options | Pico 2 W and Pico 2 W with headers; non-W Pico 2 lacks wireless |

### Power & revision limits

| | |
|---|---|
| USB power | VBUS nominally 5 V; separate from the wider VSYS range |
| External supply | VSYS, pin 39: 1.8–5.5 V input |
| Peripheral power | 3V3 output: keep external load below 300 mA; available current varies |
| Operating temperature | −20 to 70 °C including self-heating, per board datasheet |
| USB host | Supply 5 V to VBUS for the documented host mode |
| Multiple supplies | Use the datasheet’s power-ORing circuit to avoid back-powering |
| Silicon errata | RP2350-E9 affects A2 GPIO input leakage; fixed in A3 |
