154 logic cells: too few for density figures, which are given for designs of 1,000 or more.

Every figure here is measured from the public layout, the same way for every design on the run: see data and method, and how its designs used the process.

Sequencer for a traffic light with a walk button, with timings tuned to match the iconic 'beep boop' streetlight formerly installed in front of Carnegie Mellon University. By Anish Singhani.
