Abstract :
Some of the benefits of customer- and application-specific characterization of ASICs are discussed. The author discusses why ASIC device performance is characterized. An example of characterization data is presented for a CMOS gate array. The benefits of having this data are given. A cost analysis of using contract test engineering services to provide this data is presented
