Growth continues for high performance analog
28 July 2004
News
Databeans has released a study on high-speed linear ICs and estimates that high speed analog revenue at $8,2 bn in 2003. High performance analog products are high-speed, high resolution, and highly efficient.
Examples include high-speed LVDS interface, high resolution, application-specific mixed-signal used in base stations, highly-efficient Class D audio power amplifiers used in consumer electronics, and efficient switching regulator ICs.
High-speed linear products, which constitute a sub segment of the high performance analog market, include high-speed mixed-signal converters, high-speed interface, and high-speed amplifiers. Combined, Databeans estimates that these products constitute 23% of the total high performance analog market.
In 2003, high-speed linear sales were up 32,7% over the previous year, and the high speed linear market is experiencing even stronger demand this year. Databeans expects sales to increase by over 33% for 2004. Longer term, the market for high speed linear should continue to advance with an average annual growth rate of 16% through 2009.
2003 High performance analog revenue share by product
Major volume applications markets that require high-speed linear products include broadband and wireless, consumer electronics (home entertainment and appliances), computers, industrial equipment, medical electronics, and vehicle entertainment systems. Major players in the high speed linear market include Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Maxim Integrated Products, National Semiconductor, Intersil and Linear Technology.
