What boards using the 5V_STEP_UP are built for

5V_STEP_UP: common questions

Where can I find a 5V_STEP_UP reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the 5V_STEP_UP. 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 5V_STEP_UP use?

Most are built on AVR/Arduino (2).

How big is a typical board using the 5V_STEP_UP?

The median is 87.9 × 96.8 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the 5V_STEP_UP?

By GitHub stars, KOTH V2 by Salted-Peanuts, with 4 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the 5V_STEP_UP 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.
