The aim of this paper is to shed more light on the problem of using ASICs in industrial cost sensitive applications with production limited to a few hundred chips. In order to cope with customer's requirements for a low cost solution and short turnaround time, different design methodologies and implementation technologies are analysed and compared. We have compared the efficiency of the following design methodologies: FPGA, standard cell, and combination of full-custom and cell-based. The choise of actual design methodology and implementation technology was mostly influenced by the final ASIC price. The most appropriate solution is identified for small volume production of the ASIC.
