I think you may have slightly the wrong end of the stick there - an
ASIC, in the elctronics industry, is just another name for a custom
built chip, usually with the client's logo stamped on the top. The
'3-ASICs' name would imply that the particular camera has 3 such chips
inside it.

You are correct. Olympus' image sensor engine is called TruePic.

However, I thought I recall that saw about 3-ASIC being mentioned in
Olympus website for their image processor in their earlier pro DSLR
E-1. But I could be wrong.
