ASIC activities are governed by policies established by the Board of Trustees through its Audit and Compliance Committee and the President.
ASIC, with stringent regard for information safekeeping and confidentiality, and subject to applicable Institute policies, will have access to all Institute activities, records, property, and employees as may be necessary to fulfill its responsibilities.
In addition, ASIC complies with the Code of Ethics and the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing promulgated by The Institute of Internal Auditors, as well as other professional auditing standards which may be applicable to the performance of work assignments.
Today Gate Arrays are evolving into Structured ASICs that consist of a large IP core like a processor, DSP unit, peripherals, standard interfaces, integrated memories SRAM, and a block of reconfigurable uncommited logic.
In a Structured/Platform ASIC the predefined metallization is primarily to reduce cost of the mask sets and is also used to make the design cycle time signficantly shorter as well.
In some cases, the Structured/Platform ASIC vendor requires that customized tools for their device (for example, custom physical synthesis) be used, also allowing for the design to be brought into manufacturing more quickly.
