Modern technology allows the construction of chips that contain configurable circuitry which can be changed in order to implement a wide range of different logic circuits. Two different types of chips fall under this approach – PLDs and ASICs.
The Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is a chip intended for very specific uses within a design. These chips lack the dynamic nature of PLDs and are usually custom-ordered from the vendor. On the other hand,…
