Application-specific integrated circuit, an Uncommon card
An application-specific integrated circuit is an integrated circuit chip customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use, such as a chip designed to run in a digital voice recorder or a high-efficiency video codec.

Application-specific integrated circuit quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Application-specific integrated circuit card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
ASIC chips are typically fabricated using metal–oxide–______ technology, as MOS integrated circuit chips.
Answer
semiconductor. ASIC chips are typically fabricated using metal–oxide–semiconductor technology, as MOS integrated circuit chips. From the Application-specific integrated circuit article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Application-specific integrated circuit. Application-specific integrated circuit 120,000 · Antica Farmacia Sant'Anna 970 · Filamin-A 730 · Mir-375 540 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Application-specific standard product chips are intermediate between ASICs and industry standard integrated circuits like the 7400 series or the 4000 series.
- ASIC chips are typically fabricated using metal–oxide–semiconductor technology, as MOS integrated circuit chips.
- As feature sizes have shrunk and chip design tools improved over the years, the maximum complexity possible in an ASIC has grown from 5,000 logic gates to over 100 million.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Application-specific integrated circuit article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Application-specific integrated circuit
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
