Is there any project to do a rerun of the C64 SID soundchip in #tinytapeout?

13 days left to go - what will *you* make?
This shuttle has the highest utilisation we’ve seen at this stage before tapeout!

@chrisamaphone@hci.social followed a related line of thinking for a little rewrite CPU with #tinytapeout and it's hardly any silicon
but for expressivity and optimization the design would almost certainly expand: I'm still curious to know how well it would scale, and what kind of programs fit the idiom well

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!

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.

@wren6991 I completely agree and capacities are meager. I'm really eager to see this realized. IO count ~ 5 + max(DQwidth, ADwidth), say 21? Could almost work with #Tinytapeout
Last few days for Tiny Tapeout 10!
The shuttle closes at 21:00 CET / 12:00 PT on Monday 10th of March.
We have some great projects on board already, including 3.3v mixed signal analog, a bandgap reference, the demoscene competition entries and RISCV SoCs.
But we want even more, so put on your ASIC hat and get that last minute design submitted onto Tiny Tapeout 10!
Tiny Tapeout 10 demoscene competition is open! Enter for free and win some great prizes!
