Hell is terms like ASIC, FPGA, and PPU

I haven't been doing any public updates on this for a bit, but I am still working on this bizarre rabbit hole quest of designing my own (probably) 16-bit game console. The controller is maybe done now, on a design level. Like I have parts for everything sourced and a layout for the internal PCB. I don't have a fully tested working prototype yet because I am in the middle of a huge financial crisis and don't have the cash laying around to send out to have boards printed and start rapidly iterating design on the 3D printed bits (housing the scroll wheel is going to be a little tricky). I should really spend my creative energy focusing on software development for a nice little demo ROM (or like, short term projects to earn money I desperately need) but my brain's kinda stuck in circuitry gear so I'm thinking more about what's going into the actual console itself. This may get techie.

So... in the broadest sense, and I think I've mentioned this before, I want to make this a 16-bit system (which is a term with a pretty murky definition), maybe 32-bit? And since I'm going to all this trouble I want to give my project here a little something extra the consoles from that era didn't have. And at the same time, I'd like to be able to act as a bridge for the sort of weirdos who are currently actively making new games for those systems to start working on this, on a level of "if you would do this on this console with this code, here's how you would do it on mine." This makes for a hell of a lot of research on my end, but trust me, it gets worse!

So let's talk about the main strengths of the 2D game consoles everyone knows and loves. Oh and just now while looking for some visual aids maybe I stumbled across this site, which is actually great as a sort of mid-level overview of all this stuff. Short version though-

The SNES (or Super Famicom) does what it does by way of a combination of really going all in on direct memory access, and particularly having a dedicated setup for doing so between scanlines, coupled with a bunch of dedicated graphical modes specialized for different use cases, and you know, that you can switch between partway through drawing a screen. And of course the feature everyone knows and loves where you can have one polygon and do all sorts of fun things with it.

The Genesis (or Megadrive) has an actual proper 16-bit processor instead of this weird upgraded 6502 like the SNES had for a scrapped backwards compatibility plan. It also had this frankly wacky design where they just kinda took the guts out of a Sega Master System and had them off to the side as a segregated system whose only real job is managing the sound chip, one of those good good Yamaha synths with that real distinct sound... oh and they also actually did have a backwards compatibility deal that just kinda used the audio side to emulate an SMS, basically.

The TurboGrafix-16 (or PC Engine) really just kinda went all-in on making its own custom CPU from scratch which...we'll get to that, and otherwise uh... it had some interesting stuff going on sound wise? I feel like the main thing it had going was getting in on CDs early but I'm not messing with optical drives and they're no longer a really great storage option anyway.

Then there's the Neo Geo... where what's going on under the good is just kind of A LOT. I don't have the same handy analysis ready to go on this one, but my understanding is it didn't really go in for a lot of nice streamlining tricks and just kinda powered through. Like it has no separation of background layers and sprites. It's just all sprites. Shove those raw numbers.

So what's the best of all worlds option here? I'd like to go with one of them nice speedy Motorolla processors. The 68000 the Genesis used is no longer manufactured though. The closest still-in-production equivalent would be the 68SEC000 family. Seems like they go for about $15 a pop, have a full 32-bit bus, low voltage, some support clock speeds like... three times what the Genesis did. It's overkill, but should remove any concerns I have about having a way higher resolution than the systems I'm jumping off from. I can also easily throw in some beefy RAM chips where I need.

I was also planning to just directly replicate the Genesis sound setup, weird as it is, but hit the slight hiccup that the Z80 was JUST discontinued, like a month or two ago. Pretty sure someone already has a clone of it, might use that.

Here's where everything comes to a screeching halt though. While the makers of all these systems were making contracts for custom processors to add a couple extra features in that I should be able to work around by just using newer descendant chips that have that built in, there really just is no off the shelf PPU that I'm aware of. EVERYONE back in the day had some custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) chip made to assemble every frame of video before throwing it at the TV. Especially the SNES, with all its modes changing the logic there and the HDMA getting all up in those mode 7 effects. Which are again, something I definitely want to replicate here.

So one option here is... I design and order my own ASIC chips. I can probably just fit the entire system in one even? This however comes with two big problems. It's pricy. Real pricy. Don't think it's really practical if I'm not ordering in bulk and this is a project I assume has a really niche audience. Also, I mean, if I'm custom ordering a chip, I can't really rationalize having stuff I could cram in there for free sitting outside as separate costly chips, and hell, if it's all gonna be in one package I'm no longer making this an educational electronics kit/console, so I may as well just emulate the whole thing on like a raspberry pi for a tenth of the cost or something.

