About Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)

ASIC chips (application specific integrated circuits) are designed for a specific application. An ASIC chip is a type of integrated circuit, often referred to as "gate-array" or "standard-cell" products, developed and designed to satisfy a specific application requirement. Standards cells are used in ASIC design. An ASIC engineer can create functional blocks with known electrical characteristics, such as propagation delay, capacitance and inductance, which can also be represented in third party tools. Standard cell design is the utilization of these functional blocks to achieve very high gate density and good electrical performance. Standard cell design falls between gate array and full custom design in terms of both the non-recurring engineering and recurring component cost. An FPGA ASIC (field-programmable gate array, application specific integrated circuit) design is a specially made digital semiconductor often used for ASIC prototyping. With this method, an ASIC engineer is able to program electrical connections for a specific application (for example a device for a sound/video card), without having the chip manufactured in mass quantities. A structured ASIC is an integrated circuit with predefined blocks that is programmed by customizing the top two to five routing layers. Other ASIC chips are commonly available.

Products & Services Related to Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)

Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLD)

Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) are integrated circuits (ICs) or chips that application designers configure to implement digital hardware such as mobile phones. CPLDs can handle significantly larger designs than simple programmable logic devices (SPLDs), but provide less logic than field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

Field-programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)

Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have a different architecture than SPLDs and CPLDs, and typically offer higher capacities. FPGAs are also known as logic cell arrays (LCA) and programmable ASIC (pASIC).
