White paper: application-specific chips
The benefits and how to seize them.
With this white paper, we offer you a practical guide to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for product innovation. Whether you're designing a next-gen wearable or building infrastructure-grade hardware, this guide will show you how ASICs can transform your product’s capabilities.
Who should read this?
- Product managers seeking to future-proof their roadmaps.
- Engineers looking to optimize performance and energy efficiency.
- CTOs and technical decision-makers exploring differentiation through custom silicon.
Collaborating on custom silicon solutions requires more than technical skill. Successful ASIC projects depend on strong communication, mutual trust, and shared goals between all stakeholders. By working closely with experienced partners, teams can better navigate technical complexity, align on strategic priorities, and bring innovative ideas to life.
This white paper outlines how IC-Link supports that collaborative process from concept to production.
In this white paper:
- The pros and cons of standard, semi-custom and full-custom silicon.
- How ASICs can make your product more compact, powerful, and energy-efficient.
- How ASICs offer superior cost efficiency at scale.
- Real-world case studies from IC-Link projects across industries.
- A step-by-step overview of the ASIC development journey.
- An introduction to the IC-Link full-service ASIC ecosystem, from design to industrialization.
