A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured after manufacturing.

The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, but this is increasingly rare due to the advent of electronic design automation tools.

An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use, such as a chip designed to run in a digital voice recorder or a high-efficiency video codec.

chips are intermediate between ASICs and industry standard integrated circuits like the 7400 series or the 4000 series.

ASIC chips are typically fabricated using metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) technology, as MOS integrated circuit chips.

Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives) followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities.

Verification and validation (also abbreviated as V&V) are independent procedures that are used together for checking that a product, service, or system meets requirements and specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose.

These are critical components of a quality management system such as ISO 9000.

The words "verification" and "validation" are sometimes preceded with "independent", indicating that the verification and validation is to be performed by a disinterested third party.

"Integration verification and validation" can be abbreviated as "IV&V".

A system on a chip or system-on-chip (SoC; pl.

SoCs) is an integrated circuit that integrates most or all components of a computer or other electronic system.

These components almost always include on-chip central processing unit (CPU), memory interfaces, input/output devices, input/output interfaces, and secondary storage interfaces, often alongside other components such as radio modems and a graphics processing unit (GPU) – all on a single substrate or microchip.

SoCs may contain digital, and also analog, mixed-signal, and often radio frequency signal processing functions (otherwise it may be considered on a discrete application processor).
