Denise's Pins

I'm very slowly putting together an adapter PCB that can plug into the RGB header pins on the Amiga 600 Junior board and feed the signals to an RGB2HDMI board. To do that, I needed to know the pinout for Amiga's Super Denise chip, and I couldn't find a decent pinout diagram online, so here's one I put together myself, just in case anyone else might find it useful:

Building an Amiga 600 Junior

Image
The Amiga 600 is the smallest of the Amigas (apart from the CD32, but that doesn’t have a keyboard), which makes it the ideal non-AGA Amiga to have on my cramped desk. However, with the Amiga 600 being over 30 years old now and Commodore having used terrible quality capacitors in its construction, most Amiga 600s have leaking capacitors and a motherboard that has suffered the consequences - corroded PCB traces, solder joints and components. I bought an Amiga 600 on eBay that was in very nice external physical condition, but it wouldn’t boot. Replacing the reset circuit capacitor didn’t fix it either. Inspecting the board, I could see a lot of corrosion around many of the surface-mount capacitors. The board was beyond repair, at least with my skills. I searched online for replacement motherboards, and I found out about the Amiga 600 Junior . This was just what I was looking for - a brand new PCB that I could transplant components from my poorly Amiga 600 onto! I am lazy, so I ordered th...

A600 Junior RGB to HDMI

Image
The A600 Junior motherboard has some very useful improvements compared to the original Amiga 600 motherboard. One such improvement is a bunch of through-holes under where the RF modulator usually goes (and can indeed go, if you're that way inclined) that provide all the signals required by RGB to HDMI adaptor boards, and also 5V and GND for power: The RGB signal through-holes are designed to take 2mm-pitch header pins, while the 5V and GND through holes accept the slightly larger 2.54mm-pitch pins, as you can see, here (credit: idoregesz.hu): There is no universal standard for RGB to HDMI boards, so no adapter exists that you can just plug into the Junior's RGB pins. I bought a basic RGB to HDMI board that looks something like this: I then mapped out the flat flex connector pins on the Denise adapter board: Now all I needed to do was get a PCB made that maps the Junior's RGB and power pins to these FPC connector pins. I went on easyeda.com and knocked up a simple design. A ...
