LATEST TRENDS

Rising Initiatives for Digital Transformation and Integration with Digital Signal Processing is a Lightning Trend Enriching the Market Growth

Large volumes of data must be gathered and processed from a range of sources, including as industrial equipment, sensors, and Internet of Things devices, as part of digital transformation projects. For all of this data to be precisely and effectively captured and digitized, data converters are essential. Data converters facilitate real-time data transmission by enabling the flow of information across devices, networks, and cloud-based systems.

Real-time signal processing, including filtering, modulation, and error correction, can be carried out by the data converter itself thanks to integrated DSP. By processing signals of interest selectively and altering clock rates and voltage levels in response to workload, integrated DSP may improve power usage and help the data converter save more energy. DSP-enabled data converters may also pre-process data locally before to transmission in edge computing and Internet of Things applications, which lowers latency and bandwidth consumption while enhancing data privacy. Thus, throughout the projected period, the market will rise as a result of rising DSP integration in data converters.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Developments in Telecommunication Infrastructure to Account for a Significant Market Share

Because of the introduction of 4G and the impending 5G communication, the telecommunication infrastructure is driving market expansion. While adhering to strict performance, functionality, and quality of service criteria, manufacturers of wireless infrastructure, particularly 4G and 5G, are continuously decreasing the size and cost of newly installed wireless infrastructure. The data conversion block plays a crucial role in the architecture of wireless infrastructure. The essential component that digitizes the incoming intermediate frequency (IF) signal and sends the digital data to the digital down converter is the analog-to-digital converter, or ADC. It is possible to meet the 5G solution's high bandwidth requirements by transferring frequency translation and filtering from the analog to the digital domain. This wave of digitization includes two RF converters: the mixed-signal AD9081/AD9082 RF converters introduced by analog devices.

Growing Utilization in the Automotive Sector to Accelerate the Market Growth

The data converters' wireless transceivers allow for connectivity with other cars and stationary networks. The goal of many large automakers is to expand their presence in the country. For example, General Motors Co. and its suppliers will invest a total of $500 million in Argentina operations through 2019 to get ready for the manufacturing of autonomous vehicles with sophisticated standards by 2022. Nowadays, automakers are building cars with technologies like voice-activated controls, Bluetooth connectivity for smartphone connectivity, CD players, and radar distance control in front of the car. various latest technologies have driven market development since data converters are widely used for various applications in the automotive sector. Additionally, Fiat Chrysler intends to spend $500 million in a facility in Argentina that will produce cutting-edge cars.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Presence of Noise and Interference to Pose Challenge and Deprive the Market Growth

Errors and inconsistencies in the transformed digital data might be caused by noise and interference. It is crucial to preserve signal integrity during the conversion process, especially for high-precision applications. Because number representation is discrete, quantization noise happens. Temperature variations can also have an impact on the operation of data converters, resulting in thermal noise and drift. Techniques for compensation and heat control are required. Furthermore, in order to address mistakes that result in noise over time and during variations in operating circumstances, data converters could require calibration and compensating procedures. Scalability can be hampered and resources expended when tailoring data conversion systems to particular needs for noise and interference. Thus, over the projected period, the market's expansion would be hindered by the noise and interference problems in data converters. As a result, the above factors are expected to impede the data converter market growth under consideration throughout the projected timeframe.
