    EV-K0-HCD Evaluation Kit User’s Manual 2. HARDWARE The EV-K0-HCD board measures 3.15 × 3.15 inches or 80 × 80 millimeters (mm). This small form factor is enabled by the use of components such as inductors that are small in size thanks to the µPD78F8024 MCU’s constant-current drives with high switching frequency.
