The green traces show a chip designer’s worst nightmare! If they take too long to settle, it causes a serious problem that can’t be fixed after a chip is manufactured. Try out my updated metastability explorer tool here: zerotoasiccourse.com/metastability/

We already have some nice looking entries into our #demoscene competition! There's still 33 days to go, but don't leave it too late! Start on your entry today: tinytapeout.com/competitions... #ASIC #opensource #TinyTapeout

Meet the awesome judges of our #ASIC demoscene competition: @jeriellsworth.bsky.social, @willflux.bsky.social and Sprite_tm! tinytapeout.com/competitions... #opensource #ASIC #competition

Very happy to announce the winners of our demoscene competition! 🏆 We had some amazing entries - check out what can be done in just a few square microns of silicon! tinytapeout.com/competitions... Thanks again to our judges and participants! #silicon #demoscene #ASIC

We just packed 237 of your projects into our most packed ASIC to date and submitted it for manufacture. Let’s take a look inside…

Low power math within few clock cycles. Imagine it, then put it into silicon. Made by Vicharak aka @aksharvastarpara.bsky.social 's team and two FPGA freaks. Check - t.co/vBGGA2i0uX Thanks @mattvenn.net and @urishaked.bsky.social and whole @tinytapeout.com team for making this possible.

I got inspired at orconf, so now play.spade-lang.org supports a full in-browser flow for submitting to tinytapeout.com/ Still experimental, so if you try it and run into any issues, let me know :)

The new Android Terminal + Mocha X11 = magic!

Slowly porting my SkullFET inverter from SKY130 to the IHP sg13g2 open source PDK

Layout done? @tinytapeout.com

Gutoff region, is that when you are no longer hungry?

I just booted uLinux on @tinytapeout.com 6! Very easy to use flashing tool by @urishaked.bsky.social made it easy to test Hirosh's SoC! Also big thanks to @rebelmike.bsky.social & Leo Moser for the PMOD we're using for designs that need external memory.

In 1994, a math professor discovered that Intel's Pentium chip sometimes gave the wrong answer when dividing. Fixing this "FDIV" bug cost Intel $475 million. I analyzed the Pentium chip and found the bug. 1/N

SwitchBot Lock, the guts

I've just verified that my twin tee oscillator works on silicon! #ASIC tinytapeout.com/runs/tt07/tt...

518 Twin Tee Sine Wave Generator - Tiny Tapeout

Opamp plus notch filter = sine wave out

1:20000 scale inverter is cute, rotates!

This is the layout of our latest open source chip - Tiny Tapeout 9! By reducing cost and using open source tools, we've massively increased semiconductor accessibility. For more details on the design, and to read the 700 page datasheet - check tinytapeout.com/runs/tt09/
