It contains the components necessary to run the mighty RP2350B chip (that's the crystal, regulator and essential support circuits), a beefy \u003cstrong\u003e8MB of PSRAM\u003c\/strong\u003e and a prodigious \u003cstrong\u003e16MB of flash storage\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/collections\/rp2350\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to view all things RP2350!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pimoroni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42092629229651,"sku":"PIM722","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/files\/pga2350-oak-1.jpg?v=1723042220","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/pga2350","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
