ARM Holdings
1 The company was founded as Advanced RISC Machines, ARM, a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and VLSI Technology. The new
company intended to further the development of the Acorn RISC Machine's RISC chip, which was originally used in the Acorn Archimedes
and had been selected by Apple for their Newton project. The design was flexible and is
now the processing core for many custom application-specific integrated circuits.

CMOS - Power: switching and leakage
1 CMOS logic dissipates less power than NMOS logic circuits because CMOS dissipates power only when switching (dynamic power). On a typical application-specific integrated circuit|
ASIC in a modern 90 nanometer process, switching the output might take 120
picoseconds, and happens once every ten nanoseconds. NMOS logic dissipates power
whenever the transistor is on, because there is a current path from Vdd to Vss through the
load resistor and the n-type network.

Open hardware
1 Since the rise of reconfigurable programmable logic devices, sharing of logic designs has been a form of open-source hardware. Instead of the
schematics, hardware description language (HDL) code is shared. HDL descriptions are commonly used to set up system-on-a-chip systems either in field-programmable gate
arrays (FPGA) or directly in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs. HDL modules,
when distributed, are called semiconductor intellectual property cores, or IP cores.

1 The major difference between the packet switching operation of a

Expeed
1 In each generation Nikon uses different versions for its professional and consumer
Digital single-lens reflex camera|DSLRs and MILCs, whereas its compact cameras use
totally different architectures. This is different from for example Canon Inc.|Canons DIGIC:
Its professional DSLRs double the processors of its consumer series. The Expeed is an
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) built by Fujitsu specifically for Nikon designs
according to Nikon specifications.

Expeed - Variants
1 Fujitsu specifies each Milbeaut generation with different numbers of processors. Nikon
gives no details, but uses different designated processors in its professional and consumer
lines. Although the Milbeaut (Expeed) is used in different Nikon designs and by other manufacturers, the software/firmware
specifies many of its functions and details and the number of processors or included
modules may vary in this Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC.

Controller–area network - Licensing
1 Bosch holds patents on the technology, and manufacturers of
CAN-compatible microprocessors pay license fees to Bosch, which are
normally passed on to the customer in the price of the chip.
Manufacturers of products with custom Application-specific
integrated circuit|ASICs or FPGAs containing CAN-compatible modules may need to pay a fee for the CAN
Protocol License.

Cash machine - Hardware
1 Due to heavier computing demands and the falling price of personal computer–like
architectures, ATMs have moved away from custom hardware architectures using
microcontrollers or application-specific integrated circuits and have adopted the
hardware architecture of a personal computer, such as USB connections for
peripherals, Ethernet and IP communications, and use personal computer
operating systems.

PSoC - Overview
1 PSoC resembles an Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC:
blocks can be assigned a wide range of functions and interconnected on-
chip. Unlike an ASIC, there is no special manufacturing process required to create the custom
configuration - only startup code that is created by Cypress' PSoC Designer
(for PSoC 1) or PSoC Creator (for PSoC 3 / 4 / 5) Integrated
development environment|IDE.

Softmodem - Evolution and technology
1 As more sophisticated transmission schemes were devised, the circuits grew in complexity, mixing analog with digital parts and eventually incorporating multiple
integrated circuit|ICs such as logical gates, PLLs and microcontrollers, while the techniques used in modern
V.34 (recommendation)|V.34, V.90 (recommendation)|V.90 and V.92 protocols (like 1024-Quadrature amplitude
modulation|QAM) are so complex that implementing a modem supporting them with discrete components or general purpose IC's would be very impractical, and a dedicated Digital signal processor|DSP or Application-
specific integrated circuit|ASIC is used instead, effectively turning the modem into a special embedded system, a
dedicated computer in its own right.
