ASIC vs DSP

lkj and Greg : You both appear to misunderstand what an ASIC is.

An ASIC can contain a control processor (ARM for example) or a digital signal processor (TI for example) or both or neither.

The processors (control or DSP) are typically supplied as library 'cores' which are integrated into the final ASIC design.
