China(mainland) – Vimicro Int’l Corp. will source its analog and mixed-signal IP and subsystem requirements from MIPS Technologies Inc., who has developed a new power management IP solution. The two companies have collaborated in integrating the power management IP solution into Vimicro's design for optimized performance, cost and power consumption.

"Vimicro's success in the multimedia signal processing business is directly related to our ability to rapidly bring differentiated designs to market," said Dr. Mike Yu, vice president of Vimicro. "We selected MIPS Technologies as our supplier of analog and mixed-signal IP for its proven record in rapidly and efficiently meeting our needs for high-quality IP."

"Some semiconductor IP companies deliver cores, and then leave customers with the difficult task of design integration," said Nuno Ramalho, vice president of Audio and Power Solutions, MIPS Technologies' Analog Business Group. "We stake our reputation on providing results for our customers by striving for 'first-time-right' design success, and we back this with the efforts necessary to achieve it. We improve on the usual IP supplier/customer relationship by offering advantages like the Analog IP Foundry and our Integration-to-Production Program. Our successful collaboration with Vimicro demonstrates our dedication."
