An FPGA can be the right choice early in a product’s life. As volumes grow, cost, power and long-term availability can start to matter more than flexibility.
In @ETTodayMag, we explore five signs it may be time to move to an ASIC.

The UK spent £62.0bn on defence in 2025/26, rising to £79.1bn by 2029/30 under the Defence Investment Plan.
That investment depends on secure, high-integrity electronics.
We design encrypted comms ICs and fault-tolerant ASICs for defence and aerospace platforms.

A raw position sensor signal isn't usable on its own.
Our interfaces read LVDTs and RVDTs, turning raw signals into measurements accurate to within 0.1°. Already deployed in suspension damping and robotic joints

80% of manufacturing execs plan to invest 20%+ of improvement budgets in smart manufacturing.
That only works if sensors keep pace. Interface ASICs integrate conditioning, calibration and digitisation into one device, built around the sensor.

GNSS signals can be jammed or spoofed, leaving engineers to rely on IMUs when satellite positioning drops out.
In @New_Electronics , we explain why confidence in inertial data matters more than generating it, and how mixed-signal ASICs help.

Most ASIC projects don’t start with “we need an ASIC”. They start with a design problem.
Board space, power, sensor conditioning, FPGA migration or obsolescence?

From July 2026, EU GSR2 Phase 3 adds new ADAS requirements: driver distraction warning & pedestrian/cyclist collision detection.
More scenarios to detect. Same processing window.
ASICs keep radar/camera/lidar fusion fast enough to keep up.

Industrial sensors speak in millivolts — that's the risk ⚠️
Long cable runs and motor noise can distort a signal before it's measured.
Ross Turnbull explains the fix in IN Electronics and Design.

Radar performance involved more than software – architecture matters too📡
Beamforming sits closer to the antenna; the gate-driver stage shapes transmit accuracy.
Ross Turnbull explores this in @ElectroWo .

Manufacturers can source the same sensors, processors and off-the-shelf parts.
What's harder to replicate is a system built around a chip designed for specific requirements.
Integration is what makes custom silicon difficult to reproduce.
