TinyTapeout tt05: Super Mario Tune on A Piezo Speaker

Overview

This Verilog chip design is made for the TinyTapout tt05 shuttle. It will play the Super Mario Tune over a Piezo Speaker connected across uio_out[1:0]. The speaker is driven in differential PWM mode to increase its output power.

Verilog Design Files

• Playback Logic
• Autogenerated Super Mario Tune Storage. This project contains a Python-based script for converting a RTTL ringtone into optimized Verilog. An additional script converts TIM-file waveforms from the Verilog simulator back to a WAV-sound file to verify the correctness of the hardware-based player's sound.

How To Test

Provide 100kHz clock on clk, briefly lower reset (rst_n) and uio_out[1:0] will play a differential sound wave over piezo speaker (Super Mario Tune).

External Hardware Required

Piezo speaker connected across uio_out[1:0]
