Description
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 MOS gate array market is segmented into three major sub-categories: Conventional Gate Array, Embedded Array (or array embedded into a cell-based design), and the structured ASIC. The technology is targeted at the increasing rift being created between high-cost and lower performance programmable logic, and the higher-performance, high-cost, standard cell design approach. Current projections for the structured ASIC market; a 144.9% CAGR between 2002 and 2007, or, from a dollar perspective, dollar shipment value will grow at an almost incredible pace, increasing from $5.2 million in 2002 to $460.3 million by 2007.

This report analyzes the many factors that will cause this technology to increase in value, at a near record pace. Examined in the report is the relationship between the three major ASIC/Array market segments, of which only one will grow in the future. A detailed examination is also conducted relative to both major and secondary end-use markets, as well as geographic consumption. We also take a brief look at the major functions that are embedded, either hard or soft, into these designs. In addition, there is a somewhat detailed look at the various player offerings, as well as operating voltage, packaging and mixed-signal trends.
