Vendor Will Provide Chips for Mobile Internet Devices

Maxim Integrated Products has entered into a collaboration with Intel to develop highly 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 a rich multimedia experience for consumers.

”Mobile internet devices represent an emerging and exciting growth segment that can enable consumers to enjoy the best Internet experience in their pockets,” says Pankaj Kedia, director of global ecosystem programs for Intel's Ultra Mobility Group. “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.”
