What is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC)?

Application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip customized for a particular range of uses, rather than intended for general-purpose use. Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) tailored for AI and ML applications, including tasks like neural network inference and training, deliver superior processing capabilities and enhanced energy efficiency when contrasted with general-purpose processors.

Based on the product type, application-specific integrated circuits can be categorized into full custom ASIC, semi-custom ASIC, and Programmable ASIC. Based on application type, it can be categorized into telecommunication, industrial, automotive, consumer goods, and others.

Market Dynamics

The application specific integrated circuit market is poised to surge, driven by several reasons. The following are some key drivers of the market:

• Increasing demand for high-performance and energy-efficient electronic devices: ASICs are designed to meet specific application requirements, which makes them more efficient and power-saving than general-purpose ICs. With the growing demand for high-performance and energy-efficient electronics, the demand for ASICs is set to surge.
• Growing demand for smart devices: The rapidly growing demand for smart devices such as smartphones and tablets is expected to drive market growth. There are more than 6.8 billion smartphones in the world. The count for total smartphones by 2025 is estimated to cross 7.3 billion by 2025. According to different sources, the global economy is expected to rise to more than 75 billion connected things or devices by the end of 2025. There will be more than 9 smart devices per person. ASICs help in providing the high-bandwidth, smaller size & weight, low-cost, and long battery life requirements of next-generation smart devices.
• Faster Time-to-Market: ASICs allow for quicker time-to-market compared to designing complex systems with off-the-shelf components. New ASIC design tools and methodologies are making it easier and faster to design complex ASICs. The growing demand for smart devices, along with advanced technologies such as 5G, AI, IoT, and autonomous vehicles is driving the adoption of ASICs across industries.
• Reduced cost of ASIC manufacturing: The cost of ASIC manufacturing has been reducing in recent years, allowing more and more companies to make use of ASICs in a wider range of applications.
