Abstract
A description is given of different paths available for a designer in implementing an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit). ASIC implementation can be long, complicated, and risky if the choices are not made correctly at the beginning of the project. ASICs can be implemented using a vendor design center, distributor design center, independent design center, or a captive/in-house design center. The pros and cons of each approach and the issues the designer should be aware of before selecting a design center are discussed.<>
