This document summarizes key points from a presentation on CMOS IC design and methodology. It addresses three questions: 1) ASICs can improve speed and reduce size/power consumption compared to general purpose ICs but are more expensive for small volumes due to custom design/manufacturing. Their uses range from image processing to sound conversion. 2) PROMs, PALs, and PLAs are types of programmable logic devices, with PALs being programmable array logic and PLAs being programmable logic arrays. 3) Based on a PLA architecture diagram, the output equations for f1, f2, and f3 are given as f1 = X
