Overview

Transfer register board is an open-source printed circuit board by lafehubert, from the lafehubert/electronics repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 99.5 × 49.7 mm with 40 parts on 75 nets, routed with 779 tracks and 42 vias.

It is built around the 74LS157PC, 74LS173SC and SN74LS04N. Its parts include 15 diodes, 8 capacitors, 8 ICs, 7 resistors and 1 connector.

README

ya4b/slow-clock/README.md

This slow clock was initially inspired by Ben Eater's design (https://eater.net/8bit/clock) but I found the 555 to be too fiddly for the monostable stage, and overkill for the bistable stage, so I used a 74LS123 for the former and an R-S latch made from a couple of NANDs on a 74LS00 for the latter. I also replaced the 74LS04 with a 74LS14 which seemed to clean up the waveform a good bit.

Questions

How big is the Transfer register board PCB?

It measures 99.5 × 49.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Transfer register board use?

40 parts, built around the 74LS157PC, 74LS173SC and SN74LS04N. 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 Transfer register board KiCad files?

From the lafehubert/electronics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ya4b/transfer-register/transfer-register-board/transfer-register-board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Transfer register board design in my own project?

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