At ON Semiconductor, a provider of energy-efficient power semiconductor solutions, ON Semiconductor announced that the broad range of Application Specific Standard Parts (ASSPs) available as a result of the acquisition of AMI Semiconductor are now available to customers through a network of approved distribution agents worldwide. These ASSPs cover automotive, medical, and industrial applications including transceivers, stepper motor drivers, digital signal processors (DSPs), and digital video recorders (DVIs), and are also used in a variety of applications, such as digital home appliances, digital home appliances, digital home appliances and digital home electronics. These ASSPs cover automotive, medical and industrial applications and include products such as transceivers, stepper motor drivers, digital signal processor (DSP) systems, ultra-low power (ULP) memories, Power over Ethernet (PoE) power devices, drivers, clocks and image sensors.
ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit and is considered in the IC community to be an integrated circuit designed for a specialized purpose.
At present, in the integrated circuit world ASIC is considered to be an integrated circuit designed for specialized purposes. It is an integrated circuit designed and manufactured in response to specific user requirements and the needs of a specific electronic system.ASICs are characterized by being oriented to the needs of a specific user, and ASICs have the advantages of smaller size, lower power consumption, improved reliability, improved performance, enhanced confidentiality, and reduced cost compared to general-purpose integrated circuits in mass production.
Difference: Developing an ASIC is very expensive, time-consuming, and resource-intensive, but ASICs do offer high performance with low power consumption.
ASSPs are more general purpose devices that are suitable for multiple system design studios. For example, a standalone USB interface chip can be categorized as an ASSP.
