As feature sizes have shrunk and design tools improved over the years, the maximum complexity (and hence functionality) possible in an ASIC has grown from 5,000 logic gates to over 100 million.
Kako se veličina elemenata smanjila a alati za dizajn poboljšali tokom godina, maksimalna moguća složenost (i time upotrebljivost) ASIC-a je porasla od 5,000 logičkih kapija do preko 100 miliona.
