Leading Chinese VCD/DVD IC Design Houses' Development Strategies

Abstract

Chinese IC design houses such as Silan Microelectronics, Semico, ASIC Micro-electronics, Silicore Technology, SI-Power Micro-electronics and State Microelectronics expanded into the VCD/DVD IC market at a relatively early stage, starting from the motor driver segment. However, segments such as servo control chipsets and MPEG decoders are dominated by Taiwanese, European and US companies such as MTK, Zoran, Sunplus and ESS. In 2006, Silan moved into the DVD SoC field after acquiring patents from ESS, and has been working in close collaboration with Chinese DVD player manufacturers. This report will analyze the development of leading Chinese VCD/DVD design houses.
