# Tiny FABulous FPGA IHP26a

![Tiny FABulous FPGA IHP26a](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mole99/chip-gallery/main/tt-fabulous-ihp-26a/tt_um_fabulous_ihp_26a_white.png)

This design implements a tiny FPGA with 168 LUT4+FF. The FPGA fabric is 9x5 tiles in size, of which 7x3 are LUT4x8_ha tiles. The logic cells include a vertical carry-chain in upwards direction, allowing for fast additions up to 23-bits.

The I/Os resemble the Tiny Tapeout interface, allowing for clk, rst_n, uo, ui and uio signals. This enables to directly implement simple Tiny Tapeout designs on the FPGA.

The user design is synthesized using Yosys and implemented using nextpnr (currently forks are required to be used, but the changes will be upstreamed).

The bitstream is uploaded to the fabric using a bitbang interface (see how to test). The bitbang interface is active while reset is applied, this ensures that all I/Os are available for the active user design.

# Tiny Shader TT06

VGA shader unit

![Tiny Shader TT06](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mole99/chip-gallery/main/tt06_tiny-shader/tt06_tiny-shader_wb.png)

Modern GPUs use fragment shaders to determine the final color for each pixel. Thousands of shading units run in parallel to speed up this process and ensure that a high FPS ratio can be achieved.

Tiny Shader mimics such a shading unit and executes a shader with 10 instructions for each pixel. No framebuffer is used, the color values are generated on the fly. Tiny Shader also offers an SPI interface via which a new shader can be loaded. The final result can be viewed via the VGA output at 640x480 @ 60 Hz, although at an internal resolution of 64x48 pixel.

SVGA sprite generator

![One Sprite Pony TT05](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mole99/chip-gallery/main/tt05_one-sprite-pony/one-sprite-pony_tt05_wb_lyp.png)

This Verilog design produces SVGA 800x600 60Hz output with a background and one sprite. Internally, the resolution is reduced to 100x75, thus one pixel of the sprite is actually 8x8 pixels. The design can operate at either a 40 MHz pixel clock or a 10 MHz pixel clock by setting a configuration bit.
