2. ASIC solutions: principle and comparative analysis

Developments in microelectronics technology now make it possible to produce highly complex integrated electronic systems that meet a number of criteria: high execution speed, small footprint, low power consumption, increased reliability, etc. The development of an application-specific integrated circuit is a strategic element in the definition of a product. The development of an application-specific integrated circuit is a strategic element in the definition of a product. It replaces or improves a function (mechanical, electronic, etc.) while miniaturizing the product, reducing production costs and increasing performance.

There are many different approaches to design (figure 5 ). The various integrated circuits can be classified into three categories: standard, semi-specific...
