2 open source boards using the Buck Converter
Real designs built with the Buck Converter, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the Buck Converter use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1) and STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the Buck Converter?
The median is 96.9 × 73.5 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the Buck Converter?
By GitHub stars, BLDC-Motor-Controller-STM32 by yussufadel8, with 1 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the Buck Converter before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
