Growth Factors in the System-on-Chip (SoC) Market:

• Rising Demand for Smart Devices

The surge in smart devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, and other consumer electronics is a major proponent of the SoC space. SoC solutions integrate multiple functions such as CPU, GPU, memory, and wireless modules into a single chip - this is perfect for compact devices that require high efficiency and low power consumption. Furthermore, with SoCs shared across system functions, manufacturers can realize not only size reductions but also performance increases in speed and battery constraints. With the demand for more feature-rich and multifunctional gadgets, manufacturers are turning to SoC designs to provide compact, power-efficient, and high-performance solutions across their product lines.

• Expansion of IoT ecosystems

As applications with the Internet of Things (IoT) continue to blossom in smart homes, industrial automation, and health care, demand for SoCs for "smart" products will also grow. IoT devices typically involve/rise from a compact, low-power computing platform to communicate and reliably transmit data often in remote locations or in low power states. SoCs allow the needed level of processing power along with energy efficiency that IoT devices require. Smart home products, wearables, and connected medical devices all rest upon a custom SoC architecture. With the number of connected devices rapidly growing, the need for scalable, secure, and efficient chipsets is also continuing for growth.

• 5G and Edge Computing Adoption

The advent of 5G networks and emerging edge computing capabilities are changing computing base requirements, especially the role of SoCs in devices. Devices that are 5G-enabled require fast processors to keep up with the higher data rates delivered over these new networks, as well as low-latency operations. Conversely, edge computing requires data to be processed locally, and reliant on a chip that packs a lot of power into a small footprint. An SoC can provide both a multi-functional solution in a small physical size. The need for chips, SoCs, and other components, such as those used in base stations, smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and various forms of smart infrastructure is just going to grow as 5G technologies proliferate worldwide.

Key Trends in the System-on-Chip (SoC) Market

• Heterogeneous Integration

A generally accepted trend in the SoC market is the move toward heterogeneous integration. Function blocks are heterogeneously integrated on single dies, which include CPUs and AI accelerators, as well as sensors, wireless software stacks, or any other major component. This type of design will continue to provide advanced capabilities for devices without added size or operational inefficiencies. As AI begins to proliferate in devices and in contexts such as AR/VR headsets where high speed and multi-tasking are critical for success, heterogeneous SoCs will be needed. Additionally, these heterogeneous packages can provide better thermal management and minimize interconnect delays, as compared to a separate discrete device, which also furthers high speed and responsibility."

• AI and Machine Learning Capabilities

As AI moves to the center of many applications, SoC’s are being designed with integrated NPUs, or neural processing units, and AI accelerators, enabling the edge device to perform AI tasks such as voice recognition, image classification, and predictive analytics locally (on the device), rather than using a cloud server. This feature is a game changer for applications requiring instant responses, such as autonomous driving, robotics, or smart surveillance. This trend represents a shift to intelligent edge devices that provide performance while respecting user privacy (data privacy) and keeping low latency.

• Customized SoC Development

Another key trend we are seeing is the shift to customized or application specific SoCs (ASIC SoCs). Companies are leading trend by designing customized, application specific chipsets tailored to their application, whether it’s a gaming console, industrial automation system, or security system. Customizability and application specific chipsets allows for better allocation of resources, energy savings, and competitive separation. Major technology vendors in regards to their chipsets, are further even designing their chipsets in-house to give them tighter control of integration of hardware and software. We are seeing companies move away from using reference designs for their chipsets and abide by the recommendation for using 'customised reference designs'. And we are seeing the interesting effects this trend is having on the chip manufacturing industry and will continue to see the effects this trend has on designing SoC architectures.
