Structured ASICs: Designing For The Future
In-Stat/MDR, April 2005, Pages: 65
This report presents an updated, and more in depth, analysis of the structured ASIC market, also referred to as the modular array, platform ASIC and structured array, to name just a few. The structured ASIC market is analyzed by its relationship to the total and cell-based ASIC markets, as well as by design rule, design starts, and design density. The technology is targeted at the increasing number of applications that are falling into the rift being created between high-cost, lower performance programmable logic, and the higher-performance, high-cost standard cell design approach. Current projections for the structured ASIC market are as follows: a 64.5% CAGR between 2004 and 2009, or, from a dollar perspective, dollar shipment value will grow at a rapid pace, going from $209.8 million in 2004 to $2,520.9 million by 2009.
This report includes a detailed examination relative to each of the major configuration options, including array-based, FPGA-based, configuration platform, and several other approaches. Also examined is the relationship between the six major end-use market categories, as well as by second-level applications, for the worldwide market, along with each geographic region. We also take a brief look at the use of this technology for the design of ASSPs. In addition, there will be a look at the various player offerings, major supplier rankings, and a brief profile of each company currently participating in the merchant market.
