VLSI Applications
VLSI is an implementation technology for electronic circuitry - analogue or digital
It is concerned with forming a pattern of interconnected switches and gates on the surface of a crystal of semiconductor
* Microprocessors
* personal computers
* Microcontrollers
* Memory - DRAM / SRAM
* Special Purpose Processors - ASICS (CD players, DSP applications)
* Optical Switches
Has made highly sophisticated control systems mass-producable and therefore cheap
