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

• Rising Demand for Smart Devices

High demand for smart devices such as smartphones, smartwatches and other consumer electronics is the key SoC market driver. An SoC is an integrated circuit that combines a Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), memory, digital and analog functions on a single chip. SoCs are also well-suited to small form factor applications where efficient energy utilization is preferred. By using SoCs for all these functions, manufacturers have the freedom to grow in both size and performance within speed and battery limitations. With a consumer preference for feature-rich and multifunctional devices, the semiconductor industry has turned toward SoC designs to make its devices smaller, more energy efficient and high performance.

• Expansion of IoT ecosystems

As the Internet of Things applications continue to grow in sectors such as smart home, industrial automation, and health care, SoCs will proliferate in "smart" devices. These IoT devices are usually built on very small power computing platforms, with wireless connectivity, sending and receiving data continuously and often run in low power and remote environments. SoCs provide the levels of computing performance and energy efficiency required by IoT devices, with smart home products, wearables and connected medical devices all running on a custom SoC architecture. As the number of connected devices grows, the demand for scalable, secure and efficient chipsets continues to increase.

• 5G and Edge Computing Adoption

With 5G networks and devices being deployed, there is also a need for computing power such as the processor speed as well as low latency from edge computing on devices using 5G. This would extend to the SoC on devices supporting 5G networks. However, in edge computing, where computation happens locally, a high performance chip is needed at small scale. SoCs can be used for multi-purpose and provide a small physical form factor for such applications. The need for chips, SoCs and components in base stations, smartphones, autonomous vehicles and numerous categories of smart infrastructure will grow as 5G continues its global rollout.

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

• Heterogeneous Integration

Heterogeneous integration is generally perceived as the way forward in the SoC space. Function blocks could be CPUs, accelerators (such as AI accelerators), sensors, radio, software stacks, and potentially anything else, all on a single die. This approach will continue to provide improvements in capability without size or power increases, especially for SoCs with heterogeneous processors as the role of AI within devices becomes more common, particularly within use cases such as augmented-reality/virtual-reality (AR/VR) headsets where high throughput and multi-tasking are important. Furthermore, heterogeneous packages may have advantages in thermal performance and lower delay of links than have been obtained through the use of a separate discrete device, as well as 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 major trend is in custom application specific SoCs (ASIC SoCs). In our opinion, companies will want to create their own chipsets that fit their application whether it is a gaming console, industrial automation system, or a security system instead of relying on a standard from a vendor. Customizations with application specific chipsets can allow for more focused energy use with competitive separation. Even the larger tech vendors design their own chipsets to have more control with respect to integration and interoperability with the hardware and software. We are now seeing companies move away from the reference designs that we are discussing, and into the field of 'customized reference designs'. These designs have some interesting effects on chip manufacture and we will see how these effects are being manifested, and what they mean for SoC architecture design.
