?Glossary
Our Strength
Fujitsu Semiconductor is focusing its business around the four pillars of “Mobile,” “Automotive,” “Advanced Imag-
ing,” and “High-performance (Industrial Equipment).” In these four areas, we offer highly reliable, optimized
solutions that meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications,
from imaging to wireless communications and security, and are increasingly energy efficient as a result of the
emphasis we place on the environment. Fujitsu Semiconductor is expanding its business globally through devel-
opment and sales sites in Japan, the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Fab-lite
A combination of the words “fab” (i.e., a semiconductor manufacturing
plant) and “lite,” this term refers to maintaining minimal in-house manu-
facturing capacity, with additional production outsourced. This approach
contrasts with a fabless model, in which development and design alone
are conducted in-house, with all manufacturing outsourced.
Microcontroller (Microcomputers)
Microcontrollers (also, microcomputers) contain a CPU, memory, and
I/O (input/output) interface circuits all on a single chip.
ASIC
An IC custom-manufactured for a particular customer
ASSP
A standard product that implements a specific function, such as
image or network processing
SoC
System on Chip. Also known as system LSI, refers to the condensing
onto a single chip of functionality derived by combining functions
previously spread across multiple individual ICs; the result is devices
that are more compact but offer higher performance.
IP
For LSIs, refers to conventional intellectual property as well as circuit
diagrams, software and other design assets
