Raspberry hardware

Now let's look at the electronic side.

Power

5V 2.5A DC via micro USB connector

The GPIO ports on a Raspberry Pi are rated for about 16 mA of current flow each, with a total of 40 mA across all GPIO ports combined. When designing circuits that interface with the GPIO ports, keep this limit in mind. Make sure you provide adequate current-limiting resistors to avoid damaging your Pi.

Processor

Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC, 1.4 GHz with 1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM

Extended GPIO

Extended 40 pin GPIO port

HDMI

Full size HDMI

CSI Camera connector

CSI Camera Connector The Raspberry Pi camera module is capable of taking full HD 1080p photo and video and can be controlled programmatically.

The Camera Serial Interface (CSI) is a specification of the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance. It defines an interface between a camera and a host processor. The latest active interface specification is CSI-3 which was released in 2012
