Who Benefits from these reports?

IP vendors: Receive a complete picture of today's market, including a detailed competitive analysis, and a 5 year projection of market size.

IP customers: Gain value from these reports by reducing Time to Market with information contained in the reports including real market prices, an accurate picture of the competitive market, making the most effective selection!

GSA has collaborated with IPnest to bring the same level of information to semiconductor companies who need to integrate a wired interface function, through a survey answering to key questions:

• To support increasing bandwidth requirement, integrating high speed serial interconnect is strategic for my product line, what is the best between make vs buy an IP function to secure my own roadmap?
• If buy is the best option, what type of IP vendor should I select? Answer is given through an exhaustive vendor list analysis.
• Should I minimize the IP license cost and select a design service company to provide the function, or prefer an IP vendor with track sales record? What are the risks? The benefits?
• If I want to secure my investment, which IP vendor will certainly support the different interface roadmap all along the road, at the opposite, who may be acquired or stop the product?

Purchase the Wired Interconnect IP - 10 years Growth 2004 - 2013

Report Overview: The use of High Speed Serial Interconnect is becoming the preferred solution for new products developed across various segments. Some protocols are mostly used in target Applications, when USB and PCI Express penetration in various applications make it industry standards:

• USB from PC, PC peripherals to various Applications in Consumer Electronics
• PCIe for PC, PC peripherals, Enterprise, Embedded, Test equipment
• SATA for HDD Storage, Optical Video Drive and Set Top Box
• DDR for Memory I/F
• HDMI for High End Consumer (HDTV)
• Ethernet, XAUI for Networking

There are so many protocols and possibilities of using High Speed Serial Interconect that the real question is not to know if a product will use it to exchange data, but which protocol to use, and which generation is for a given protocol. To secure your investment, it is better to choose a protocol supported by a solid roadmap and many IP vendors. For your product needs to be interoperable, companies need to select a widely spread protocol, also supported by many IP vendors, with Customer Off-The-Shelf (COTS) available.

• ASIC suppliers, FPGA suppliers, foundries and design services suppliers, design houses involved in IC development who need to decide to buy the IP or to develop the function.
• USB, PCIe, SATA, DDR, HDMI existing IP vendor.
• IP vendors who want to diversify and select which Interface IP to invest in

PCI-express (pciE) IP Market Survey

Report Overview:

The PCI-Express (PCIe) market pervasion has been extremely fast. Where the PCIe was started with use inside PCs, usage is now primarily focused in various segments including PC peripherals, Networking, Computing, and Embedded. By 2010, PCIe will be in 440 Million devices, according to "in Stat". This report analyzes how the PCIe adoption has been made in each segment, and the preferred technology: ASIC, FPGA or ASSP used in a segment. A PCIe function being made of a physical (PHY) and a logical (Controller) part, some IP vendors are selling one of these pieces only, although a customer will need to integrate both parts to build the function:this explains whythe vendors selling an "Integrated Solution" are gaining market share. We will see also that only the PCIe IP vendors who keep a strong focus are getting success. This study analyzes the market share, growth rate and positioning of the different vendors, and propose a PCIe IP market forecast up to 2013.

What does this report answer?

• What is the license price on the open market for a PHY IP, a Controller IP?
• What will be the license price evolution over time for PCIe Gen-1 & Gen-2?
• What is the PCIe IP market size and IP vendor market shares?
• What is the split between PHY and Controller IP business?
• How many ASIC design starts in 2007 have used a PCIe function?
• How fast is the new PCIe generation being adopted?

Who needs this report?

• IDM and fabless companies who need answers to make or buy? Whom to buy IP from?
• ASIC suppliers, FPGA suppliers, foundries and design services suppliers, and design Houses involved in IC development who need to decide whether to buy IP or develop the function.

Why is there a Customer and Vendor version?

The customer version of the PCIe survey extracts the information useful for an IP customer including:

• IP quality
• Pricing information
• Pricing based on technology node and frequency, for PHY

SATA IP Market Survey

Report Overview:

The Serial ATA (SATA) penetration has been extremely fast in the storage segments, as more than 450 Million HDD has been shipped with SATA Interface. SATA is also the preferred interface in Optical Video Disk (OVD) and Set Top Box (STB). The emergence of SATA gen-2 (3 Gbps) and gen-3 (6 Gbps), combined with various storage technologies, like Network Attached Storage (NAS), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Fibre Channel create the need for an in depth analysis of the SATA IP market. This study analyzes the market share, growth rate and positioning of different IP vendors, and proposes a SATA IP market forecast up to 2013.

What Questions Does This Report Answer?

• What is the license price for a SATA PHY IP, a Controller IP?
• What was the SATA IP market size and IP vendor market shares?
• SATA roadmap: how SATA 3G is being adopted?
• In which segments SATA 6G will be adopted?
• What is the SATA protocol positioning versus USB and PCI Express?
• Is SATA at risk due to the emergence of USB 3.0?

Who Needs This Report?

• Storage and Multimedia OEMs involved in IC development needing to decide on "make vs. buy"
• ASIC and FPGA suppliers, foundries and design services suppliers, design houses needing to decide on "make vs. buy"
• SATA PHY IP vendors
• SATA Controller IP vendors
