Gradually eroded the industrial market proprietary ARM core MCU stick Advantage 2
Proprietary core 32-bit mainstream market still depends on the future evolution of long-term growthAlthough the ARM core based 32-bit embedded MCU products are designed to accelerate win, but still holds the exclusive 32-bit MCU core of the mainstream market. For example, according to statistics related to market research firm, the core 32-bit MCU Renesas proprietary occupy 27.7% of 32-bit MCU market, NEC market share of 22.9%, 17.3% of Freescale. And on only three of nearly 70%, not to mention the semiconductor market are Toshiba, Atmel, Microchip Fujitsu Microelectronics and proprietary companies such as core products.
The core in some specialized areas of know-how, such as network communications, automotive electronics, medical electronics remained dominant market position. According to market research firm StrategyAnalytics related statistics, in 2008 the automotive MCU market is 55 billion. Among them, Freescale, Renesas and NEC holds the top three position in the industry, three companies totaled 60% market share.
In industry, the most famous 32-bit MCU core is Freescale's ColdFire. Moreover, although the ARM core MCU products are expanding industrial market applications, but Freescale, Renesas and other companies are stepping up their search for new opportunities in industrial markets. For example, in 2009, Freescale MCF5225x and MCF51CN128/64ColdFire products.
These products have very good connectivity and very good eco-system, but also complimentary real-time operating system, which greatly reduces the customer involved in 32-bit MCU application costs. Such products in the building control and high-end medical market is very popular. Again, Fujitsu Microelectronics of concern in motor control, system control and instrumentation products and other industrial areas, speed up introduction of high-performance 32-bit FR60MCU 80MIPS products, product quality stable and reliable, high peripheral integration, to meet industry applications.
