Tiny Tapeout 08 closed yesterday!
I'm happy to share that I submitted two designs 🎉.

The first design is an entry for the demoscene competition 🖥️ (tinytapeout.com/competitions/d). I don't want to spoiler anything, so we'll see the results when the chips come back in about 8 months time.

The other design is my first design with analog components, AICD Playground ⚡ (github.com/mole99/tt08-aicd-pl)

See below for more info ⬇️

The design contains both a digital part with a simple CPU and an analog part with levelshifters, an R2R-DAC and a comparator. If everything works out, I will be able to implement a simple SAR-ADC to convert analog signals (0V-3.3V) into a digital value (8-bit).

Here you can see the layout. It even contains some chip art, the logo of my university: Graz University of Technology 🙌
