 Key Semiconductor Market Data FSA, the voice of the global fabless business model, announces the availability of updated trend and statistical data within its Semiconductor Market Report. The Report, a collaborative effort between FSA and IC Insights, provides comprehensive market trend information for companies in the outsourced supply chain. It offers data, statistics and business intelligence to conceptualize business strategies and formulate recommendations. Updated report sections include: Leading Integrated Circuit (IC) Suppliers, Global IC Outlook and Cycles and Foundry. The Leading IC Suppliers section features final semiconductor company sales rankings for 2006, including the top 50 semiconductor, IC, and fabless IC supplier rankings, as well as 2006 rankings of suppliers within various IC product market segments. The Global IC Outlook and Cycles section focuses on the growth rates of the semiconductor market and the electronic system industry. From 1978 to 2006, the semiconductor market grew annually at almost twice the rate of the electronic system industry, at 12.7 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) compared to 6.9 percent CAGR for electronic systems. IC Insights forecasts the annual electronic system sales growth will be slightly below its historical average at 6.6 percent, while the average annual semiconductor market growth will slow but still register a healthy 8.4 percent CAGR from 2006 to 2011. “More IC product areas are being dominated by a few companies, and making profits in an IC segment where the company is not one of the top three to four companies is challenging,” said Bill McClean, president of IC Insights. “The trend over the past five years indicates that the IC industry is maturing and will lead to a more profitable future for the market leaders and a continued struggle for lower-ranked companies.” The Foundry section compares pure-play and integrated device manufacturer (IDM) foundry markets, as well as forecasts the potential growth over the next four years. From 2006 to 2011, pure-play foundry sales are expected to display a 15 percent CAGR, almost double the eight percent total IC industry CAGR expected during the same time frame. The IDM foundry business is forecast to grow just over US$6.0 billion in 2011, a 2006 to 2011 CAGR of 12 percent. Pure-play foundries are forecast to represent 85 percent of total foundry sales in 2007. For more information, visit www.fsa.org/store.

Power Supplies: Using the System Builder www.acopianpowersupplies.com/powersys.aspx at Acopian Power Supplies’ Web site, www.acopian.com, engineers can design their own multiple-output power systems, redundant systems and customized power supplies by simply specifying output voltages and currents and any special features that are required. Any size restriction can also be entered. The company will then use its production expertise to ensure that the power supply will be assembled, tested, and shipped within nine days after receipt of the order. Infrared Thermography: FLIR Systems, a leader in infrared cameras, has launched a Web site, www.infraredresearchcameras.com. The site is tailored to scientists and engineers working in research and development applications and meant to serve as a resource center for technical applications involving infrared thermography. The site includes a complete Download Center, located within each product section, with detailed images, white papers, data sheets and technical background that will serve as a convenient reference library for the industry. Society of Manufacturing Engineers: The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) announces the launch of society-related news in Really Simple Syndication (RSS) on its Web site. RSS is a labour-saving tool which allows Web users to tune into information sources that interest them and makes it possible for them to keep up with their favourite Web sites in an automated manner that is easier than checking them manually. Utilizing any RSS reader, users can now subscribe to the SME News Feed which will provide them with the latest up-to-the-minute SME news. http://feeds.feedburner.com/sme Power Solutions: Staco Energy Products Co. introduces its Web site at www.stacoenergy.com which gives viewers multiple ways to search for solutions to common power problems like power outages, overheated transformers, flickering lights, power factor penalties, voltage fluctuations, high utility bills, and nuisance tripping breakers. To address these issues, Staco presents information on their voltage regulators, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), power factor correction equipment, harmonic mitigation equipment, variable transformers, test sets, and more. |

Agilent
Technologies Inc. has announced the industry’s first oscilloscope-based
DDR3 compliance test application. The U7231A DDR3 test application,
which runs on Infiniium 54850 and 80000 series oscilloscopes, provides
DDR3 compliance measurements based on the Joint Electronic Device
Engineering Council (JEDEC) JESD79-3 DDR3 SDRAM specifications. It
covers clock, electrical and timing parameters. This application also
features advanced debug mode, which provides critical measurements such
as eye-diagram analysis, mask tests, ringing measurements and other
tests that are not covered in the JEDEC specifications.
