The design is three chips system with 8080 CPU, 8224 Oscillator and 8228 bus controller. I used the same platform of my design for microprocessor trainer kit. The board is square PCB with approx. 170mm x 170mm dimensions. The 8080 CPU needs three power supplies, +5V, +12V and -5V. The old day design simply uses linear power supply with multiple turns of a low frequency transformer. However I got the idea to use switching regulators to provide +12V and -5V. The 7805 voltage regulator is for +5V. For +12V, I used DC-to-DC converter MC34063. And for -5V I used Intersil 7660. These voltage regulators are placed on the PCB, so the DC input will need only single jack. The kit can be powered with AC adapter +7.5VDC.
