Re: [N8VEM-S100:1536] Z80 CPU board part issue



Hi Pete,
  As others have noted, the 1K sips with be fine but I had the same question last year so I asked the hardware designer John Monahan on the S100computers.com website hardware forum and below are the details.  I couldn't figure how to link directly so I copied/edited/pasted the important details.

 Hi John & All, I've got my blank z80 PCB with me and have looked at the schematics & have a quick question regarding the use of 1.1k resistor SIPs for RR2, RR3 & RR4. It looks like a simple pull up for the inputs to the shift register so I am wondering why 1.1k and not 1k. The reason I am asking is I have lots of 1K SIPs but no 1.1K SIPs and the 1.1K SIPS seemed to be harder to find. I assume there is a reason these were chosen so I wanted to find out the reason.
Thanks, Jeff Galinat

 Hi Jeff, definitely you can use 1K's. There seems to be some tradition going way back as to what pull-up’s should be. I've seen 1K, 1.1K, 1.2K even 2K and 5K. You are balancing noise immunity against total board power needed

 Hi John, I forgot to add in my last post that 1K SIPs are used as pullups at RR5, RR6, RR8 and RR9 & since 1Ks can also be used at RR2, RR3 & RR4, the BOM/parts list could be simplified to all 1k SIPS except for RR7 which is 4.7k.

Hello,

I'm trying to put together the Z80 CPU board and ran into an issue regarding the 1.1K bussed resistor networks -- I can't find them in stock anywhere (eBay, Mouser, Digikey, etc.). I believe a compatible part number is Bourns 4610X-101-112. I need 3 of these -- anyone know of a source or have some extra they'd be willing to sell?

Thanks much,
