Product Change Notification
Notification ID
25
Notification date
25th March 2025
Title
Change of Raspberry Pi CM5 IO board to revision 2
Products Affected
CM5 IO board
Reason for Change
Improved fan control, minor BOM improvments
Change Description
Old PCB revision: 1
Old software model number: N/A
New PCB revision: 2
New software model number: N/A
Raspberry Pi Ltd have extensively tested and qualified alternatives which closely match the original parts in terms of
specification and performance.
Mechanical (Form, Fit, Function) Changes
No change
Electrical
Changes to the PCB to improve fan control in shutdown states.
Adds a pullup resistor to the FAN output to support fans that don’t have an internal pullup. This also ensure the fan is
turned off during power down as CM5_3.3v will be low.
Simplify the LED driving circuit to remove a superfluous buffer.
Notification ID 3

Silkscreen
Fixes silkscreen errors for the USB_OTG_ID pin and Sync_Out pin.
Software/Firmware Changes Required
None
Transition Date(s)
April 2025
There will be a transition period where both old and new units are available in the distribution channel.
Identification Method to Distinguish Change
The new product can be distinguished by visual inspection of the top surface of the PCB. The silkscreen now has R2
indicated just below the Compute Module 5 IO board graphic, which is in turn below the Raspberry Pi Logo. See the red
box in the image below.
