SoC (System on a Chip) Automotive applications are undergoing a renaissance in technology that looks at ultimately empowering autonomous driving. There are several stages in this evolution and the industry is far from this goal today, but this effort has ignited the interest and imagination of the driving public around the world. A new report from Semico Research, Design Starts for 2022 by Key End Market Applications, (SC106-22), forecasts that design starts in the automotive segment will reach 5.5% by 2025.
"Today's designs, not just in automotive but across all market segments, are focused on complexity driven by AI functionality and integration of wireless interfaces," says Jim Feldhan, President, Semico Research. "They are many times more complex than those from several years ago. This complexity is driving design costs up to higher levels than the industry has previously seen. However, through the use of derivative SoC designs, the increasing use of discrete 3rd Party IP blocks and the emergence of IP Subsystems into the market, rising design costs can be managed to the point that design start activity can continue and even increase."
Additional key findings of the report include:
Semico Research's new report, Design Starts for 2022 by Key End Market Applications, (SC106-22), offers a comprehensive analysis of the ASIC design start landscape today and into the future. It provides excellent data for product planning, marketing and sales activities at fabless semiconductor companies, 3rd Party IP vendors and major OEMs and IDMs. The report includes:
