Background:

 

The company incorporate on January 3, 2001, specializes in signal processing applications in media processing and communications covering

·         Audio-video systems

·         Voice and Video over internet protocol

·         Wireless LAN

·         Voice bank modems

 

The solutions provided by the company cover the entire range string with core signal processing intellectual property (IP) in the form of algorithms, embedded software or RTL, complemented by system software, reference boards and finally complete DSP systems or reference solutions.

 

The company earns revenue through one time licensing fee, software services, royalty or a combination of these. The company has three fully owned subsidiaries, namely Ittiam Semiconductor Private Limited, engaged in semiconductor chip designing. Ittiam Systems Inc, USA and Ittiam Systems SARL, Europe providing marketing services to the company.

 

During the year, the company has opened a branch office in Japan for providing marketing services to the company in Japan and the surrounding regions.

 

Market Environment

 

The financial year 2009-10 continued to be tough and challenging, though chip shipments started improving month on month from 2010 whjch should augur well in general for the semiconductor and DSP technology companies in 2010-1 1.

 

Will Strauss, President of Forward Concepts reiterates that DSP technology is required for all digital wireless, from basic personal navigation devices (PNDs) to advanced 4G cellular, and all digital muttimedja, from lowly MP3 players to rich-content personal media players and HDTV receivers.

 

The biggest market for DSP silicon is in "embedded" SoCs that are in hundreds of products, generally not programmable by the user and known as "what they are" or "what they do", as MP3 player chips, GPS receivers, disk drive controllers, set top box transcoders, MPEG decoders, video game audio chips, IF phone chips, etc. with several of these running on embedded lttiam Intellectual Property.

 

DSP technology has become pervasive in the semiconductor industry and is, in fact, the driver for the entire semiconductor industry. In this new era of always-connected access to the Internet and multimedia, DSP is the underlying technology.

 

The worldwide DSP silicon market is forecast to grow at a 10+% rate over the 5 years from 2010 through 2014 with some segments, such as wireless and consumer electronics expected to grow at a much higher pace.

 

Smartphones continue to be the bright spot, between Smartphones and Netbooks is the largely untapped world of Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), Ittiam has gained an entry into the Smart Phone market segment through its video software on TI OMAP3 platform.

 

Smartphone shipments worldwide are projected to grow, with the economy on the mend in 2010. In 2009, the Smartphone market defied the global recession reaching USD $ 67 billion dollars and 171 million units, registering an 18% YoY growth. The Smartphone market is forecast to continue demonstrating strong growth and is forecast to reach 496 million units in 2014 at a 24% compound annual growth rate.

 

2009 was the year of Smartphone applications, all major vendors have followed suit with larger OEMs with their own initiatives, most major OEMs moving towards an integrated hardware, OIS, applications and services strategy.

 

On the device front, there is a shifting emphasis towards lower-cost Smartphones in line with the projected growth of emerging countries. As a result, entry-level and mid-range categories will experience significantly higher growth in unit shipments as compared to the higher-end devices popular in operator-subsidized regions. Increasing competition in higher-end devices is also  driving above average shipments to developed regions.

 

Though total chip shipments for 2009 were down some 10% following a lackluster 2008 and a truly miserable Q4108 and Q1/09 market drop, the good news is that chip shipments continue to improve every month, with consensus growth estimates for 2010 just north of 20% and venture capitalists beginning to invest again.

 

Chip shipments for all major categories improved in 2010 including basebands, RF transceivers, and application processors along with ancillary chips like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, FM, image sensors, etc., and are forecast to do well, up to 2014.

 

Overall the market for DSP IP continues to grow steadily providing reasonable growth opportunities for Ittiam, both near term as well as long term.

 

Results of Operations

 

The financial year ended March 31, 201 0 marked the ninth year of operations for the Company. Being a product focused company, product development progressed at a quick pace and a wide range of products were added during the year. The Company was well positioned and continued to play and win in some of the key markets that the technology industry; Convergence in Portable Media - Auto Infotainment - PND, Video Communication Centric Applications, Hi-Definition Video Processing, Smartphones, Streaming Applications in Medical / Security I In-Transport Entertainment and Bandwidth Leap through 802.11 n.

 

At the same time, the Company remained very cautious, involving various factors that were beyond its direct control: unprecedented fluctuations in the Euro, continuing US recession fears and its worldwide impact, longer cycle times to close technology licensing and delays in new product starts by customers.

 

The Company continued to strengthen its customer base comprising Electronic OEMs, DSP Semiconductor Companies and SoC (System on Silicon) chipset companies, several of these being Fortune 500 companies. There were 88(119) design wins and 35 new customer engagements during the year, most of them of high value and quality pedigree customer wins from across the world; also several of these were repeat wins from existing customers.

Ittiam Systems Unveils its Audio Processing Software for the ARM Cortex-M4 Processor

 

23.02.2010

 

Broad Set of Audio Codecs and Algorithms for the latest ARM Cortex-M Processor

 

Bangalore. February 23, 2010

 

Ittiam today announced the availability of audio codecs and post-processing algorithms for the newly released ARM® Cortex M4 processor.

 

The ARM Cortex-M4 processor is the most efficient processor of the Cortex-M series for digital signal control applications and has been designed to answer the needs of the motor control, automotive, power management, industrial automation and embedded audio markets.

 

Thanks to its compatibility with the Cortex-M processor series, the existing codec offering from Ittiam on the Cortex-M3 processor is fully functional out-of-the-box with a 10 percent performance improvement on the Cortex-M4 processor. Additionally, Ittiam audio codecs have been fully optimized to take advantage of the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) unit and enhanced DSP instructions of the Cortex-M4 processor, enabling a 2 times performance gain over the Cortex-M3 processor implementations.

 

Ittiams product offering for the Cortex-M4 processor includes a fully optimized implementation of MP3 and WMA decoders, with a roadmap for additional portable and high definition audio codecs later this year. These codecs are complemented by a set of audio effects and acoustic processing algorithms to provide to the end user a rich listening experience.

 

"The Cortex-M4 processor is well suited for audio processing," stated Shantanu Jha, Vice President Media Processing at Ittiam Systems. "Advanced features like the single cycle MAC, DSP instructions with SIMD capability enable efficient audio signal processing on this MCU core. Combining the microcontroller and signal processing features at low power, the Cortex-M4 processor is an attractive solution for the embedded market."

 

"The Cortex-M4 processor addresses a wide variety of digital signal control markets and embedded audio is one of the most challenging in terms of signal processing requirements," said Shyam Sadasivan, Product Manager for the Cortex-M4 processor at ARM. "Ittiams expertise on the Cortex-M processor family has enabled us to address these requirements through a combination of leading processor architecture and highly optimized software that will help our customers get products to market faster."
