2 open source boards using the L7980
Real designs built with the L7980, 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.

Microcontrollers on boards using the L7980
L7980: common questions
Where can I find a L7980 reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the L7980. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the L7980 use?
Most are built on FPGA (2).
How big is a typical board using the L7980?
The median is 106.6 × 83.3 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the L7980?
By GitHub stars, Fmcw by matthuszagh, with 66 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the L7980 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.
