Power Management in Consumer Electronics
Semiconductor Markets for Mobile Phones and other Portable Devices
This study provides an in-depth examination of power management for portable devices such as cellphones, MP3 players, digital cameras, camcorders, portable video players, gaming devices and PDAs. It describes geographic and ASP trends in some of the end markets, and identifies the vendors that play in this space, as well as analyzing some of the industry consolidations that have taken place in the last few years.
The functions and feature sets of portable devices -- especially cellphones -- are examined in detail and mapped to ensuing changes in the power management section. The study explains the differences in power management architectures and strategies between mobile phones and other portable devices. It details the technological progression in this component, in terms of functions, circuits and process technologies. It also explains why the power management section is critical to reducing power consumption in battery-operated mobile devices.
