What boards using the PCA9500 are built for
PCA9500: common questions
Where can I find a PCA9500 reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the PCA9500. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
How big is a typical board using the PCA9500?
The median is 100 × 77 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the PCA9500?
By GitHub stars, Arc module by andrew-bolin, with 6 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the PCA9500 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.
