Application Specific Standard Product




An application specific standard product or '''ASSP''' is an Integrated Circuit that implements a specific function that appeals to a wide market. As opposed to ASIC s that combine a collection of functions and designed by or for one customer, ASSPs are available as off-the-shelf components. ASSPs are used in all industries, from automotive to communications.

Examples of ASSPs are integrated circuits that perform video and/or audio encoding and/or decoding.
