Microcontrollers on boards using the REF3012

REF3012: common questions

Where can I find a REF3012 reference design?

Each of the 4 boards on this page is a real design using the REF3012. 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 REF3012 use?

Most are built on FPGA (2).

How big is a typical board using the REF3012?

The median is 112 × 79.5 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the REF3012?

By GitHub stars, ZynqBoard2 by tamapochi1, with 2 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the REF3012 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.
