Introducing the New Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

The second version of the tiny and powerful fan favorite, building on the success of the current Zero family, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is built around a Raspberry Pi-designed System-in-Package, which integrates the BCM2710A1 die used in Raspberry Pi 3 with 512MB of RAM. The exact performance uplift over Zero varies across workloads, but for multi-threaded sysbench it is almost exactly five times faster.

Key features:

• 1GHz quad-core, 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 CPU

• VideoCore IV GPU • 512MB LPDDR2 DRAM

• 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN

•Bluetooth 4.2 / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

• MicroSD card slot

• Mini HDMI and USB 2.0 OTG ports

• Micro USB power

• HAT-compatible 40-pin header

• Composite video and reset pins via solder test points

• CSI camera connector

Foot Print

The Raspbery Pi Zero 2 W uses the same Footprint as the previous Raspberry Pi Zero W model.
65mm x 30mm (x 5.2mm maximum z-height)

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. - Raspberry Pi 2021

Secrets of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Simon Martin, who designed the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and the RP3A0 package that powers it, 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.

Modular Radio Certification for Using Raspberry Pi Zero V2 in your own product design

Zero 2 W has FCC modular certification!

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W has 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. - Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi Zero V2 Power Supply

The Raspberry Pi Zero uses a Micro USB Power supply, the official power supply comes in US, EU, UK, AU and IN sockets.
