DRV8835: common questions
Where can I find a DRV8835 reference design?
Each of the 9 boards on this page is a real design using the DRV8835. 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 DRV8835 use?
Most are built on STM32 (6), ESP8266 (1), NXP (1) and Microchip SAM (1).
How big is a typical board using the DRV8835?
The median is 66 × 72.8 mm, and 89% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the DRV8835?
By GitHub stars, Makennbot by idlehandsdev, with 175 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the DRV8835 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.
