[October 22, 2008] NEC Demos Moorestown Power Management IC Solution Tweet (Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NEC Electronics presented a live demonstration of its power management IC (PMIC) solution for the Intel Moorestown mobile internet device (MID) platform at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) at the Taipei International Convention Center in Taipei, Taiwan. Developed in conjunction with Intel, NEC stated that its PMIC solution combines power management, logic, and audio and voice communications functions to maximize battery life, support high levels of integration and minimize board space for Internet and cellular network access, multimedia playback, navigation, gaming, social networking and other Web 2.0 applications. "NEC Electronics has applied its strong technical expertise in power management and deep system-level knowledge of mobile devices to the development of a highly integrated PMIC solution for Intel-based next generation Mobile Internet Devices," said Tsutomu Aoki, general manager, Power Management Devices Division, NEC Electronics. "In showcasing working silicon, we demonstrate to our customers that we are ready to help them develop next-generation consumer devices today." "Mobile Internet Devices enable a great Internet experience - with long battery life in increasingly pocketable devices," said Pankaj Kedia, director of Global Ecosystem Programs in the Ultra Mobility Group at Intel. "MIDs based on Intel's low power technologies, combined with NEC Electronics' power management ICs, will make it easier for our customers to design and bring to market increasingly smaller form factors with longer battery life." NEC Electronics specializes in semiconductor products encompassing advanced technology solutions for the high-end computing and broadband networking markets, system solutions for the mobile handset, PC peripheral, automotive and digital consumer markets, and multi-market solutions for a wide range of customer applications.
