LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Global Mixed Signal SoC Market is growing at a CAGR of 12.75 percent from 2014-2018, says research firm TechNavio.
About the Report
The latest report by TechNavio focuses on the increase in chip density as a main growth driver for System-on-Chip (SoC) technology. The number of functions that an IC is able to perform has increased considerably, while the cost of the IC has decreased gradually because of high circuit densities.
“To keep pace with increasing levels of integration, designers and engineers are continuously developing new methodologies and techniques to manage more circuitry within the same area at the same cost. This has resulted in the emergence of a new methodology called SoC design, wherein predesigned and pre-verified blocks such as IP blocks, IP cores, and virtual components are combined on a single chip,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.
“Currently, more than 85 percent of SoCs are mixed signals, and these contain both digital and analog circuits. This has provided SoC manufacturers with a platform to reduce the size of the IC, and also integrate a large number of functions on a single IC, which can handle many application-specific processing functions.”
