"Application-Specific Integrated Circuit" - An integrated circuit (chip) specifically designed for one task only. Similar to FPGAs, ASICs may be the low-power-consumption future of Bitcoin mining. As with FPGAs they are very power efficient but carry a comparatively higher up-front cost.

How specific are ASIC's design? Can they single hash SHA256?
A Bitcoin mining ASIC:
does not attempt to complete a single hash, rather fragments of two SHA256 compression rounds which is then compared to a target, the result is never returned
can not accept … arbitrary information that is not in the form of a partial SHA256 compression round
So in terms of competitiveness, a CPU can actually complete a SHA256 hash, a mining ASIC can not, which I suppose puts …

Using a Bitcoin or Litecoin miner for attacking PBKDF2 / SHA-256
A Bitcoin mining ASIC can only do a single task, mining, it has no ability to do anything further than take an 80 byte header, hash it, and return a nonce if it has a large enough of zero bits. … The efficiency is not as high as dedicated hardware (FPGA or ASIC), but they are commodity devices which can be used for a lot more of these sort of tasks. …

How to setup bitcoind 10.2 for solo mining on LAN with Bitmain S3
Bitcoin Core doesn't directly allow for stratum miners to connect, you need a middleman proxy to translate the two mining methods used by Bitcoin Core and cgminer on the Antminer S3. This is simplest …

Open source ASIC design plans in Hardware Description Language (HDL) format?
ASIC designs are all proprietary. This is controlled to the point where gaining information about the use for packaged chips is subject to a highly restrictive NDA. … ASIC miners are significantly more efficient than FPGA miners even on the same process, especially now that some are moving to regulator-less supply rail chaining designs, so there is no realistic chance …

When ASICs generate a share, is it always at difficulty 1?
It's hardware specific, and most of the information for Bitcoin mining ASIC are under an NDA so this can't be posted publicly. …
