DC/DC Converters, DC/DC Regulators, and PWM/PFM Controllers: Global Market Demand Analysis
Report
The 227-page, 94-exhibit report contains base year 2004 data and forecasts through 2008. The proliferation of lower voltages at higher current levels has fueled an increased use of distributed power architecture with POLs across more applications.
This report presents an analysis of the current size and future growth of the worldwide merchant markets for internal DC/DC converters, DC/DC switching regulators and PWM/PFM controllers. The 227-page, 94-exhibit report contains base year 2004 data and forecasts through 2008.
Report Highlights
The proliferation of lower voltages at higher current levels has fueled an increased use of distributed power architecture with POLs across more applications
In 2004 there was a surge in unit demand for DC/DC converters due to pent-up demand.
The semiconductor industry had a substantial recovery in 2004 achieving the peak historic levels of the year 2000.
During 2004, prices again eroded.
Semiconductor companies and analysts anticipate little growth for the entire semiconductor industry, but VDC forecasts double-digit growth for DC/DC power chips.
