- Model: RASPBERRY PI B+
The Model B+ is the final
revision of the original Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Model B in July 2014 and
was superseded by the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B in February 2015. Compared to the
Model B it has:
More GPIO. The GPIO header has
grown to 40 pins, while retaining the same pinout for the first 26 pins as the
Model A and B.
More USB. We now have 4 USB 2.0
ports, compared to 2 on the Model B, and better hotplug and overcurrent
behaviour.
Micro SD. The old friction-fit
SD card socket has been replaced with a much nicer push-push micro SD version.
Lower power consumption. By
replacing linear regulators with switching ones we’ve reduced power consumption
by between 0.5W and 1W.
Better audio. The audio circuit
incorporates a dedicated low-noise power supply.
Neater form factor. We’ve aligned the USB connectors with the board edge, moved composite video onto the 3.5mm jack, and added four squarely-placed mounting holes.
