Abstract

The upsurge in microcontroller business during 2004 and the positive first numbers being reported by the SIA for 2005 suggest that the industry may see a possible upside of 6% year-to-year vs. 2004. Sales in 2004 were even more generous with the high-end microcontrollers of 16-bits and higher showing an improvement in revenue of approximately 53.5% compared with the year before.

In-Stat’s present microcontroller forecast covers almost all individual, application-level, end-use system product forecasts providing In-Stat’s estimate of microcontroller use in these systems. In some of these systems the microcontroller competes with DSP products, ASICs, ASSP, and for the lower volume systems, with FPGAs.

In-Stat believes that the next five years will be marked by the penetration of leading embedded processors and DSP into the high-bit-width microcontroller markets. ARC, ARM and MIPS for example, are in various stages of penetration into applications such as stand-alone flash memory (ARC), MCU chips (ARM) and microcontrollers aimed at smart cards (MIPS). Analog Devices, CEVA, Freescale, Infineon, StarCore, Texas Instruments, and others have pursued DSP architectures that can also function in control workloads.

This report provides a bit-wise MCU forecast and then provides a market overview, detailed data by market segment, and a forecast for over 80 applications for both 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs.
