NEW PRODUCT: RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 W ON SALE NOW AT $15

 * 28th Oct 2021
 * Eben Upton
 * 59 comments

It’s been nearly six years since we unleashed the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero on an
unsuspecting world. Of all the products we’ve launched, Zero is still the one
I’m proudest of: it most perfectly embodies our mission to give people access to
tools, and to eliminate cost as a barrier. We’ve sold nearly four million units
of Zero, and its $10 wireless-enabled big brother Zero W, and they’ve made their
way into everything from smart speakers to hospital ventilators. But where our
larger products have grown steadily more powerful over the years, we’ve never
found a way to pack more performance into the Zero form factor.

Until today.




RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 W

Priced at $15, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W uses the same Broadcom BCM2710A1 SoC die as
the launch version of Raspberry Pi 3, with Arm cores slightly down-clocked to
1GHz, bundled into a single space-saving package alongside 512MB of LPDDR2
SDRAM. The exact performance uplift over Zero varies across workloads, but for
multi-threaded sysbench it is almost exactly five times faster.

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is available to buy today from our network of Approved
Resellers. If you are a subscriber to The MagPi, you’ll be receiving a free Zero
2 W in the next few days; all new subscribers will receive a unit as a welcome
gift.

Zero 2 W on the cover of The MagPi


RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 W SPECIFICATIONS

Here are the highlights:

 * Broadcom BCM2710A1, quad-core 64-bit SoC (Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1GHz)
 * 512MB LPDDR2 SDRAM
 * 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2, BLE
 * 1 × USB 2.0 interface with OTG
 * HAT-compatible 40 pin I/O header footprint
 * MicroSD card slot
 * Mini HDMI port
 * Composite video and reset pin solder points
 * CSI-2 camera connector
 * H.264, MPEG-4 decode (1080p30); H.264 encode (1080p30)
 * OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 graphics

If a lot of this looks familiar, it’s because Simon Martin, who designed both
Zero 2 W, and the RP3A0 package that powers it, has been able to squeeze all
this extra performance into the original Zero form factor. Almost all cases and
accessories designed for Zero should work perfectly with the new board,
including our own case and selection of cables.

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS…itty-bitty living space!


PACKAGING MAGIC

The principal barrier to creating a higher performance Raspberry Pi Zero has
always been form-factor: with a tiny board, and single-sided component
placement, there is no physical room to accommodate both the main system-on-chip
(SoC) and a discrete SDRAM package.

Like Raspberry Pi 1, Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W are built around the Broadcom
BCM2835 SoC. This neatly sidesteps the problem by using package-on-package (PoP)
technology, in which the SDRAM package sits directly on top of the SoC.

BCM2835 and 168-ball LPDDR2 PoP memory

PoP is an elegant solution if the silicon die in the SoC is small enough to fit
in the cavity between the balls of the SDRAM top package. Unfortunately, as
Broadcom added first a quad Cortex-A7 (to create BCM2836), and then a quad
Cortex-A53 (to create BCM2837), the die outgrew the PoP cavity. From Raspberry
Pi 2 onward, we use discrete SDRAM, but this option wasn’t available to us for a
future Zero.

But there’s another way to avoid discrete SDRAM, and if you’ve been following
Raspberry Pi since the start, you’ve met it before. Back in the day, BCM2835 had
a slightly evil twin, BCM2763, which integrated a 128MB SDRAM die directly into
the package along with the SoC die; this arrangement is known as a
system-in-package (SiP). BCM2763 was intended for use as a graphics coprocessor
for mobile phones, and powered the original Raspberry Pi prototype we demoed
back in 2011.

BCM2835, but with a goatee

Simon, who designed the BCM2763 package at Broadcom a decade ago, now works at
Raspberry Pi. In between designing the official mouse and keyboard, the
High-Quality Camera, and Raspberry Pi 400, he found time to create RP3A0, a
modern SiP which combines the BCM2710A1 die used in BCM2837A1, a 4Gbit Micron
LPDDR2 die, and the decoupling capacitors required to smooth the core supply
voltage.

RP3A0 system-in-package

Never one to pass up an opportunity for artistic expression, Simon even managed
to squeeze a very low-resolution Raspberry Pi logo into the package ball-out, as
you can see from this package and X-ray image.

Not the smallest Raspberry Pi logo, but possibly the lowest resolution


PCB MAGIC

Thermals are a challenge when packing more performance into a small package: can
we dissipate the heat generated by the faster processor? In common with other
recent Raspberry Pi products, Zero 2 W uses thick internal copper layers to
conduct heat away from the processor. If you hold a Zero W and a Zero 2 W in
your hands, you can really feel the difference in weight.

All this extra copper translates into higher sustained performance: we’ve found
that in a 20C ambient environment, an uncased Zero 2 W can run our favourite
LINPACK linear-algebra stress test indefinitely without throttling.


SEALED WIRELESS IN A CAN

Next to the large RP3A0 package, you’ll find a large metal shield can, which
covers the wireless circuitry on the board and protects it from external
interference. Like all Raspberry Pi products since 3B+, Zero 2 W has FCC modular
certification, which reduces the compliance workload involved in incorporating
it into an end product.

Shield can can shield


NEW RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 PSU

To accompany Zero 2 W, we’re also launching a new official USB power supply.
This closely resembles the Raspberry Pi 4 PSU, but with a USB micro-B connector
in place of the USB-C connector, and with a slightly reduced peak current rating
of 2.5A. Even this is overkill if you’re powering a Zero 2 W, but it comes in
handy if you want to power a Raspberry Pi 3B or 3B+.

BS 1363 FTW

The PSU costs $8, and is available in with the following plug types: US and
Canada (type A); Europe (type C); India (type D); UK (type G); and Australia,
New Zealand and China (type I).


RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 W AVAILABILITY

Today, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is available in the United Kingdom, the European
Union, the United States, Canada, and Hong Kong. We’ll add new countries as we
complete our radio compliance work, with Australia and New Zealand coming up
first in November.

Sadly, Zero 2 W isn’t immune to the current global semiconductor shortage. We
expect to ship roughly 200k units this calendar year, with a further 250k to
follow in the first half of 2022.


FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ll update this list as we answer questions in the comments, but here are a
few to get you going.

ARE YOU DISCONTINUING ZERO AND ZERO W?

No. We seldom discontinue products, even where they have been superseded by more
modern product at the same price point. Zero 2 W is $5 more expensive than Zero
W, and joins the Zero family as a third member.

Note that Zero and Zero W are currently experiencing supply constraints in the
context of the global semiconductor shortage. We hope that this will be resolved
in 2022.

WILL THERE BE A VERSION OF ZERO 2 W WITH 1GB OF SDRAM?

No. 1GB LPDDR2 monodie are not available, and producing a SiP with two stacked
SDRAM dice would be very challenging.

WHAT DO THE MARKINGS ON RP3A0 MEAN?

RP3 is the name of the package. A0 indicates that this is the first version of
the part. AU indicates that the package uses gold (as opposed to copper) bond
wires.

The 4-digit code is a manufacturing date, expressed as a year and a week number.
Amusingly quite a lot of units were manufactured in week 41 of 2020, yielding
the misleading code “2041”.

The 6-digit code is an order date, expressed in the format YYMMDD.

HOW LONG WILL ZERO 2 W REMAIN IN PRODUCTION?

We aim to keep Zero 2 W in production until at least January 2028.


CREDITS

Products like Zero 2 W draw on the skills of the entire Raspberry Pi team. Aside
from Simon, particular thanks are due to Roger Thornton for compliance, Phil
Elwell for firmware, and Mike Buffham for commercials.

I’d like to thank our partners at Broadcom, Micron and ASE for their help in
making RP3A0 a reality. Like most Raspberry Pi products, Zero 2 W is built at
the Sony UK Technology Centre, in Pencoed, South Wales: we couldn’t do this
without them.

O.k. Thanks for the feedback.

To me this looks like a uFL socket footprint and a small resistor can be used
for connecting it (disabling the onboard antenna) .. But I might be wrong.

Cost reason or board space? It is quite hard to find 5GHz devices for small/IOT
stuff and 2.4GHz space is crowded. Recently found just one – the BW16, RTL8720DN

this, but still great upgrade, many thanks for that.

28th October 2021, 8:19 am

I agree 100%, what the focus should be is server OR client:
– To me the original Raspberry 2 still holds the server crown in Gflops/W with
the IO limits of the SD card.
– Raspberry 4 has an underdimensioned GPU compared to the CPU but can be used as
a calculation server for heavier (non SD card) related duties.
The missing device is a Zero with more powerful GPU than the Raspberry 4!!!

Yup, just you (the the guy above!). People have been asking for a LONG time for
a more powerful Zero. And here it is! As for 512KB of RAM being a limitation –
just write better code! You only need huge amounts of RAM for things like web
browsers, and for the use cases Zero’s get used for, that not all that common.
Zero’s get used for robots and get stuffed in to small devices to provide
processing power, not desktop capabilities.

Is the raspberry pi open hardware ?
Do you have gerber files, pick and place files and BOM files that I could load
up at my favourite PCB fab (starts with J) and get a Pi this way ? Are the
components widely available or are they only available to the RPi foundation ?

I ask mostly because I would like to make minor changes to the RPi02W, namely
add a full sized HDMI connector and turn it into an HDMI dongle. Also I would
like to make a slightly longer version with a USB hub on board. And lastly I
would like to make a slightly longer version with a usb hub and an ethernet port
and an hdmi usb input chip.
And then republish those new gerber and etc. files as new open hardware clone Pi
variants.

The decision to stick to the microUSB ports instead of USB-C is

RASPBERRY PI STAFF ALASDAIR ALLAN

28th October 2021, 8:24 am

USB-C is more expensive, and this is a Raspberry Pi Zero, and expensive matters
when we’re trying to squeeze everything into the price point. But beyond that,
and probably the crucial thing is board space, USB-C takes more board space and
there really wasn’t any to spare. Simon had to squeeze things really hard to get
everything into the same form factor.

Reply to Alasdair Allan

Compatibility is important – going to USB C would mean Zero cases would no

Would the new board run on a standard pc usb like the Zero W, or does it need

same with the new one or do I need a dedicated PSU?
Thanks

Unfortunately, the idle current for the Zero 2 W is slightly higher than the
original Zero, and powering a Zero from a laptop or TV USB was pretty marginal
depending on how it was loaded. You’ll need a separate power supply.

It wasn’t technically feasible to stack two 512MB DRAM dies on top of the CPU
die for architectural reasons, and a 1GB monodie isn’t available, and if it was
available it would be too large and would therefore take up too much board real
estate, so we’d be unable to maintain the Zero form factor.

The CM4 (and 1,3) allow access to the 4 lane CSI. Unfortunately, adding it to

break a lot of backwards compatibility. It would also be very difficult to route
on a PCB the size of the Zero.

Congratulations again to all at Raspberry Pi Trading ! When things return to

even before the current global supply constraint situation ? It’s great to see
