* Application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC )

The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language ( HDL ), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) ( circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, as they were for ASICs, but this is increasingly rare ) in one package, employing technology developed for 3D construction and stacked-die assemblies.

* Application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC )

Some of the functions may be performed through an application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) to avoid overhead caused by multiple CPU cycles, and others may have to be performed through the CPU as these packets need special attention that cannot be handled by an ASIC.

SoCs can be implemented as an application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) or using a field-programmable gate array ( FPGA ).

An application-specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, is an integrated circuit ( IC ) customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use.

In general-purpose routers, packet switching takes place using software that runs on a microprocessor, whereas a Layer 3 switch performs this using dedicated application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) hardware.

Avanti was founded when several ex-Cadence employees bought the startup ArcSys, which had previously merged with ISS, gaining Avanti its DRC / LVC tool Hercules ( including 3D silicon structure modeling ), then bought Compass Design Automation, which had fully integrated IC Design Flow and ASIC Libraries, especially its place and route tool, which Avanti reworked to create Saturn and Apollo II ; and it also bought TMA which brought their pioneering TCAD and Proteus Optical proximity correction tools.

Two application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) chips take some of the workload off of the central processor.

For software developers, Brew MP is a full set of application programming interfaces ( API ) that enables making software and applications in C, C ++, Java, and is supported ( platform ) by an application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ).

Early integrated circuit devices to incorporate FM synthesis methods include the Atari POKEY custom application-specific integrated circuit or " ASIC " ( U. S. Patent 4, 314, 236 issued February 2, 1982 ) in the Atari 800 and the MOS Technology 6581 / 8580 SID chip ( U. S. Patent 4, 677, 890, filed on February 27, 1983 and issued on July 7, 1987 ) used in the Commodore 64.

The technology employed in such clones has evolved over the years: while the earliest clones featured a printed circuit board containing custom or third party integrated circuits ( ICs ), more recent ( post-1996 ) clones have utilized single chip designs, with a custom ASIC which simulates the functionality of the original hardware, and often includes one or more on-board games.

The Lasi ASIC provided an integrated NCR 53C710 SCSI controller, an Intel Apricot 10 Mbit Ethernet interface, CD-quality sound, PS / 2 keyboard and mouse, a serial and a parallel port.

The SGI O2 has an Imaging & Compression Engine ( ICE ) application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) for processing streaming media and still images.

The NCR 53C9x is a family of application-specific integrated circuits ( ASIC ) produced by the former NCR Corporation and others for implementing the SCSI ( small computer standard interface ) bus protocol in hardware and relieving the host system of the work required to sequence the SCSI bus.

The sensor's signal is analyzed by an application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ), and the ASIC tries to maximize the contrast pattern by moving lens elements.

Notably, however, ASIC did feature a rudimentary integrated development environment and an RS-232 communications library for writing terminal and BBS software.

The design was spread over six chips: an integer unit ( with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches ), a floating-point unit, three full-custom secondary cache tag RAMs ( two for secondary cache accesses, one for bus snooping ), and a cache controller ASIC.

For most ASIC manufacturers, this consists of from two to as many as nine metal layers, each metal layer running perpendicular to the one below it.

There are two different types of ASIC suppliers, IDM and fabless.

Each compute module features an IP53 node board, which contains two or four MIPS R16000 microprocessors clocked at 600 or 700 MHz with 4 MB of ECC L2 cache, eight DIMM slots for 1 to 8 GB of ECC memory, a Bedrock ASIC serving as the crossbar for enabling communication between the processors, memory and PCI-X slots.

Intel developed the CNR slot to replace its own Audio / modem riser ( AMR ) technology, drawing on two distinct advantages over the AMR slot it replaced ; CNR was both capable of being either software based ( CPU-controlled ) or hardware accelerated ( dedicated ASIC ), and was plug-and-play compatible.

The machine is based around a Z80B CPU clocked at 6 MHz, and contains an ASIC that is comparable to the Spectrum's ULA.

The block scheme of the Blue Gene / L ASIC including dual PowerPC 440 cores.

The 12000 represented several internal architecture and technical changes besides the new ASIC: it had an upgraded control processor architecture ( Intel i960 moved to PowerPC 405GP ), changed the embedded operating system ( FOS v4. 0 migrated from Wind River Systems VxWorks to MontaVista Linux ), and introduced the backplane architecture ( hierarchical PCI buses with replaceable blades attached to a backplane ).

FS2 specializes in silicon IP, design services and OCI ( On-Chip Instrumentation ) development tools for programming, testing, debug and trace of embedded systems in SoC, SOPC, FPGA, ASSP and ASIC devices.

Because the units of throughput are the reciprocal of the unit for propagation delay, which is ' seconds per message ' or ' seconds per output ', throughput can be used to relate a computational device performing a dedicated function such as an ASIC or embedded processor to a communications channel, simplifying system analysis.

As more sophisticated transmission schemes were devised, the circuits grew in complexity, mixing analog with digital parts and eventually incorporating multiple ICs such as logical gates, PLLs and microcontrollers, while the techniques used in modern v34, v. 90 and v. 92 protocols ( like 1024-QAM ) are so complex that implementing a modem supporting them with discrete components or general purpose IC's would be very impractical, and a dedicated DSP or ASIC is used instead, effectively turning the modem into a special embedded system, a dedicated computer in its own right.

In addition to the actual microchips, WDC offers chips designs in the form of IP cores to be used inside other chips ( like ASICs ), and provides ASIC and embedded systems consulting services revolving around their processor designs.

It encompasses mathematics ( algebra, finite groups, rings, and fields ), computer engineering ( hardware design, ASIC, embedded systems, FPGAs ) and computer science ( algorithms, complexity theory, software design ,).

Along with LSI Logic, VLSI Technology defined the leading edge of the application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) business, which accelerated the push of powerful embedded systems into affordable products.

eDRAM stands for " embedded DRAM ", a capacitor-based dynamic random-access memory integrated on the same die as an ASIC or processor.

However if the memory refresh controller is embedded along with the eDRAM memory, the remainder of the ASIC can treat the memory like a simple SRAM type such as in 1T-SRAM.
