| Structured ASICs:
Designing For The Future |
 |
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. |
