What boards using the 4N35 are built for

4N35: common questions

Where can I find a 4N35 reference design?

Each of the 11 boards on this page is a real design using the 4N35. 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 4N35 use?

Most are built on NXP (5) and AVR/Arduino (1).

How big is a typical board using the 4N35?

The median is 85.8 × 61 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the 4N35?

By GitHub stars, Precharge by LSUTigerRacing, with 7 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the 4N35 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.
