Global Mixed Signal SoC IP Market 2014-2018 with ARM Holdings, Cadence Design Systems, CEVA, Imagination Technologies Group & Synopsys Dominating
M2 - Wed Jan 07, 3:24AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cktr87/global_mixed) has announced the addition of the "Global Mixed Signal SoC IP Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Mixed signal SoC IP market will grow at a CAGR of 20.35% over the period 2013-2018 One key trend in the market is the growing technological convergence. The convergence of many applications onto a single platform because of the rapid developments in technology demands highly integrated functionality and competitive features such as performance and power at competitive prices. This drives the demand for SoCs with more IP blocks on a chip. According to the report, one of the major drivers of this market is increased demand for mobile computing devices. The high proliferation of mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets is driving the integration of multiple CPUs, GPUs, audio and video subsystems, and as many as 60 other functional blocks on a single IC. The integration of high functionality into a single device requires more IP blocks on a single chip. Further, the report states that the main challenge faced by the market is the complexity in the design process. Mixed signal SoCs are more complex to design and manufacture than analog-only or digital-only integrated circuits. The development of mixed signal SoC IPs incurs huge R&D costs in designing IPs compatible with the manufacturing processes of OEMs. Based on application, the Global Mixed Signal SoC IP market can be segmented into eight segments: - Mixed Signal SoC Processor IP - Mixed Signal SoC ARM processor IP - Mixed Signal SoC Memory IP - Mixed Signal SoC Programmable Logic IP - Mixed Signal SoC ASIC IP - Mixed Signal SoC Data Converter IP - Mixed Signal SoC Digital IP - Mixed Signal SoC Analog IP Key Vendors - ARM Holdings - Cadence Design Systems - CEVA - Imagination Technologies Group - Synopsys Key Topics Covered: - Executive Summary - List of Abbreviations - Scope of the Report - Market Research Methodology - Introduction - Market Landscape - Technology Landscape - Market Forecast - Market Segmentation by Product - Geographical Segmentation - Buying Criteria - Market Growth Drivers - Drivers and their Impact - Market Challenges - Impact of Drivers and Challenges - Market Trends - Trends and their Impact - Vendor Landscape - Key Vendor Analysis For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ck...obal_mixed

The Heterogeneous Mobile Processing and computing market is expected to reach $61.70 Billion by the end of 2020 at a CAGR of 20.75% The semiconductor industry in the past decade has seen the emergence of Heterogeneous Mobile Processing & computing technologies. This has been driven by the increasing demands of improved performance with enhanced functions by the electronic industry. HMP and computing utilizes different types of components like processors, digital signal processors, GPUs (Graphic Processing Units), connectivity solutions (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS),and software working together within a single chip to improve the overall performance of a device. There are many semiconductor and consumer-focused IC and systems companies, which are turning to HMP & computing design to gain a competitive advantage. HMP and computing is an improved technology than the previous homogeneous processing technologies; now different processors are being integrated on a single chip to perform a particular task. This has given rise to a new processing technique to revolutionize the semiconductor industry. Heterogeneous Mobile Processing is developing in different applications like consumer electronics, telecommunication, and medical science. The ability of heterogeneous mobile processing to integrate different components together is expected to play a vital role in evolving new processing techniques. The expansion of the market has inspired research and development in HMP associated technology by Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDM) as well as other material providers and assembly service providers. With this evolution of architecture technology during the last few decades, the trend for this technology in the next decade or two will be clear if we look at the future electronics market sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive, medical, and aerospace sector in semiconductor industry.
