What’s in store for 2023? Michel Villemain shares his vision with EDA Café

In this article “2023: An Initial Rough Ride with A Long-term Vision of Smooth Sailing,” Michel Villemain shares his viewpoint regarding areas where microelectronics will play an important role for innovation in the industrial and medical markets:

• Remote diagnostics and point-of-care products – our first IVD ASIC platform solution for infectious disease will help to materialize our customers’ vision of lab-in-the-palm smartphones.

• Biosensors – we have invested in the development of analog mixed-signal design IP.

• Connectivity for the industrial internet of things (IIoT) –low power consumption and energy harvesting are critical.

• Cobots in factories for automation, process control, and preventive maintenance – our analog front-end for optoelectronics coupled with an environmental sensor interface is directly playing into those use cases.

• Re-shoring will continue to advance – although realization will take time (2030 horizon).

• Finally, we are anticipating increased focus on securing electronics and semiconductor products, that’s why we’ll continue to leverage our EAL 6 infrastructure.

“In summary, while some contraction in 2023 will take place, I expect it will be short, as companies will continue to invest in innovative new products that improve the world we live in, and semiconductor technology is a necessity to make these products a reality.”
