Addition : Sometimes the EEPROM(self) configured devices are refered to as CPLD, while the SRAM (not self configured) devices are refered to as FPGA. An ASIC doesn't have to be big in number of gates, nor does it have to be fabricated in huge numbers. It may just be something not available in other technologies.
