SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- The Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) market, with a quickly expanding array of uses, is on a roll, according to a report from In-Stat. The value of worldwide FPGA shipments will increase from $1.9 billion in 2005 to $2.75 billion by 2010, the high-tech market research firm said. Much of this revenue will come from low-volume shipments.
 
"In large part, low-volume use of this product relates directly to price, which directly correlates to complexity, and prices can run from less that $100 per unit to several thousand dollars per unit," said Jerry Worchel, senior analyst. "End-use applications will determine the viability of using FPGAs for the long haul."
 
In-Stat predicts that the largest two end-use segments will be communications and industrial, whose combined market share will increase from 73.8% in 2005 to 76.8% by 2010.
 
Phoenix, AZ – A hydrogen-based economy? Laptops and cell phones powered by lightweight, inexpensive rechargeable fuel cells? Automobiles that run on methane and emit virtually no pollutants into the atmosphere? All this is possible - and coming sooner than you may think – according to a report on fuel cells just published by Energy Business Reports, an energy industry think tank.
 
Over the next decade, fuel cell demand will likely increase due to high petroleum prices and continued environmental concerns, says EBR. The global commercial fuel cell market is expected to reach $2.5 billion by 2009. Electric power generation is emerging as a large-scale commercial market for fuel cells and is expected to represent more than half of all demand in 2008. Aerospace and motor vehicle applications may lag somewhat in the near term, but are projected to grow rapidly between 2008 and 2013. The portable electronics market is expected to report the strongest advances over the next decade.
 
The electrical capacity of batteries has not kept pace with the increasing power consumption requirements of electronic devices. These limitations have generated enormous interest in alternative power sources, and the fuel cell is the most promising candidate.
 
When micro fuel cells are commercialized, they may provide improvements in energy storage and allow electronic devices to incorporate new features and lengthen their operating times. Users will also be able to "reload" in a few seconds by replacing the fuel cartridge.
 
Various environmental and economic factors continue to drive the need to develop fuel cells, including the cost and availability of oil, energy security, climate change and environmental quality. For more information on the report, visit EngergyBusinessReports.com.
Milpitas, CACORWIL Technology is offering a free half-day seminar for a small audience to coincide with the opening of its new SIP/MCM Center. The company also recently announced a partnership agreement with Endicott Interconnect and Singulated.
 
The three companies will conduct the seminar on SIP (system-in-package) design and production on the morning of June 23 at the Ramada Inn in Sunnyvale, CA. Attendees will learn the benefits and demands of SIP products from Endicott Interconnect for substrates, Singulated for physical design and CORWIL for prototype and production assembly.
