RP2350 now available at JLCPCB
We’re pleased to announce that as of today, our RP2350 microcontroller is now available via JLCPCB’s fantastic fast-turn PCB assembly service.
RP2350 is our latest high-performance, secure microcontroller, offering unparalleled levels of processing and flexibility at its very affordable price point. Now that rapid assembly of RP2350-based boards is available from JLCPCB, prototyping and initial production of your designs is straightforward and speedy.
Before users submit a design to JLC, we’re asking that they do the following:
- Read and follow our RP2350 hardware design guide here
- Use the Abracon ABM8-272-T3 12 MHz crystal oscillator
- If using the on-chip SMPS, please use the custom Abracon polarised inductor
- Familiarise themselves with the RP2350 datasheet including chip errata
This is to help ensure the designs will function well across temperature and process variations. We also provide a helpful reference design in KiCAD format here.
We’re huge fans of JLC’s PCB services and it’s been great working with them to bring RP2350 into their inventory of processors. To learn more about their service, visit the JLCPCB website.
Initially, the RP2350A and B package versions are available via JLCPCB. The RP2354A and B versions (the package versions with stacked flash) will be available at JLCPCB, as well as other distributors and authorised resellers, later this year.

When will the RP2350A chips themselves be released?

Still saying 30 days lead time and won’t let me buy any

You may care to correct the list of recommendations where you say “Use the Abracon ABM8-272-T3 12 MHz crystal oscillator”.
ABM8-272-T3 is _not_ a crystal oscillator, it’s a crystal. That’s not just me being pedantic – using an external crystal oscillator (rather than a simple crystal and the RP2350’s internal oscillator) is an alternative design approach, and the wording used here makes it unclear which you are recommending.

JLCPCB block my design as I did not use the recommenced Inductance.. :( I use the one used by solderparty, as the correct one has 30 days of delay

This requirement was recently dropped as part of the checkout process. Please try submitting your design again. We strongly recommend following all the guidelines in our “Hardware design with RP2350” guide. Cheers,
Chris

This is a fairly interesting arrangement and this announcement is rather terse. Would you be willing to share how did you arrive at this timed exclusivity deal? Is this mostly a financial matter?

Just got my boards from JLC. The inductor was the wrong way around. Seems to work fine anyway. When can I expect problems?
Nick
Hi, I think 2 conductor inductors are not normally polarised so they can be attached either way round.
Martin Cockerell
The ‘Hardware Design with RP2350’ guide explains why a ‘polarised’ inductor was developed by Abracon for this application, so it’s disappointing that JLC installed it the wrong way round.

“Initially, the RP2350A and B package versions are available via JLCPCB. The RP2354A and B versions (the package versions with stacked flash) will be available at JLCPCB, as well as other distributors and authorised resellers, later this year.”
That’s… A bit ambiguous. Please tell me both the xxx0 and xxx4 chips are going to be on sale at other distributors soon. If this is some timed exclusivity deal with JLCPCB that’s going to be really disappointing.

JLCPCB is working on my RP2350 design right now. Raspberry Pi told me chips would be generally available “in the summer”.
