We did it! We sold out a shuttle! Thanks to everyone who submitted a design to
#TinyTapeout
6!
And if you missed it, TT07 will open for submissions on Monday.
#TinyTapeout
6 stats!
9 meters of wire and 267000 standard cells across all projects
The highest utilisation of all designs was 93%
The biggest project a NIST random number generator test with 19265 cells
Picture shows logic cell usage, analog designs appear mostly empty.
mmm, gold 555! Design by Vincent Fusco and render by

"I can't tell you how excited I am about the fact that I can tape out some analog circuits for less than $1k now."

6 closes in 9 days!
We were reviewed by
@HackSpaceMag
and got 10/10!
"Learn how microchips work by designing one."
Thanks to
@efabless
and all our supporters for making this possible!

I was challenged to make a chip from scratch in <2 weeks with no prior experience
Hereโs how Iโm planning to speed run the entire learning process for chip design & fabrication (suggestions welcome)

It was the first shuttle where we sold all the space and 160 ASICs+PCBs.
238 projects were submitted from 30 countries!
The datasheet has 560 pages of documentations:
Curious about how easily you can design and have your own chip made? Join our webinar, where in just one hour we'll create a digital integrated circuit and submit it for manufacturing!

It was our first shuttle to support analog and mixed signal and 24 projects took advantage of that, including ADCs, DACs, opamps and even a 555.

Now analog is enabled, we have some on tt06. It's all hidden under the top metal though :( need to get them decapped / delayered to see it.
Custom ASIC achievement unlocked! Just got the hands on the ASIC
