Why are ASIC chips used?

ASIC chips are used because unlike general purpose diodes and other components, ASIC chip use allows for custom design of a circuit to do a very specific function or perform a particular action.

What is an ASIC – application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)?

An ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) is a microchip designed for a special application, such as a particular kind of transmission protocol or a hand-held computer. You might contrast it with general integrated circuits, such as the microprocessor and the random access memory chips in your PC.

What are application-specific standard product chips?

Application-specific standard product chips are intermediate between ASICs and industry standard integrated circuits like the 7400 series or the 4000 series. ASIC chips are typically fabricated using metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) technology, as MOS integrated circuit chips.

What is a full-custom ASIC chip?

Full-custom ASIC chips are one of the most customized chips, in which developers design logic units for different functions based on different circuit structures, and build analog circuits, memory units, and mechanical structures on the chipboard.
