Abstract
This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the embedded
Field-Programmable Gate Array (eFPGA) market. That is to say, designs that
include pre-defined blocks of FPGA, along with other functions, such as memory
and logic, in a cell-based design will see their worldwide revenues increase
from $10.9 million in 2003 to over $807.4 million by 2008, primarily via the
emergence of the single-chip development platform. That translates to a compound
annual growth rate, 2003-2008, of 136.6%. Not bad.
End-use consumption of products designed using this technology is examined in
detail for major end-use markets; Electronic Data Processing (EDP),
communications, consumer, industrial, and military/automotive. The EDP,
communications, consumer and industrial markets are also detailed one level
further, such as networks, switches, servers, set-top boxes, etc. Geographic
consumption for each of the four major regions, The Americas, Europe, Japan and
Asia Pacific is also explored, as is operating voltage, programming
architecture, packaging and mixed-signal content.
This report further explores, down to the embedded functional level, i.e.,
SRAM, DRAM, MPU, DSP, analog, etc., functions that will be included within the
design along with the embedded FPGA. Other areas analyzed in this report relate
to the companies that are, or have an interest in this type of technology, as
well as who are, and who might be, suppliers of this type of technology as we go
forward.
