ASIC mappers are, as the name suggests, custom-made integrated circuits used to perform memory mapping tasks that are too complex or cost-prohibitive to implement using discrete components. Many ASIC mappers also include additional features such as interrupt counters, nametable mirroring controls, and sometimes even additional sound channels.
