Tiny Tapeout

Tiny Tapeout makes it easier and cheaper than ever to get your designs manufactured on a real chip!

[essen @essen463404]

Your daily dose of ASICs.

Open source FPGA, after an open source software stack, the next frontier is silicon.

This board was made by Leo Moser (not me), and manufactured through https://t.co/xkn8rh38JX on the Global Foundries 180nm node.

And it works.

Check my recent talk at FOSSi ORConf!

I spoke about chips on boards and in space, interactive visualisation tools, growth in the community and some exciting future projects - including some awesome new packaging!

Thanks @tinytapeout 🙌

@matthewvenn Get a copy of Mini MOSbius on TTSKY25b! https://t.co/JTU0awkTlh

[Matthew Venn @matthewvenn]

Forget simulation - watch me build and speed up a circuit on silicon, live!

I'm using Mini MOSbius - it's like an FPGA but for analog.

@BreakingTaps @saranormous Nice!

[BreakingTaps @BreakingTaps]

@saranormous Working on some content right now about modern open source RTL-to-tapeout (LibreLane/OpenRoad)!

But would love to read about the proprietary systems too! There's not much out there, folks would benefit from being exposed to more chip content imo 🙂

Georgous chips from IHP!

This chip has a RISCV by @splinedrive , an Atari 2600 and a LGN hand-written digit classifier by @__ReJ__ , and some original silicon artwork by @Bleeptrack

@StableMab @plugyawn not for 7nm! If you can prototype at 130nm then maybe! https://t.co/mdCrK21XYH

And then the fun part started: debugging the actual chip. 😅

World’s smallest GPU silicon passes real-world testing — 240,000-transistor TinyGPU v2.0 renders 3D graphics at up to 15 FPS while v3.0 prepares for 2026 release https://t.co/mjp89tpWs7

Dive into #ASIC design this summer with the Zero to ASIC course!

The Zero to ASIC courses are the best known, highest rated and still the only ones to include a guaranteed tapeout.

Use code summer26 to get $100 off the course until the 10th August.

TTIHP26b is open for submissions! Closing date is 21st of September.

Free for Swiss Residents!

We have the silicon. And it's working🎉🍾

ROM-less CORDIC engine hooked up to an SPI master@ 22 MHz.

Thanks @tinytapeout @matthewvenn and whole team.

[gojimmypi @gojimmypi]

@matthewvenn @zzznah OMG, just took it for a test drive. That's really cool! I assume that idle activity is at least promising, eh?

[Tiny Tapeout @tinytapeout]

Did you see the video when @matthewvenn sliced open one of our chips and cut a 1 micron wide wire inside?
