Power Management HAT for Raspberry Pi

This RP2040-based power management HAT offers lots of features to give you full and flexible power control for your Raspberry Pi project.

The HAT allows you to power your project via the USB-C port or PH2.0 LiPo battery header with fast switching between them when in use. Whilst powered up, the HAT also offers voltage and current monitoring, and will charge your connected LiPo battery too!

It has its own RP2040 dual-core Arm Cortex M0+ processor along with Pico-layout pads to connect Pico HATs and add-on (you’ll need to solder some headers on first, not included) – a unique feature we haven’t seen on a Raspberry Pi HAT previously!

To support power management and timings, a real-time clock is onboard for accurate tracking of the current time while also providing alarms, timers and interrupts (battery back, CR1220 required) which can also be used to reduce power consumption.

You’ll also find POWER/BOOT/RESET buttons, a 2-pin fan header, power and status indicator LEDs.

Note: the Raspberry Pi and the battery are not included.
