The ND-110 made extensive use of PALs and gate arrays - with "semi-custom" VLSI chips.
Based on Intel's 80186, it had proprietary VLSI chips that enhanced and sped up the graphics.
It was primarily for this reason that CMOS became the most used technology to be implemented in VLSI chips.
In VLSI chips, random logic is often implemented with standard cells and gate arrays.
The later Orange Micro version consists of a single board with a greater degree of VLSI chips.
If these transistors can be scaled up into VLSI chips, they will significantly improve the performance per power of integrated circuits.
Design and development of VLSI chips & SOC development.
Being a single chip it replaces the 12 VLSI chips used in Sparcstation 2 and the 79 it took to build the original Sun 490s.
Cirrus Logic would provide a VLSI chip that would retrieve data placed in memory by the MSP, apply effects, and send it off for display.
Embodying such designs into VLSI chips promises to enable the development of increasingly general-purpose adaptive autonomous algorithms for multiple applications.
