Analog and Mixed IP are the types of IP blocks made of transmitters, receivers, and operational amplifiers which help in the development of low-cost, low-power SoC (System on a Chip) for a wide range of networking applications. As standard interfaces are integrated in SoCs designed for applications such as single chip recordable DVD, CODECs and MP3 players, demand for connectivity intellectual property (IP) for high-speed serial buses such as USB 2.0, and HDMI is rising. To extend the battery life of these SoCs, semiconductor technologies require ultra-low power derivatives of high-performance logic manufacturing techniques that enable the development of extremely low-power SoCs for mobile platforms and compact form-factor devices. Many of these SoCs are now made at 90nm process nodes, and the transition to 65nm design has been faster than planned.

The major companies profiled in the analog and mixed signal IP market include Cadence Design Systems Inc., Silicon Creations LLC, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Renesas Electronics Corporation, ARM Holdings PLC, Xilinx Inc., Intel Corporation, Analog Devices Inc., Synopsys Inc., VeriSilicon Holdings Co.

Top Impacting Factors

Transmitters, receivers, and amplifiers, among other components, make up the majority of the analogue and mixed signal blocks. This allows them to simplify their design and improve their apps across several platforms. The capacity to produce standardized IP blocks that may be used in a variety of devices lowers operating expenses significantly. The reusability of analogue and mixed blocks has increased due to the developments in software that allow analogue circuits to move over identical system processes, which is a major analog and mixed signal IP market share driver. The architecture of mobile phones, CPUs, and other communications equipment is standard. This also contributes to the analog and mixed signal IP increasing reusability.

Market Trends

New Product Launches to Flourish the Market

According to analog and mixed signal IP market analysis, SerDes Technology, of the company Silicon Creations, in August 2020, was used in a Novatek Microelectronics Corp. SoC for an 8K digital TV application. The frame-rate converter SoC was created using TSMC's 12nm technology. In February 2020 - Marvell and Analog Devices, Inc. established a technical partnership to produce fully optimized 5G base station solutions using Marvell's 5G digital platforms and ADI's wideband RF transceiver technology. The businesses are expected to offer fully integrated 5G digital front-end (DFE) ASIC solutions with tightly connected RF transceivers as part of the agreement. The market players are projected to work together to create next-generation radio unit (RU) solutions, which include baseband and RF technology that is suited for a variety of functional splits and designs. In May 2020 - Synopsys, Inc. released the largest portfolio of high-quality IP for high-performance computing system-on-chips based on TSMC's 5nm manufacturing technology (SoCs). It accelerates the development of SoCs for high-end cloud computing, AI accelerators, networking, and storage applications by including interface IP for the most extensively used high-speed protocols as well as foundation IP.

Surge in Usage in Telecommunication and Automobile Applications

Telecommunication infrastructure is one of the primary factors driving the growth of the industry due to the arrival of the 4G network and some elements of the 5G network. Manufacturers of wireless infrastructure, particularly 4G and 5G networks, are constantly shrinking the cost and size of their recently installed wireless infrastructure and maintaining high performance, functionality, and service quality criteria. Industries such as telecommunications, automobiles, and mobile are rapidly expanding. In addition to the industry's expansion, product developments have been tremendous globally. Mobile phones are getting small, and communications devices have a strong need for high-performance components. Owing to the lower size and improved performance criteria, analog and mixed signal IPs are ideal for these applications. New technical advances and research in the analog and mixed signal IP market forecast are projected to drive the industry growth.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The ongoing fall in the sector is mostly due to the impact of the recent viral outbreak on the overall sector. The global lockdowns imposed by the spreading of COVID-19 have had an impact on not just electronics manufacturing but also consumer demand. Although the entire impact of the COVID-19 is still unknown, it is expected to have a significant impact across the electronics value chain, from materials to end products. The COVID-19 has exposed the present electronics and semiconductor value chain's possible risks and vulnerabilities. It is forcing the industry to reconsider its global supply chain strategy, which is anticipated to have an impact on the analog and mixed signal IP market size to some extent.
