About the General purpose registers PCB
General purpose registers is an open source PCB design by ifilot, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 101.6 × 27.9 mm, with 23 components from 12 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 74HC00, 74HC273 and 74HC245. By type, the board carries 10 diodes, 4 resistors, 3 ICs, 3 connectors and 3 capacitors.
From the project
Modular 8-bit computer built with TTL logic units to create a "Simple as Possible" system
This project showcases the design and construction of a modular 8-bit computer built with TTL logic units. The core principle behind the project is to create a "Simple as Possible" system, focusing on simplicity, modularity, and compactness.
- TTL Logic-Based Design: The computer is built using traditional TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) components, adhering to a fundamental, hands-on approach to computing. - Modular Architecture: Designed for modularity, each functional unit (ALU, registers, memory, control logic, etc.) is implemented as a separate module, allowing for easy debugging…
