About the SGR PCB

SGR is an open source PCB design by Jackv-makes, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 20 × 20 mm, with 10 components from 4 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the MCP1642B-50I/MS. By type, the board carries 4 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 inductor.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

A Simple Gameboy Pocket/Color Regulator that uses the MCP1642B boost regulator IC

Troubleshooting is done at my discretion, the design is simple enough that it will either work or not. I am not responsible for blown fuses, fires, injuries, etc. that may happen if things are done incorrectly.
