Look what arrived on my doorstep today! 
A limited 1st edition collectible from the silicon vault.

Announcing the RISC-V competition winners on a livestream, Wednesday 8th!
I got inspired at orconf, so now https://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 :)
Is there any project to do a rerun of the C64 SID soundchip in #tinytapeout?
Continued thread
And this is an artistic PCB with the #TinyTapeout logo. However, what you may not realize at first glance - the pattern represents standard cells from a real chip. Coincidentally, my design from TT06 was picked for the background! You can find it here: https://github.com/mole99/tt06-tiny-shader
The files for generating the PCB from a GDS can be found here: https://github.com/htfab/tt-coaster
Thanks, Tamas!
13 days left to go - what will *you* make?
This shuttle has the highest utilisation we’ve seen at this stage before tapeout!

Watching the #Micropython test suite running on TinyQV, my Risc-V SoC. An increasing number of tests pass 
With the #TinyTapeout competition using it, I'm trying to make sure there's no lurking issues!
Tomorrow on the open source silicon stream, I'll be looking at what's involved to submit to the #TinyTapeout #RISCV competition.
Stream starts at 8:00 PT / 17:00 CEST / 21:30 IST

Hackaday · 2025 One Hertz Challenge: A 555, But Not As We Know ItWe did explicitly ask for projects that use a 555 timer for the One Hertz Challenge, but we weren’t expecting the 555 to be the project. Yet, here we are, with [matt venn]’s Open Source…
On the stream today I'll be chatting with @mike about the upcoming RISC-V Tiny Tapeout competition.
The probability of @tnt in a presentation is low, but it's never zero!
Matthias Jung presenting on ASIC design
60,000:1 CMOS inverter scale model - now with magnets!

Streaming on open source silicon in 3 hours!
I'll be looking at the results of the #TinyTapeout survey, and picking a winner for the wafer prize.
Then Pat Deegan will be joining me to talk about putting our ASICs in Space!

Testing Ricardo Nunes's 12 bit SAR ADC on #TinyTapeout 7!
Combining semiconductors with music for my @hackaday Berlin lightning talk - check out this exciting Tiny Tapeout update!
A friend points out that @tnt is live, and trying out his silicon design he got out of the last #tinytapeout delivery.

Instant device bench envy!
Hacking together my submission for the next #tinytapeout ... the circuit works, but could use a bit of cleanup :-) Thanks @matthewvenn for the excellent workshop!
Oh no! Efabless has shut down. Terrible news for #tinytapeout

Had some fun testing Ricardo Nunes's 12bit SAR ADC on #TinyTapeout 7 this afternoon.
A SAR ADC is a nice mixed signal example, with the digital section coordinating the binary search of an internal DAC, homing in on the input signal.
Glad I could test it myself and see it working!

@matthewvenn It was so unexpected and sad. It's obviously far too soon to speculate on what happens now and what's in future for #tinytapeout, but I hope something will rise from the ashes.
