can anyone explain some terms?

Application Specific Standard Product(ASSP) Structured ASIC configurable processor

I am not a IC design,but a embedded software engineer. A few new terms come to me and I have no idea. I can find plenty of information on the internet, but none of them explains the terms. So can anyone give me an introductionary explanation and give one example each? thanx

"an integrated circuit sold to multiple clients for a single application"

formatting link
"the logic mask-layers of a device are predefined by the ASIC vendor" "read carefully how the vendor defines its particular Structured or Platform ASIC"

probably means soft-core processor/controller like the Nios series.

Seems like enough explanations to understand it.

Nios or Microblaze are configurable processors and it can probably means more. Some companies, like Tensilica and Siliconhive, provide processor core that you can modify in terms of your application, before or after manufacture. They aim for a good tradeoff between flexbility and cost. Of course, it is something quite new so probably there is also some other explaination...

In short: no, we can't. Just like we can't really count on the newspapers.

There are people guarding the pages for subjectivity and unreferenced quotes. Also, changes like that, that were not discussed or argumented, are often rolled back. Easier-to-spot vandalism is rolled back by autonomous programs (bots).
