About the TinyTapeout ASIC Simulator (for TT3) PCB
TinyTapeout ASIC Simulator (for TT3) is an open source FPGA PCB design by TinyTapeout, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 45 × 52.5 mm, with 72 components from 24 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ICE40UP5K-SG48I, from the FPGA family. Other key parts include the AP2112K-3.3TRG1, AP2112K-1.2TRG1 and W25Q32JVSSIQ. By type, the board carries 38 resistors, 22 capacitors, 4 ICs, 3 connectors, 2 diodes and 1 crystal.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
Tiny Tapeout breakout PCBs
The Tiny Tapeout chips are delivered on a breakout board that allows:
* the demo board to host and interact with the IC and its projects
* easily moving the ASIC to other more specialized PCBs
The PCBs are keyed such that direction of insertion onto hosts is made clear.
Versionning has been refactored such that we only have a single directory, moving forward, which will always be the latest iteration of the breakout board. Prior versions are tagged and all available here.