The other option is... I commit to even more work, and find a way to reverse engineer all the functionality I want out with some big array of custom ROMs and placeholder RAM and just kinda have my own multi-chip homebrew co-processors? Still PROBABLY cheaper than the ASIC solution and I guess not really making more research work for myself. It's just going to make for a bigger/more crowded motherboard or something.

Oh and I'm now looking at a 5V processor and making controllers compatible with a 10V system so I need to double check that all the components in those don't really care that much and maybe adjust things.

And then there's also FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays). Even more expensive than an ASIC, but the advantage is it's sort of a chip emulator and you can reflash it with something else. So if you're specifically in the MiSTer scene, I just host a file somewhere and you make the one you already have pretend to be this system. So... good news for those people but I still need to actually build something here.

So... yeah that's where all this stands right now. I admit I'm in way way over my head, but I should get somewhere eventually?

Much attention has been paid in recent times to Australia's over-reliance on American power for our national defence. But far more of our sovereignty has been eroded beneath us by far more insidious means: our extraordinary and increasing reliance on the United States, and China, for technology.  For individual citizens going about their day, for the critical infrastructure which enables the functioning of our society, and even our national defence, this weakness has now accelerated beyond the point of no return. This vast technology gap has eaten deeply into Australia's ability to determine its own path. In creating software, in the engineering of critical componentry and in the storage of sensitive data, this gulf is now so vast, it has become impossible to bridge. To endeavour to catch up to the US, for example, would cost so much as to be economic suicide, akin to trying to build a rival space or even nuclear weapons program.

...

Back home, there are obvious fixes. At the minute, Australia has no laws which mandate that its data must be held onshore (with a minor exception for health information). And of the roughly $10 billion a year the Commonwealth spends on information technology, the majority flows straight offshore, much of it into tax havens. Surely more must be spent here? Any change will be hard-won. As entrenched as they now are in Australian society, these companies won't simply yield. When the Department of Home Affairs released a discussion paper on "data localisation" two years ago, Facebook, Apple, Twitter and Google immediately kicked back. The proposal has gathered dust ever since. Attempts at genuine regulation will require not only an active parliament, but a government able to withstand intense lobbying — including, it should be pointed out, from the White House.

This cutting-edge 12-bit SAR ADC IP core is specifically engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern SoC (System on Chip) and ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) designs. It offers a unique balance of high-resolution data conversion, excellent dynamic performance, low power consumption, and flexible configuration options. These attributes make it a perfect fit for a variety of industries including industrial automation, precision measurement systems, wireless communications, and advanced microcontroller-based applications.

The need for energy-efficient, high-precision analog interfaces continues to grow across a wide range of industries. From portable industrial devices and battery-powered sensors to high-speed communication systems and automotive control units, designers increasingly require ADCs that not only deliver performance but also minimize energy draw. T2MIP’s new SAR ADC core directly addresses this need by providing exceptional signal quality and flexible operating modes while maintaining ultra-low power consumption.

The 12-bit resolution ensures accurate signal quantization, while the 5MS/s sampling rate makes the core well-suited for fast signal processing tasks. This performance is achieved without compromising power efficiency, a feature critical for embedded systems and IoT devices where power budget is often a limiting factor.

Key Performance Metrics

One of the standout features of T2M’s new SAR ADC IP is its high dynamic performance.

This makes it ideal for applications requiring high fidelity and accurate representation of analog signals.

Design flexibility is another cornerstone of this IP core. It supports multiple input modes—both single-ended and differential—and can handle up to four input channels. This allows designers to tailor the ADC’s input architecture to their specific system requirements, whether that involves sensing multiple voltages or improving common-mode noise rejection.

Furthermore, the ADC supports selectable resolution modes—8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit—allowing developers to trade off between precision and power consumption as needed. Conversion modes include both single conversion and continuous operation, providing adaptability for event-driven or real-time sampling use cases.

One of the most notable innovations in this SAR ADC IP core is its scalable power consumption architecture. In idle mode, it draws zero static (DC) power, and its dynamic power consumption is directly proportional to the clock frequency. This intelligent power scaling makes it ideal for energy-sensitive applications where processing loads vary over time.

In addition to its baseline low-power operation, the IP core also includes extended power management modes. Designers can select between low-noise and ultra-low power modes depending on the performance priorities of the system. For example, battery-powered sensors can operate in low-power mode to extend life, while instrumentation systems can switch to low-noise mode for increased accuracy.

The ADC operates at ultra-low voltages, with an analog supply range from 3.3V down to 1.8V, and a digital supply of just 1.1V.
