User manual

Full Custom, ASIC, FPGA
Full Custom: design at the transistor level.
Application Specific Integrated Circuit: design using proved gate
libraries. Starting chip likely already has transistors on it.
Field Programmable Gate Arrary: interconnected configurable
logic blocks.
Ordered going down: decreasing cost, increasing ease to produce.
