ON Semiconductor has been accepted as a Contributor Member of the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Alliance.

The company will participate as a member of the System Power Management Investigation Group.

The alliance is a not-for-profit consortium that has as its goal the definition and promotion of open standard specifications for mobile application processor interfaces.

These open standards are intended to make implementation of hardware and software easier and facilitate reuse across mobile devices, accelerating time-to-market.

"We are very pleased to be a member of the MIPI Alliance", said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor President and CEO.

"The addition of features such as cameras, enhanced audio and Internet capabilities continues to increase the demands placed on the power management systems of portable devices.

ON Semiconductor's extensive experience in the mobile phone and portable computing markets makes us an ideal partner to contribute solutions knowledge that supports the MIPI Alliance's goals of open architectures and hardware interoperability.

We look forward to being an active participant in the MIPI Alliance".

Andy Khayat, ON Semiconductor Marketing Director for Portable Applications, said: "ON's decision to join the MIPI Alliance was in part based on the belief that open industry standards will be a dominant force that shapes the mobile industry business environment over the next few years.

We intend to steer our high-performance portable products road maps to comply with MIPI Alliance standards so that our customers can take full advantage of shorter development cycles and advanced system features".
