It is about 1.5" square and incorporates an application-specific integrated circuit developed at the Cambridge lab.
Custom-made chips called application-specific integrated circuits may be made in the new Taiwan plant in the future, Texas Instruments said.
LSI is the world leader in the market for application-specific integrated circuits - custom-designed chips based on a large library of modular components.
Unfortunately early on design work of this sort dried up and forced the company to focus on developing application-specific circuits.
These application-specific circuits would later be incorporated into a larger circuits for other applications.
Synopsys offers a wide range of other products used in the design of an application-specific integrated circuit.
Initially they required application-specific integrated circuits, but appliances that run on standards-based hardware and operating systems are now available.
It produced sensors for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and pioneered the concept of application-specific integrated circuits.
The chips are known as application-specific integrated circuits, meaning that they will be customized for I.B.M.
The chips are known as ASIC's, for application-specific integrated circuits, and can be easily produced in low volumes.
