Registers
About the Registers PCB
Registers is an open source PCB design by Robert-Riordan-UCD, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 89.8 × 50.6 mm, with 27 components from 9 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SN74HCT245N and 74LS173. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 8 diodes, 6 connectors, 3 ICs and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
PCB version of Ben Eaters 8-bit breadboard computer
This is my version of Ben Eaters 8-bit breadboard SAP-1 CPU, converted to a PCB. I have made some minor changes as I could not find all of the components as listed in Ben's part list.
1. RAM IC's have been replaced with ATMega328-PU's. This should allow me to have persistant programs between power cycles.

Registers: common questions
How big is the Registers PCB?
The Registers measures 89.8 × 50.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Registers?
27 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Registers design files?
From the Robert-Riordan-UCD/8_Bit_CPU_PCB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Registers design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license, which Robert-Riordan-UCD chose for the repository.
