Abstract
This report presents a detailed analysis of the 16-bit embedded microprocessors (eMPU), cell-based customer-specific market, i.e., custom designs that include at least one pre-defined 16-bit microprocessor core, along with other functions, using the cell-based design approach. The 16-bit embedded architecture will rapidly become the smallest segment, based on revenues in the customer-specific, cell-based market, seeing its worldwide revenues decrease from $374.9 million last year, which was up 4.0% from 2002, to $363.53 million by 2008, which averages considerably less than 10% of all revenues in this market. This translates to a compound annual growth rate, 2003-2008, of ・.6%.
End-use consumption of products incorporating 16-bit eMPU technology is examined in detail by major end-use market; Electronic Data Processing (EDP), communications, consumer, industrial, and military/automotive, as well as by major second-level end-use application, such as networks, basestations, servers, factory automation, electronic games and toys, et cetera. Geographic consumption for each of the four major regions, The Americas, Europe, Japan and Asia Pacific is also explored, as are processor architectures (ARM, MIPS, etc.), hard- vs. soft-core implementation, operating voltage, packaging, and mixed-signal trends, along with suppliers of 16-bit eMPU cores, be they IDMs or independent IP providers.
