The PD-64 from SideProjectsLab (SPL) is a compact plug & play power supply as a direct replacement for the original Commodore 64 power supply. The PD-64 is powered by a standard USB PD power supply (not included, but can be ordered as an option) and uses highly efficient switching regulators. This sets the PD-64 apart from other comparable switching power supplies: It not only provides the DC supply voltage (5 V DC / 2 A), but also a genuine, galvanically isolated AC voltage (9 V AC / 1 A, 50/60 Hz) – thus replicating the original power supply unit completely and authentically.

Both outputs are digitally controlled and equipped with a comprehensive protection circuit (electronic fuses, overvoltage and overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown). This ensures that the C64 is supplied with a stable and safe voltage at all times.

Plug&Play – simply plug in and get started. No soldering, no modifications to the C64 required.
