Analog

Although analog ICs remain a vital part of the semiconductor industry, the trend to application-specific mixed-signal ICs, and the commoditization of many simple analog components has reduced demand for market studies dedicated to standard analog ICs. Consequently they now account for a limited part of IMS Research’s semiconductor portfolio.

Two key areas remain: power management & driver ICs, and audio & video ICs. Reports on these IC types support IMS Research’s strong position in Power and Consumer electronics.

The power management IC report is unrivalled in its scope. Coupled with the IMS Research studies on power discretes & modules, it provides the most comprehensive picture of the total power component market available. Our research on Audio ICs, covering both signal conditioning and data conversion, is the leading and most authoritative work on the subject and is annually purchased by the vast majority of leading vendors in this market.
