Is PSoC a FPGA?

PSoC resembles an FPGA in that at power up it must be configured, but this configuration occurs by loading instructions from the built-in Flash memory. PSoC most closely resembles a microcontroller combined with a PLD and programmable analog.

What’s the difference between CPLD FPGA and ASIC?

ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. The difference in case of ASIC is that the resultant circuit is permanently drawn into silicon whereas in FPGAs the circuit is made by connecting a number of configurable blocks.

What is the difference between ASIC and ASSP?

ASICs and ASSPs are based on the same design processes and manufacturing technologies. Both are custom-designed to address a specific application, the only difference being that an ASIC is designed and built to order for use by a specific company, while an ASSP is marketed to multiple customers.

What is ASIC FPGA?

ASIC means Application Specific Integrated Circuit. The difference in case of ASIC is that the resultant circuit is permanently drawn into silicon whereas in FPGA the circuit is made by connecting a number of configurable blocks. FPGA: FPGA means Field Programmable Gate Array.

Is Arduino a PSoC?

The Arduino is a complete PCB with an Atmel MCU at it’s heart while the PSOC is only the MCU. Regarding the term “system on chip” – it’s more of a marketing term then anything else.

What is difference between ASIC and PLDS?

PLD is relatevly simple logic device, that can be programed to implement some logic function. In general this logic function is combination of AND and OR. ASIC is a chip designed for a particular application (as opposed to the integrated circuits that control functions such as RAM in a PC).

What are the advantages and disadvantages of FPGAs over ASIC?

FPGA have a lower associated development cost than an ASIC. Whilst an ASIC can perform the same operations as an FPGA and are specific to the application, they cannot be reprogrammed. FPGA will have a lower time-to-market than an ASIC and also will have a lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) cost.

What is ASIC AND ASIP?

An application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP) is a component used in system-on-a-chip design. This specialization of the core provides a tradeoff between the flexibility of a general purpose CPU and the performance of an ASIC.
