by Programmable silicon devices such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and the latest application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) offer a high degree of flexibility and customization. FPGAs are semiconductor devices that are based around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects. CPLDs are basically simpler versions of FPGAs, containing logic blocks and interconnects that can be customized after manufacturing. ASICs are integrated circuits customized for a particular use, rather than intended for general-purpose use. These programmable silicon devices are majorly used in industries such as communications, automotive, consumer electronics, and data processing. Recent advancements in IoT technologies are generating massive volumes of data, fueling the need for edge computing. Programmable silicon is increasingly being used in edge devices and edge gateways that need to process real-time input from sensors and actuators.
The global Programmable Silicon Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 91.13 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
