What’s On Board
BCM2712
BCM2712 is a new quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor from Broad-com, clocked at 2.4GHz, with 512KB per-core L2 caches, and a 2MB shared L3 cache. Cortex-A76 is three micro architectural generations beyond Cortex-A72, a better manufacturing process makes a faster Raspberry Pi 5 with lower power consumption.
An updated Video Core hardware video scaler (HVS) is capable of driving two simultaneous 4Kp60 HDMI-compatible displays, up from single 4Kp60 or dual 4Kp30 on Raspberry Pi 4.
RP1
RP1 is the I/O controller designed for Raspberry Pi 5, provides two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 interfaces; a Gigabit Ethernet controller; two four-lane MI-PI transceivers for camera and display; analogue video output; 3.3V general-purpose I/O (GPIO); and the usual collection of GPIO-multiplexed low-speed interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, and PWM). A four-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface provides a 16Gb/s link back to BCM2712.
DA9091
DA9091 is a power-management IC (PMIC) of the chip set. This integrates eight separate switch-mode power supplies to generate the various voltages required by the board, including a quad-phase core supply, capable of providing 20 amps of current to power the Cortex-A76 cores and other digital logic in BCM2712.
Updated Layout
• 2 × 4-lane MIPI DSI/CSI port, compatible with CSI-2 camera and DSI display
• Adapting PCIe 2.0 interface via FPC connector, supports high-speed peripherals
