Microcontrollers on boards using the 5V_STEP_UP
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.
