This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the Field-Configurable Standard Product (FCSP) market. The FCSP consists of a FPGA, in combination with one or more other functions, in products that are offered to the general merchant market. More specifically, they are targeted to lower-cost and higher volume applications, relative to a more customized solution. However, to a moderate degree, the use of the FCSP product will have some similarities to its' customer-specific, high-complexity relative, most notably in meeting multiple system design requirements and/or applications via the use of a single device.
This market has been divided into five major segments; processor-based, DSP-based, PCI-based, memory-based and 'other' functional classifications. Each will be analyzed with respect to seven major second-level applications; telecom, networking, wireless, EDP, factory automation, instrumentation and 'other'. As opposed to most other markets, over the past two years, the FCSP market represents one of the few semiconductor product segments that posted year-over-year dollar growth in both 2001 and 2002. In total, this market is forecast to grow from $14.6 million last year to $669.2 million by 2007.
Geographic consumption for each of the four major regions, The Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific, is forecast, as well as current and future users and suppliers of these products, along with programming architecture, operating voltage and packaging.
