Abstract
Over the next five years, the combined PLD and Standard-Cell ASIC market will
undergo a shift in composition from being largely defined by generated ASIC
revenue, into a market in which PLDs and FPGAs have become substantial and
important contributors, as a result of the migration to these devices
occurring in the major consuming application segments.
As defined by Databeans, the logic devices market includes standard logic
components, including general purpose, digital bipolar, gate arrays, standard
cells and PLDs, the displays components segment, and then products specific to
major end-markets such as automotive, computers, consumer, industrial, and
communications, including wireless and wired segments.
The PLD and Standard-Cell ASIC market consists of programmable logic devices,
including CPLDs and FPGAs, along with the larger Standard-Cell ASIC segment.
For 2008, Databeans estimates a market size of $11.7 billion on $1.3 billion
units shipped. Over the five-year forecast period, unit growth is expected to
outpace revenue growth slightly, due to increased efficiencies and lower costs
in manufacturing.
