Abstract

Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) with high-performance embedded memory array with suitable design route have considerable merits in terms of system speed, scalability with technology and system cost. The choice of design approach according to applications is critical. For highly memory-rich applications, one of the recently developed memory ASICs, an integrated cache memory is described. Another example suited for large-size random logic and high-density memory is a structure array approach. A recently developed 72 K track-free gate array with 1 Mb DRAM is described
