TCA9801: common questions
Where can I find a TCA9801 reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the TCA9801. 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 TCA9801 use?
Most are built on STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the TCA9801?
The median is 87.5 × 75.7 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the TCA9801?
By GitHub stars, Quasar Backplane by petrinm, with 6 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the TCA9801 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.
