Newark element14 announces the launch of Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+, bringing the latest features and capabilities to a more compact form factor and lower price point. Like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, launched in March 2018, it boasts a 64-bit quad core Broadcom BCM2837 processor running at 1.4 GHz, adding significant performance enhancements over the previous model. The board also adds dual-band wireless networking, delivering 2.4GHz and 5GHz IEEE 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2 with modular compliance certification. This allows the board to be designed into end products with significantly reduced compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market for professional developers
Additional features of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ include:
- 512MB LPDDR2 SDRAM
- Extended 40-pin GPIO header
- 1 × full-size HDMI, MIPI DSI display port, MIPI CSI camera port, 4 pole stereo output and composite video port
- H.264, MPEG-4 decode (1080p30); H.264 encode (1080p30); OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 graphics
- Micro SD format for loading operating system and data storage
- 5 V/2.5 A DC via micro USB connector, 5 V DC via GPIO header
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is available to buy from Newark element14 in North America, element14 in Asia pacific, Farnell element14 across Europe and CPC in the UK and Ireland.
