Microcontroller MCU Intelligence Service

A microcontroller (MCU) consists of a processing core, memory, and peripheral  in a single compact package. MCUs are designed for embedded control applications and offer a wide selection of performance levels, memory sizes, and feature sets. Entry-level MCUs can carry out many common control functions at minimum cost. Higher-end MCUs can include graphics coprocessors, authentication and security functions, analog functions such as ADCs and DACs, communications processors, touchscreen interfaces, and much more. This design flexibility makes the MCU the preferred choice for many industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer applications.

The MCU intelligence service provides a comprehensive view of the MCU market and competitive landscape. The database provides 5-year revenue and unit shipment forecasts for fifty separate applications. It also shows splits by MCU characteristics including word size, functional designs, I/O characteristics, and core technologies. Finally, the service includes regional splits and supplier market shares in multiple segments. Product Overview
