FPGAs and ASICs are totally different. With an ASIC the silicon is custom made for the exact application. An FPGA is a general purpose re-programmable device.
Well,the ASICs are different from FPGAs indeed.
I mean that the in the aspect of methodology,the FPGA design is similar with the ASIC design,
and I think it can be said that ASIC design is advanced FPGA design to a certain extent.

ASIC is Application Specific Integrated Circuit Design. If u develop any specialized ic for a purpose,it is called ASIC designed. To be clear, generally, embedded design is all about running a specialized software on a general microcontroller..(that can be reprogrammed)..ASICS are not reconfigurable..a new IC must be designed for any change to be incorporated. But the biggest advantage is ASIC is generally faster than an embedded program...(because it is a hardware doin the job..not the software tat needs to be loaded into RAM and etc.,)..Example can be a network processor..tat is realtime..the bottom most packet processing needs to be fast and tat is in ASIC. Whereas the terminal is an embedded RISC processor.
