Maxim and Intel collaborating on MIDs
Maxim Integrated Products is to collaborate with Intel on the development of integrated power management and multimedia solutions for Intel based Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). Maxim will provide mixed signal ics that enable longer battery life and improve multimedia experience.
“Maxim is well poised to support Intel’s next generation needs, claimed Vijay Ullal, the company’s group president. “We have the necessary building blocks and components to enable Intel based MIDs to offer significantly longer battery life and provide a richer multimedia experience than available today. Going forward, we plan to optimise those elements to fit in next generation MIDs.”
Pankaj Kedia, director of global ecosystem programs for Intel’s Ultra Mobility Group, added: “Intel’s innovation in low power technologies, combined with Maxim’s experience and capabilities in mixed signal design, will enable device makers to bring MIDs in ever smaller form factors with longer battery life.”
