What parts are used alongside the 4081?

The 4001, 40106 and 4013 appear in the most repositories here.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the 4081 use?

Most are built on STM32 (2) and AVR/Arduino (1).

How big is a typical board using the 4081?

The median is 100 × 100 mm, and 75% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the 4081?

By GitHub stars, SNES-FeRAM-Cart by soniccd123, with 87 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the 4081 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.
