ZMDI contributes to mobile sensor specification

The MIPI Alliance is an international organisation collaborating to develop interface specifications for mobile and mobile-influenced industries.The new specification is optimised to improve performance and power efficiency for mobile, mobile-influenced and embedded-systems applications. It was developed with the participation of vendors from across the sensor and mobile markets. I3CSM addresses the challenges of interfacing with multiple sensors in exciting new applications in a rapidly expanding market, especially the handset market, which has typically been constrained by size limitations, performance demands and cost barriers. One of the many advantages of I3CSM is a power consumption reduction that can result in longer battery life, which is essential to mobile products, and minimal component count, which can enable smaller devices.

Tim White, ZMDI System Architect, was one of the members who proposed the I3CSM name. He noted that the new specification offers a significant improvement in terms of performance, energy-efficiency and fulfilment of requirements for both present and future mobile sensing applications across multiple markets due to its collaborative development.

David Simpson, Business Development Manager, Mobile Sensing, ZMDI, commented “Partnering with the MIPI Alliance allows ZMDI to share its experience and support the standardisation of sensor solutions that provide systems-level improvements for ZMDI’s customers. We are proud of the association with the MIPI Alliance and look forward to our continued and active involvement in the important contributions they make to the industry.”
