ASIC and FPGA

Application Specific intergrated circuits (ASIC) is an integrated circuit designed and manufactured according to the requirements of specific users and specific electronic systems.

FPGA, short for field programmable gate array, is a field programmable gate array. It is a product of further development on the basis of PAL, gal, PLD and other programmable devices.

As a semi-customized circuit in the specialized Integrated Circuit (ASIC) field, it not only solves the shortcomings of the custom circuit, but also overcomes the shortcomings of the limited number of door circuits of the original programmable device.

Currently, ASIC Design Using CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is one of the most popular methods. Their common characteristics are that they all have user Field Programmable features,

Both support border scanning technology, but they have their own characteristics in integration, speed, and programming methods.

ASIC is designed to meet the needs of specific users. It has many varieties and few batches and requires a short design and production cycle, it is a product that integrates integrated circuit technology closely with the whole machine or system technology of specific users,

Compared with general integrated circuits, it has the advantages of smaller size, lighter weight, lower power consumption, higher reliability, higher performance, enhanced confidentiality, and lower cost.

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is one of the most integrated circuits (ASIC). You can reconfigure the logic modules and I/O modules in FPGA, to implement user logic,

It is also used to simulate the CPU. The user puts the FPGA programming data in the flash chip, loads it into the FPGA Through power-on, and initializes it.

It can also be programmed online to Realize Online restructuring of the system. This feature can be used to build a CPU customized in real time based on different computing tasks, which is a hot area of research today.

Electronic encapsulation is an indispensable process after the completion of IC chip production, and serves as a bridge between devices and systems.
