Complexities in Designs of Consumer Electronic Devices with Continuous Innovations Drive Semiconductor IP Market
The consumer electronics industry is evolving exponentially, and the pressure exerted from the demand side is compelling suppliers to provide differentiated products and be the first movers in the market. Tough competition between peers in the consumer electronics industry has resulted in price wars leading to decreasing profitability for the manufacturers. As a result of these factors, manufacturers strive continuously for innovating their offerings. The flourishing trend of miniaturization in the consumer electronics industry has created the need for contraction of package components down to the design-rule level of early technologies. Integrated circuit (IC) packages must deliver higher lead counts, reduced lead pitch, minimum footprint area, and significant volume reduction. As a result, this has led semiconductor manufacturers to develop small outline package (SOP) in various industry applications. Power SOP packages, when combined with a heat spreading thermal mass, make the resulting dimensions an ideal choice for office automation, industrial controls, networking, and consumer applications that generate internal heat and are exposed to stressful temperature conditions. In such a complex scenario, the presence of semiconductor IP eases out pressures on the IC industry and ensures the ready availability of complex electronic designs.
Type Insights
