Overview
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest product in our most affordable range of single-board
computers. The successor to the breakthrough Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
is a form factor–compatible drop-in replacement for the original board.
The board incorporates a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, clocked at 1GHz.
At its heart is a Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP), integrating a Broadcom
BCM2710A1 die with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM. The upgraded processor provides
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with 40% more single-threaded performance, and five times more
multi-threaded performance, than the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero.
Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W offers 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2, along
with support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and modular compliance certification.
The board has a microSD card slot, a CSI-2 camera connector, a USB On-The-Go (OTG)
port, and an unpopulated footprint for a HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. It is powered
via a micro USB socket. Video output is via a mini HDMI port; composite video output
can easily be made available via test points if needed.
Sharing the same form factor as the original Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
fits inside most existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases.
