Key concepts: The difference between full-custom and semicustom ASICs The difference between standard-cell, gate-array, and programmable ASICs ASIC design flow Design economics ASIC cell library An ASIC (“a-sick”) is an application-specific integrated circuit A gate equivalent is a NAND gate F = A B (IBM uses a NOR gate), or four transistors History of integration: small-scale integration (SSI, ~10 gates per chip, 60’s), mediumscale integration (MSI, ~100
