ASSP - Application-specific standard product

ASSP랑 ASIC를 비교하는데

무슨 차이인지 모호하다.. 그냥 단독 기능용 칩이라고 하면 되려나?

USB 인터페이스 칩을 ASSP로 보는데

그렇게 따지면.. ASSP는 ASIC에 포함되고

범용화된 사용 단일 기능 칩들은 모두 ASSP가 되는 듯..

Application-specific standard product

[링크 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_standard_product]

ASSPs Application-specific standard parts (ASSPs) are designed and implemented in exactly the same way as ASICs. This is not surprising, because they are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that an ASSP is a more general-purpose device that is intended for use by multiple system design houses. For example, a standalone USB interface chip would be classed as an ASSP.
