ASIC. A IC developed for a specific application, designed by incorporating standard cells from a library, rather than designed from scratch. ASICs can be found in VCRs, microwave ovens, automobiles, and security alarms. Manufacturers use it to consolidate many chips into a single package, reducing system board size and power consumption.
A device whose function is determined by a designer for a particular application or group of applications.
ASIC is an electronics technology that hard-wires a device to switch a specific, such as IP or Ethernet. Switches that use ASIC hardware are much faster than switches that rely on slower software.
A chip custom made for a vendor for economical device distribution.
Pronounced A sick, it is a Very Large Scale Integrated circuit, custom-designed to perform one or more particular functions. Advantages include fewer discrete components, lower power consumption and increased reliability.
An integrated circuit tailored for a particular piece of electronic equipment.
An ASIC is a circuit designed for a very specific purpose, such as the processors in PDAs or the chips on a motherboard chipset. ASICs contrast with more general-purpose devices such as memory chips or x86 processors that can be used in many different applications.
A chip designed for a specific purpose, such as Adaptec chips designed to be used in storage applications.
("ASIC") refers to an integrated circuit uniquely designed and fabricated for a particular product application. Highly sophisticated electronic products can be economically produced where high production volumes justify the initial integrated circuit design and tooling costs.
An integrated circuit designed for one narrow use, such as substituting one large integrated circuit for many small ones. Often custom or semi-custom.
A proprietary semiconductor component designed and manufactured to perform a set of specific functions for a specific application.
An integrated circuit designed for a specific application. Such circuits are widely used in integrated circuit cards and their interface devices.
A custom-built integrated circuit that has been designed for a specific purpose. The idea is that one ASIC might replace several other chips in a system and hence lower manufacturing costs. At one time this would only have been economical with very large production quantities, but now specialist software is available to assist with design and a number of cheaper semi-custom methods are also available.

A piece of custom-designed hardware in a mass-produced chip. Abbreviated ASIC.
An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) customised for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use. For example, a chip designed solely to run a cell phone is an ASIC. In contrast, the 7400 series and 4000 series integrated circuits are logic building blocks that can be wired together to perform many different applications.
