An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), is an integrated circuit (IC) customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use.

For example, a chip designed to run in a digital voice recorder or a high-efficiency Bitcoin miner is an ASIC.

Application-specific standard products (ASSPs) are intermediate between ASICs and industry standard integrated circuits like the 7400 or the 4000 series.

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.

Components (e.g. capacitors, resistors or active devices) are generally soldered on the PCB.

Advanced PCBs may contain components embedded in the substrate.

A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor (or a SIP block), with its architecture optimized for the operational needs of digital signal processing.

Electronic design automation (EDA), also referred to as electronic computer-aided design (ECAD), is a category of software tools for designing electronic systems such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards.

The tools work together in a design flow that chip designers use to design and analyze entire semiconductor chips.

Since a modern semiconductor chip can have billions of components, EDA tools are essential for their design.

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical energy electrically, in which the electrons have a fundamental role.

Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, associated passive electrical components, and interconnection technologies.

Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit.
