Tiny Tapeout Explorer

Discover the amazing silicon projects from the Tiny Tapeout community.

About the Project

Tiny Tapeout Explorer is an interactive web-based visualization tool for exploring integrated circuit designs from the Tiny Tapeout community. It features:

  • WASM-Powered Engine: C++ Manhattan-optimized layout parser and circuit extractor running natively in the browser.
  • Advanced Visualization: Rich 3D GDSII/OASIS exploration using WebGL 2.0 with wire-level highlights.
  • Switch-Level Simulation: Interactive logic simulation with native VGA output and real-time signal monitoring.

This project serves as a major upgrade to my previous simulator, the original TT09 WebGL GDS Viewer.
