Electronics Industry Award MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 29
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIPS), a
leading provider of industry-standard architectures, processors and
analog IP for digital consumer, home networking, wireless,
communications and business applications, today announced an
expansion of its HDMI IP portfolio, with the industry's first 45nm
IP cores (Controller + PHY), as well as 90nm IP cores in silicon.
The company also announced that its 65nm HDMI IP is now
silicon-proven, and was recently named as a finalist for Embedded
System Product of the Year in the annual Elektra European
Electronics Industry Awards. HDMI has emerged as the dominant
digital interface for a wide array of consumer electronics,
representing the de facto standard for creating high-bandwidth,
streamlined connections between digital devices. According to
technology market research firm iSuppli Corporation, HDMI-enabled
equipment will grow to 772.8 million units in 2012, rising at a
compound annual growth rate of 32 percent from 193 million units in
2007. "Following our launch earlier this year of the world's first
HDMI IP cores in 65nm, we have already licensed the cores to
several customers, and the IP will soon go into production, clearly
demonstrating how HDMI IP can speed time-to-market," said Luis
Laranjeira, director of Embedded Peripherals and Digital IP, Analog
Business Group, MIPS Technologies. "For future products, we can
easily port our IP to other foundries, offering customers
flexibility of choice. Our impressive track record in
first-time-right porting, along with excellent silicon results,
further decrease risk for our customers." MIPS Technologies' HDMI
interface IP (Controller + PHY) is available in the world's major
foundries for both transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) functions. MIPS'
HDMI IP cores now support all video modes compliant to CEA-861-D,
as well as the I2S and S/PDIF digital audio formats. MIPS
