- ASIC Design For Signal Processing
- ASIC is an acronym for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. It refers to the technology that many chip designers, including Lucent, use for the physical creation of their chips. This project focuses heavily on the creation of such a design, which will be incorporated as part of one of Bell Lab's future research chips.

- Application-specific integrated circuit @ Wikipedia
- An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) customised for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use. For example, a chip designed solely to run a cell phone is an ASIC. In contrast, the 7400 series and 4000 series integrated circuits are logic building blocks that can be wired together to perform many different applications. Intermediate between ASICs and standard products are...

- ASIC Prototyping with FPGAs
- Recently, there is a growing use of FPGAs to prototype ASICs as part of an ASIC verification methodology. With development costs for ASICs approaching $20M, avoiding a respin by prototyping with FPGAs is attractive alternative. This paper explorers the key issues designers should consider when developing and ASIC prototyping methodology.

- ChipEstimate.Com - now from Cadence
- ChipEstimate.Com (now owned by Cadence) is an intuitive new tool for IC designers that generates fast and accurate chip estimates. The tool makes it easy for designers to visualize tradeoffs between key design metrics, and across technology nodes and process variants. InCyte lets users generate accurate and optimized chip estimates at the architectural stage of the design process, resulting in significantly shorter design times and lower...
