SC1111, Raspberry Pi 5 – 4GB

<p>The Raspberry Pi 5 features three newly designed chips, each specifically created to deliver a significant performance boost.</p> <h2>BCM2712</h2> <ul> <li>BCM2712 is a cutting-edge 16-nanometer application processor from Broadcom, evolving from the 28-nanometer BCM2711 processor found in Raspberry Pi 4. It includes multiple architectural improvements.</li> <li>Powered by a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor clocked at 2.4GHz.</li> <li>Features 512KB per-core L2 cache and a 2MB shared L3 cache.</li> <li>The Cortex-A76 offers enhanced instructions per clock (IPC) and lower energy consumption per instruction than the Cortex-A72.</li> <li>Combining the newer architecture, higher clock speed, and advanced process geometry, Raspberry Pi 5 is significantly faster while using less power.</li> </ul> <h2>RP1</h2> <ul> <li>Unlike previous Raspberry Pi models with a monolithic AP architecture, the RP1 provides a more efficient solution by offloading some I/O functions from the main processor.</li> <li>Earlier models relied on external devices (e.g., Via Labs VL805 USB controller, Microchip LAN951x USB hub), but this method became technically and economically unsustainable with advancements in process nodes.</li> </ul> <h2>DA9091</h2> <ul> <li>The Renesas DA9091 “Gilmour” power-management IC (PMIC) is the third key component, supporting the BCM2712 and RP1 chips.</li> <li>Integrates eight separate switch-mode power supplies to manage the required voltages for the Raspberry Pi 5.</li> <li>Features a quad-phase core supply, delivering up to 20 amps of current to power the Cortex-A76 cores and other digital logic components in the BCM2712.</li> </ul> <h2>Key Features</h2> <ul> <li>Processor: 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU</li> <li>GPU: VideoCore VII, supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2</li> <li>Display: Dual 4Kp60 HDMI® output</li> <li>Video: 4Kp60 HEVC decoder</li> <li>Wireless Connectivity: Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth 5.0, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)</li> <li>Storage: High-speed microSD card interface with SDR104 mode support</li> <li>USB Ports:</li> <ul> <li>2 × USB 3.0 ports with simultaneous 5Gbps operation</li> <li>2 × USB 2.0 ports</li> </ul> <li>Ethernet: Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ support (separate PoE+ HAT required)</li> <li>I/O Interfaces:</li> <ul> <li>2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers</li> <li>PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for high-speed peripherals</li> </ul> <li>GPIO Header: Raspberry Pi standard 40-pin GPIO header</li> <li>Additional Features:</li> <ul> <li>Real-time clock</li> <li>Power button</li> </ul> </ul>
