Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Extreme Teardown

A look at the silicon dies on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

Your welcome to ramble on for hours.

[@RoGeorgeRoGeorge]

Same! :o) Would have gladly listen for a couple more hours about decapped chips. Thanks for the teardown, that was extremely interesting!

[@etcetera1129]

Agree, I’ll be watching those hour long videos. It’s just amazing to peek under the hood and marvel at the amount of genius that went into making these devices.

[@addisme7561]

I must say Sir, I’ve been hoping and looking forward to a video from you for quite a while, the no nonsense, straight to the point and delivered with intelligence and insight. Thanks 👍🏻

[@johnbartlet6669]

I love your tear-downs, thank you very much!

[@station240]

Nice to see how the silicon is inside.

[@Bestcuriosity_1]

best teardown in depth analysis thanks for it from India

[@s3vR3x]

So happy you’re back!!!!!

[@rosco0567]

Mostly not a clue what your talking about🤣 but all your videos are incredibly fascinating. Thank you.

[@hardscorerockkssss]

good to see you electronupdate still alive during covid 19 pandemic..i hope you upload new video soon.wish you lots good health

[@jon_raymond]

Great to see another video from you! Really enjoy them and thank your for sharing your knowledge!

[@FordTransitvan]

Phew, was worried about you. So glad you're back.

[@BubblegumCrash332]

Man these videos are amazing!! I could listen all day 👍

[@BGTech1]

Some things I would like you to decap: Dollar store “digital” timer Old Tv remote Birthday card that plays music

[@WitoldWitkowski]

Excellent video as always. And I would love a multi hour super deep dive video that you teased. Just turn the camera on and talk about it.

[@legend_6483]

this is incredibly amazing its like discovering new planet

[@polkijain97]

Thanks a ton for the teardown. I was wondering what core IP does the news pi zero 2 use, so as to design products around the chip. I have a lot of answers now! Keep doing the good work.

[@VIPINSAINI_20]

Wonderful work, thanks for sharing It's been long since video came,

[@rpavlik1]

Again a really excellent video! Really cool to see inside all this stuff.

[@johnydeepthroat]

Great video! Always look forward to new posts from you. Are you interested in receiving samples of anything in particular. I’m probably not alone in wanting to mail you chips to tear down. Again, thanks for all the great content.

[@agenericaccount3935]

Hope you are doing well. Great teardown as usual. Raspberry is the king of thrift engineering.

[@aDaWaN]

Wow, Elpida dissolved in 2012, that particular DRAM must be 40nm or larger technology. I really wonder who keeps producing those parts, some factory in China acquired the masks for it? Also makes you wonder how real this component crisis truly is, if some factory can keep building such huge ancient dies at a profit.

[@kasparroosalu]

Elpida became Micron subsidiary.

[@BShah16]

Thank you for the really informative video! It's fascinating to see what RPI decided to include on the board. Did their earlier boards include as much custom packaging or licensed IP?

[@WizardTim]

Wasn’t expecting the DRAM to be the larger of the two dies especially seeing as it’s only 512 MB!

[@beatadalhagen]

Don't you get 8 or 32 of those DRAM dies on a PC memory module? DRAM takes a lot of on-die support logic, the refreshes and all that. Similar issue with home network routers, generally 1 or maybe 2 memory chips, so 64MB is common and then you get denser dies on the upscale model snf 256MB taking the same landing pad as the 64MB.

[@combin8or]

M1 Max next, please?

[@drkastenbrot]

you wont see anything on it with an optical microscope, and even with an electron microscope you would need to remove metallization layers.

[@Jishan007]

😍

[@fouzaialaa7962]

it would be interesting to compare the RPI connection to the ram chip sandwiched underneath it ..... and is it possible to find a bigger capacity RAM chip with identical pins .... the RPI downfall was always the lack of RAM ..... maybe a bigger capacity RAM chip from the new RPI 4 ?

[@kiwifpv5865]

Thank you for the video...I see you have another one for the voltage regulator on the Pi Zero...I think mine is fried so I was wondering if you know if the PAM2306KE is the same as the 2306KE TDA 1H (I think at least TDA 1H) on the Pi Zero 2 W - so far I havent't beena ble to find anything on that chip. Cheers

[@polkijain97]

Do you think the large video buffer and coprocessor can also help in camera/video input capabilities?

[@NathanCroucher]

Im here to see if it has a fuse 😔

[@davidmunoz5441]

Hello, could you help me? I would need to know which black medium component is the one on the top right. Below the GPIO pins. If you need I can send you a photo. Thank you

[@irwankusuma9022]

Sir pliss tetadwon samrtphone chip like qulacom or meditek i hope so

[@jakp8777]

It’s been awhile…..

[@anthonynowlan9765]

If the cpu is 7 years old why only used now? What year for the previous?
