Industry Background
−Removed: Historically, system processing capability was built using a homogenous architecture, meaning one that consisted of the use of only one type of technology.
−Removed: This could be one or more instances of a single processor type, or only programmable logic.
−Removed: More recently, there is a general trend in the semiconductor market that enhanced processing capability can come from the adoption of more heterogeneous architectures.
−Removed: Examples of this trend are the inclusion of one or more general purpose processor cores (e.g., Arm or RISC-V) in conjunction with programmable logic.
−Removed: This type of architecture enables the end user to partition their application workloads across the heterogeneous cores so that the most appropriate core is used for a given workload, often concurrently.
−Removed: Generally, this is viewed as the most optimal way to design systems that need to optimize for performance or battery life.
−Removed: The heterogeneity can be implemented as multiple discrete devices on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), multiple IP cores in a monolithic device, or as multiple devices (e.g., chiplets) integrated into an advanced package.
−Removed: An important underlying trend for the Aerospace and Defense, and Industrial markets is that there is a need for a high degree of fragmentation of system functionality.
−Removed: This drives a need for a time and cost-efficient product development flow while maintaining the ability to extend the life cycle of a given design through design changes and uniquely optimize designs for new workloads and/or algorithms that need to be deployed (e.g., deploying more advanced AI algorithms in the future).
−Removed: Development time and non-recurring engineering ("NRE") costs tend to be more of the focus for hardware products in these markets rather than the bill of materials cost.
−Removed: We believe these industry trends are shifting the demand among different classes of core silicon.
−Removed: The following are the four main classes of non-memory core silicon:
−Removed: Microcontrollers ("MCUs") are typically small, low-power hardware products on a single integrated circuit that contain a processor core, memory, and a number of peripherals.
−Removed: They are designed to be programmed with software for embedded applications;
−Removed: Application Specific Standard Products ("ASSPs") other than processors, are fixed-function hardware products designed to address a relatively narrow set of applications.

−Removed: Structured ASICs, a sub-category of ASICs, provide a limited amount of custom content to broaden the applicability of a device for additional applications.
−Removed: ASSPs are offered broadly to the market, making it challenging for a system designer to create differentiated products from these hardware products alone.
−Removed: In many situations, the available ASSPs may not directly implement the desired function and the system designer is required to use a combination of ASSPs to achieve the desired result at the expense of increased cost, product size, and power consumption.
−Removed: As standards evolve or new standards are developed, ASSPs may not be available to implement desired functions.
−Removed: System designers can customize their products using programmable logic, ASICs, or MCUs.
−Removed: The competitive dynamic between these classes of core silicon is well understood.
−Removed: High development risks, development costs, and opportunity costs are incurred when using ASICs to produce custom hardware products with either very low unit production cost or unique functionality that is only achievable with a customer ASIC solution.
−Removed: Suppliers of programmable logic hardware products, which have lower development and market risks and development costs relative to ASICs, have aggressively reduced the unit cost of their products over time, making programmable logic hardware products the solution of choice for custom products unless the volume is very high or the functionality and/or operating environment is unique.

+Added: ASSP devices are offered broadly to the market and typically implement standardized functionality.
+Added: As a result, system designers may need to combine multiple ASSP devices to implement the desired system architecture, which can increase system cost, power consumption, and board complexity.
+Added: In addition, when standards evolve or new application requirements emerge, suitable ASSP devices may not yet exist to implement the desired functionality.
+Added: System designers can customize hardware functionality using programmable logic devices, ASICs, or software-programmable processors.
