# Edit this file, then rebuild:
#     python3 docs/product/build.py
#
# Notes for editing:
#   - Every text field is rendered as raw HTML, so <b>, <br> and <a href="...">
#     work anywhere. Write a literal ampersand as &amp;.
#   - Inside a "quoted" value (the table rows), escape any double quote the HTML
#     needs as \" — an unescaped one ends the value and breaks the YAML:
#         "see <a href=\"https://example.com\">the docs</a>"
#     Values written as plain or >- folded text need no escaping.
#   - Table `style` tokens set cell formatting, space separated:
#       name    bold, no wrapping        (first column of most tables)
#       mono    bold + tabular figures   (dimensions, values, signal names)
#       num     tabular figures          (aligned digits)
#       price   bold red + no wrapping   (pricing column)
#       dim     greyed out               (em dashes, secondary text)
#       center  centre aligned
#   - Table rows must have the same number of cells as there are columns.

  eyebrow: Shared multi project chip · SKY130 / IHP SG13G2 / GF180MCU
  heading: From idea to chip design in minutes
  body: >-
    Tiny Tapeout makes it more accessible than ever to get designs manufactured on a real chip. 
    Submit from a
    GitHub repository and we handle integration, tapeout, packaging and delivery.

features:
  - kicker: 01 · Toolchain
    title: Local tool install optional
    body: >-
      The whole flow can run in GitHub Actions. Push your repository and your design
      is hardened in the cloud — nothing to install, no licences to buy.
  - kicker: 02 · Languages
    title: HDL agnostic
    body: >-
      Any language that can produce Verilog. Project templates and CI are
      supplied for Verilog, with community provided VHDL and Chisel.
  - kicker: 03 · I/O
    title: 26 pins, plus analog
    body: >-
      Clock, reset, 8 dedicated inputs, 8 dedicated outputs and 8 bidirectional
      pins — plus up to 6 analog pins where the process allows.
  - kicker: 04 · Process
    title: Three PDKs
    body: >-
      SkyWater SKY130, IHP sg13g2 and GlobalFoundries gf180mcu. Open-source PDKs
      running multiple times per year with no NDAs to sign.
  - kicker: 05 · Hardware
    title: Demoboard available
    body: >-
      An optional RP2350-based demoboard carries the packaged chip and selects
      any project on the die over USB.
  - kicker: 06 · Flexibility
    title: Bring your own flow
    body: >-
      Harden with the supplied open-source LibreLane flow, or use your own tools
      entirely — the minimum submission is GDS + LEF.

    <b>Silicon area and the demoboard are billed separately.</b> Buying area gets
    your design manufactured on the chip — on its own it does not get you a
    physical chip. To receive a physical chip, add the demoboard PCB. Confirm

faq:
  heading: Frequently asked Questions
  note: FULL FAQ AT TINYTAPEOUT.COM/FAQ
  items:
    - q: How long until I get my chip?
      a: >-
        Fabrication takes 6–9 months, then boards are assembled, tested and
        shipped. Check <a href="https://app.tinytapeout.com/chips">tinytapeout.com/chips</a> for the schedule.
    - q: Do I need chip design experience?
      a: >-
        No. Getting started documentation on the website and help on the Discord community helps beginners get started. 
        Thousands of past projects are public to learn from.
    - q: What do I actually receive?
      a: >-
        Area alone gets your design onto the wafer. Add the demoboard to receive a
        packaged chip, an RP2350 demoboard and a breakout board. Bare chips are not available separately.
    - q: Which processes can I use?
      a: >-
        SkyWater SKY130 (130 nm), IHP sg13g2 (130 nm BiCMOS) and GlobalFoundries
        gf180mcu (180 nm), each on its own shuttle schedule.
    - q: Is it only open to individuals?
      a: >-
        No. Universities, schools and companies run group submissions, and dozens
        of institutions already teach with Tiny Tapeout.
    - q: What are the licence terms?
      a: >-
        Every design is published publicly under Apache-2.0. The minimum
        submission is GDS + LEF, produced with any toolchain you like. For full terms see <a href="https://tinytapeout.com/terms">tinytapeout.com/terms</a>.

    One tile holds approximately <b>1,000 standard cells</b>. Larger designs are
    built from multi-tile blocks from 1×2 up to 8×4; the available sizes differ
    per PDK. Analog projects require a minimum height of 2 tiles.
