Mask PROM & EPROM Market Analysis
The Global Mask PROM and EPROM Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 10.26% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The proliferation of usage of electronic devices across all the sectors is driving the growth of the mask PROM and EPROM market.
- Mask PROM and EPROM are used as program storage chips in Microcontrollers in electronic devices. Masked PROMs and EPROMs are cheaper and can operate in high temperatures, which is significantly driving the growth of the studied market. The memory of the microcontroller stores the data that the processor receives and utilizes to respond to the instructions that it has been programmed to carry out. In a microcontroller, program memory is where the CPU keeps long-term information about the instructions it executes.
- Mask PROM and EPROM are very difficult to reprogram, and the data in this type is stored permanently. Resultantly, it has applications in BIOS settings, Gaming Consoles, and security systems. Typically, this PROM and EPROM are hardwired or masked. The first-order boot-loader program is largely stored in the Mask PROM and EPROM. These are commonly mapped to the address where the main CPU starts collecting instructions after a reset. An I/O interface can then be used to download a second-order boot loader or the main software.
- Mask PROM and EPROM contain the programming that allows a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on. Mask PROM and EPROM contain software instructions for the protection of programs. This software includes instructions for the computer's boot-up procedures, such as loading the operating system (OS) into random access memory (RAM) or executing hardware diagnostics. As a result, PROM and EPROM are frequently used for firmware updates.
- Silicon is the primary raw material for mask PROM and EPROM. The base material for manufacturing these products are silicon carbide, germanium, and gallium arsenide. Due to the difficulty in obtaining these resources, there is a persistent supply issue with regular variations. Resultantly, these factors are projected to slow the growth of the worldwide mask PROM and EPROM memory market in the coming years.
- However, COVID-19 has had a detrimental influence on the mask PROM and EPROM business since the pandemic severely disrupted the worldwide supply chain for all semiconductors. The consumer electronics and enterprise sectors suffered significant output losses because of the global trade downturn, with the manufacturing, BFSI, and retail sectors bearing the brunt of the damage. Manufacturing industries have been hit hard by the shutdown, with nearly every plant shut down. Many vital commodity manufacturing firms are also unable to maintain operations due to a labor shortage caused by the pandemic. As a result of COVID-19, the growth of Global Mask Prom and EPROM during the pandemic has declined.
Mask PROM & EPROM Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Mask PROM & EPROM Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Trend of Usage of Microcontroller in Automobiles is Expected to Drive the Market's Growth
- Automotive microcontrollers are self-contained systems with their CPU, memory, and peripherals. The system makes use of an embedded chip that controls operations in autos. Microcontrollers are employed in the system since they are compact and have few components. The instructions of the microcontroller for desired functions in the automobile are saved in the Masked PROM and EPROM chip embedded in the IC of the controller. The use of various microcontrollers in-vehicle electronics, as well as other electronic control units, is expanding. AVR microcontrollers, 8051 microcontrollers, PIC microcontrollers, and other types of microcontrollers are commonly used in automobiles. These microcontrollers include an 8-bit or 16-bit microprocessor and a Mask PROM to operate.
- The EPROM's functions in the automobile industry include information storage, command execution, and communication to the various car parts, including the intake manifold. According to OICA, About 9.17 million automobiles were produced by the American auto industry in 2021, an increase from 8.82 million in 2020. The figures comprise light trucks, heavy vehicles, buses, coaches, and passenger automobiles. Such a huge increase in automotive production will drive the studied market.
- To meet the various demands of the customer and expand their presence in different regions, microcontroller firms are developing new products for the automotive industry. For instance, in April 2022, The E3 family of ARM-based automotive microcontrollers was released by Nanjing SemiDrive Technology Ltd. . Drive-by-wire chassis, brake control, BMS, ADAS/autonomous driving motion control, LCD instrumentation, HUD, and streaming media vision system are the targets of these. The X9 cockpit controller, the V9 ADAS and autonomous driving processor, and the G9 multi-domain networked vehicle gateway and security chip are already popular SemiDrive chips. The E3 series is a complement to these chips.
- With a growth in advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) technology, such as lane departure warning, automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot detection systems, firms are developing the latest power memory products. For instance, in February 2021, Micron Technology, Inc. reported that it has begun sampling the industry's first automotive low-power DDR5 DRAM (LPDDR5) memory that is hardware-evaluated to meet the most stringent Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL), ASIL D. The solution is based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 standard and is a component of Micron's new line of memory and storage devices aimed at the automotive functional safety market.
- In November 2021, FORESEE provided Automotive Memory Chips to Advance Automotive Intelligence R&D. Longsys has been rapidly growing its business in the market for vehicle storage. Its in-vehicle storage solutions can be used in various situations, including high-speed rail systems, public transit, and factory- and aftermarket-installed autos. AEC-Q100 certification has been gained by Automotive eMMC, a product created by FORESEE, a technological storage brand of Longsys. AEC-Q100 is a verification standard established by the American Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) in 2020. This standard guarantees higher-quality electronic components and the packaged ICs in the standard series have undergone this verification.
- Automotive microcontrollers increasingly use high-performance RISC CPUs rather than older CISC chips. The ability to execute an instruction in a single clock cycle and the fact that RISC processors do not employ microcode to decode instructions but are hardwired using Mask PROM and EPROM. Mask PROM and EPROM for program storage are the common microcontroller memory types established in automotive systems. But the current trend of Flash EEPROM is gradually becoming more affordable, it will eventually replace the Mask PROM and PROM and become the preferred memory solution.
