Which microcontrollers do boards using the LAN8720A use?
Most are built on ESP32 (8), FPGA (1) and NXP (1).
How big is a typical board using the LAN8720A?
The median is 85 × 72 mm, and 70% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the LAN8720A?
By GitHub stars, Dc power supply by dc-power-supply, with 29 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the LAN8720A 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.
