About the Super DMG CPU PCB
Super DMG CPU is an open source PCB design by kamicane, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 83 × 78.5 mm, with 42 components from 21 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LPW5209B5F-21. By type, the board carries 21 capacitors, 11 resistors, 1 IC, 1 crystal, 1 connector and 1 switch.
It belongs with the audio, power & battery and retro computing designs in this gallery.
From the project
A Recreation of the Original Game Boy, With a Few Modern Twists
Super DMG CPU works with both IPS and DOT MATRIX LCD boards.
The schematic is largely based on the work done by bit 9.
I used Gekkio KiCAD libs for a few symbols (cpu, ram, cart connector, link port). The specialized footprints were traced by me using fusion 360, using these scans by bit 9 as a reference.
v1.8 and below have an error with the Link Port, where the footprint was flipped (sigh). If you have a v1.8 or below please don't use the link port, as it might damage the other Game Boy! This was fixed in later versions.
