Application-specific integrated circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) is an integrated circuit (IC) customised for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use. In contrast, the 7400 series integrated circuits are logic building blocks that can be wired together to perform many different applications. Today Gate Arrays are evolving into Structured ASICs that consist of a large IP core like a processor, DSP unit, peripherals, standard interfaces, integrated memories SRAM, and a block of reconfigurable uncommited logic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit   (2374 words)

Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC's) An ASIC is basically an integrated circuit designed specifically for a special purpose or application. A semi-custom ASIC is manufactured with the masks for the diffused layers already fully defined, so the transistors and other active components of the circuit are already fixed for that semi-custom ASIC design. Thus, the functionality of such a device can be varied by modifying which nodes in the circuit are connected and which are not. www.semiconfareast.com /asic.htm   (600 words)

Everett Infrared and Electro-optic Technology - Integrated Circuit Design Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are often indispensable. In other applications it is simply cost effective to combine a number of functions into a single ASIC reducing the number of integrated circuits that are required and the unit production cost. An example is the multiplexer or read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) that is integrated with an array of detectors to form an imaging focal plane array (FPA). www.everettinfrared.com /ASIC.htm   (575 words)

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT Some analog circuits are specifically designed to provide an output voltage that is not proportional to its input, even though the output will vary as a function of the changing input voltage. ASICs can be produced using the appropriate processing technology of bipolar, CMOS, and BIMOS or BIFET (an optimized combination of bipolar and CMOS on one chip); the advantages of the specific technology can serve to optimize the circuit's function. In electronics, a circuit whose step-function input voltage causes its output to change in a step-function manner from a specific value of voltage to another is a digital circuit. tstctech.com /cd/Part_three/Integrated_Circuits/integrated_circuit.htm   (4212 words)

Programmable application specific integrated circuit employing antifuses and methods therefor - Patent 5892684 A programmable application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is a versatile integrated circuit chip, the internal circuitry of which may be configured before packaging by a manufacturer or after packaging by an individual user to realize a user-specific circuit. The terminals of the integrated circuit 30 may be configured to have dual uses: one use (as for example programming control) during antifuse programming and another use (as for example an input or output terminal of the user-specific circuit) during normal operation of the integrated circuit. To configure a programmable ASIC, the user configures an on-chip interconnect structure of the programmable ASIC so that selected input terminals and selected output terminals of selected on-chip circuit components are electrically connected together in such a way that the resulting circuit is the user-specific circuit desired by the user. www.freepatentsonline.com /5892684.html   (7883 words)

ASIC Design for Signal Processing ASIC is an acronym for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. The topic of my work was multiplication circuits, with the challenge to either match, or improve on, the speed of a benchmark multiplier that was already in existence in the Lucent component library.

INTRODUCTION TO ASICs An ASIC (pronounced “a-sick”; bold typeface defines a new term) is an application-specific integrated circuit —at least that is what the acronym stands for. One of the first conferences to be devoted to this rapidly emerging segment of the IC industry was the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC), and the proceedings of this annual conference form a useful reference to the development of custom ICs. Both of these examples are specific to an application (shades of an ASIC) but are sold to many different system vendors (shades of a standard part). www-ee.eng.hawaii.edu /~msmith/ASICs/HTML/Book2/CH01/CH01.htm   (1568 words)

A Low Power Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) implementation of Wavelet Transform/Inverse Transform - Storming Media ASIC operations include performing the Haar wavelet transform on a 512 by 512 square pixel image, preparing the image for transmission by quantizing and thresholding the transformed data, and performing the inverse Haar wavelet transform, returning the original image with only minor degradation. Implementing the design using a dedicated ASIC enhances the speed, decreases chip count to a single die, and uses significantly less power compared to the FPGA implementation. A reduction of RAM accesses was realized and a tradeoff between states and duplication of components for parallel operation were key to the performance gains. www.stormingmedia.us /25/2591/A259193.html   (257 words)
