ASIC solutions: principle and comparative analysis
ASICs et logiciels CAO associés

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 and specific. This classification can be...
