An ASIC designed to display the infamous Rickroll meme is here, alongside 164 other assorted functions., which offers prospective chip engineers the chance to"learn to design your own ASIC and get it fabricated." Since 2020, Zero to ASIC has accepted several designs that are incorporated into a single chip called a multi-project wafer , a cost-saving measure as making one chip for one design would be prohibitively expensive.
Bitluni was a late inclusion on the Tiny Tapeout 2 project, having been invited just three days before the submission deadline. He initially just made a persistence-of-vision controller, which was revised twice for a total of three designs. However, given that there were 250 total plots for each design, there wasn't a ton of room for both the graphics processor and the file it was supposed to render, a short GIF of the music video. Ultimately, this had to be shrunk from 217 kilobytes to less than half a kilobyte, making its output look similar to games on the Atari 2600 from 1977.Oh Em Pee! Giant Android tinkles on Apple in Google Maps graffitiAccessing the Rickroll rendering processor and other designs isn't simple.
While there's no serious practical functionality for any of these designs, they can serve as useful proofs of concept for aspiring chip designers who want to see their designs on real silicon. It's very expensive to fab a single wafer of chips, and far out of reach for the average student or hobbyist to do so.
