The single chip design allows for small board size. With respect to multi-chip TTL AVG replacement boards, the BXAVG dramatically reduces the number of solder joints and components that could eventually fail. The large chip used in the BXAVG is a common Xilinx CPLD chip that has been custom programmed to accurately perform all of the functions of the original Atari AVG chip. The result is that your game will perform exactly as it should. The player will not be able to tell the difference because there is no difference in function or performance.
The 'Power' LED indicator lets you know that the module is plugged in and powered up.
The 'Activity' LED indicator flashes at a rate of 2 Hz to 3 Hz to indicate that things are running properly. If the 'Power' LED is on and and at the same time the 'Activity' LED is ever stuck on or stuck off for and extended period of time, there is a problem either with the game itself or with the BXAVG.
The module has gold plated machined pins for easy insertion and a reliable connection. Be very careful when inserting the module so as not to bend or break the pins off. They are relatively fragile.

Disclaimer: I have designed and built the BXAVG module with the highest level of quality and attention to detail to which I am capable, however I accept no liability whatsoever for any and all damage or inconvenience that may result from its use or from the use or misuse of any information presented on my web pages. You assume all responsibility for your arcade machines and the components that you install into them.
