What are ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Integrated circuit) which are used in Micrologic?

ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Integrated circuit designed, built and intended for a specific application. It carries out repetitive sequences of instructions engraved in the silicon chip. For that reason, it is extremely reliable because it cannot be modified and is not affected by environment conditions. MicroLogic trip units use an ASIC for the protection functions. The ASIC cyclically polls the network status at a high frequency, using the values supplied by  aptors. Comparison with the settings forms the basis for orders to the electronic trip units.
