1. What is the difference between dedicated IC and general IC?
Special-purpose ICs are designed for a specific function and are suitable for specific purposes, while general-purpose ICs are suitable for a variety of applications, such as general-purpose amplifiers and standard logic gates. Specialized ICs are more efficient at specific tasks, but less flexible.
-
2. Can dedicated ICs replace general-purpose ICs?
Specialized ICs can replace general-purpose ICs in some applications, but general-purpose ICs offer better flexibility. If the application has high requirements for specific functions, a dedicated IC will be more suitable.
-
3. What is the typical lifespan and support period for specialized ICs?
The lifespan and support period of a dedicated IC are related to its application scenarios and market demand. Generally, ICs used in products with a longer life cycle will provide longer-term support and production.
-
4. What is the difference between a custom application-specific IC (ASIC) and an off-the-shelf application-specific IC?
Customized application-specific ICs (ASICs) are designed for specific customer needs and have better performance but higher costs, while off-the-shelf application-specific ICs have been mass-produced and are suitable for a wider range of market applications, with relatively lower costs.
