Data converters demand will be very high for this year, due to new growth in the communications and consumer markets in particular; and suppliers are ready, which will produce increased shipments with gains in revenue. The data converter provides a key technology that is used in multiple market segments and in many applications. It is essentially the connecting technology between the analog world and the digital space. These components basically convert an analog wave into a digital form for processing, and then convert it back to analog for use in the real world. The major design trend in data converters is toward higher speed and resolution, with lower power consumption. Higher sampling rates are important for applications that require fast processing, such as in wireless communication. Resolution is an issue wherever higher precision is required. Low power consumption is a requirement in several types of applications, and in portable electronics design especially. This report provides readers with a complete market picture for data converters with revenue and unit shipments for total data converters, ADCs, DACs, Muxes and Switches.  The forecasts are broken out by resolution, speed, region, and by market segment.  Supplier market share is presented for each product category and by region.
