TTGF26a sold out with two weeks still left. So we had to open TTGF26b immediately to catch the wave of projects.
Tiny Tapeout Team
•23 June 2026
Just under 4 years ago, we submitted the first Tiny Tapeout to the Google MPW7 lottery shuttle. One hundred fifty-two projects were submitted. Designers used Wokwi, Verilog, XLS, Chisel, and Amaranth to pack 15,000 standard cells and 772mm of wire into 152 tiles, each just 100×100 microns.
From a lottery shuttle to multiple fabs, from hundreds of designs to thousands, from students and hobbyists to professional engineers, we’ve gone from proving that community-driven chip design was possible to establishing it as a viable path forward!
And what’s even more amazing is that the demand keeps growing faster than we can make shuttles! TTGF26a sold out with two weeks still left. So we had to open TTGF26b immediately to catch the wave of projects.
Yesterday we closed TTGF26b.
Here are some of the shuttle’s highlights:
A simple implementation of the classic video game PongPong by Lukas Hahne.
And someone even made a chip that generates its own atmospheric music: Music for ASICs by d5smith.
