Overview

A500 pwr is an open-source printed circuit board by MastaTabs, from the MastaTabs/a500spwr repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 33.5 × 43.8 mm with 20 parts on 19 nets, routed with 89 tracks and 30 vias.

It is built around the LMZM23600SILT, RPM5.0-6.0 and PJ-102A, with the RMS1R102M7QES among its other parts. Its parts include 7 capacitors, 4 resistors, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 2 inductors. It belongs with the power and retro computing and games boards of this library.

Amiga500 single power

This is a DCDC converter Module to fit in Rev. 6a+ Amiga 500 mainboards. It will be soldered onto the mainboard and one can then use a 12V barrel jack power supply with the Amiga 500.

It can deliver upto 6A @ 5V and 500mA @ -12V. The 12V line is passed through.

It also adds a power switch to the machine on the backside.

Questions

How big is the A500 pwr PCB?

It measures 33.5 × 43.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the A500 pwr use?

20 parts, built around the LMZM23600SILT, RPM5.0-6.0, PJ-102A and RMS1R102M7QES. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the A500 pwr KiCad files?

From the MastaTabs/a500spwr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is a500_pwr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the A500 pwr design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MastaTabs before reusing the design.
