Board
About the Board
Board is an open source FPGA PCB design by c0pperdragon, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 43.2 × 53.3 mm, with 70 components from 20 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the 10M02SCE144, from the FPGA family. By type, the board carries 29 resistors, 28 capacitors, 3 inductors, 1 IC and 1 crystal.
It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.
From the project
FPGA board to create a component video signal for vintage computers.
A small FPGA board with a component video interface to directly drive an analog monitor or TV input. Its main purpose is to create component video / RGB mods of vintage home computers and consoles or to provide video output for hobby projects.
It consists of the purest minimum parts necessary to have a multi-purpose FPGA combined with a simple way to generate a YPbPr signal. After much research I finally settled on a cheap MAX 10 device in a TQFP-144 package which I can solder by hand (barely). The rest of the parts are pretty cheap and quite easy to solder.

Board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Board use?
The Board is built around the 10M02SCE144, from the FPGA family.
How big is the Board?
The Board measures 43.2 × 53.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Board?
70 components, from 20 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Board design files?
From the c0pperdragon/A-VideoBoard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Board design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which c0pperdragon chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Board without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug FPGA firmware against it before you order a PCB.
