It is a node with one job. Bitcoin runs on Secure Hash Algorithm 2 or SHA2. That's the algorithm specific to bitcoin, so an ASIC that runs on SHA2 will only solve problems on that network. Litecoin ASICS use the Scrypt algorithm so a Litecoin miner will not work on the bitcoin network. That said, DOGE also runs on Scrypt, so you can run a Scrypt ASIC on either the DOGE network or the Litecoin network, but not on the bitcoin network.

with the way DOGE is merge mined with LTC, I think Scrypt ASICs mine both chains simultaneously
