Denise_to_FPGA

A small adapter-board that connects 12-bit RGB, 14 MHz CLK, PIXELSW and SYNC-signals on Denise to a FPGA-board via a 5V-tolerant buffer. A synchronous 14 MHz clock is generated from C7M XOR CDAC by using a 74LVC1G86-chip. This will be fed into the FPGA's PLL.

Board is two layers.

Questions

How big is the Denise to FPGA PCB?

It measures 97 × 26.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Denise to FPGA use?

21 parts, built around the 74LVC162244ADL, 74LVC1G57GV and LM1117-3.3. 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 Denise to FPGA KiCad files?

From the jbilander/Denise_to_FPGA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/DENISE_to_FPGA.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Denise to FPGA design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
