KAWASAKI, Japan & SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Targeting mobile device designers with low-power solutions, NEC Electronics Corporation today announced it will showcase its power management technologies as a silver-level sponsor at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) Shanghai 2008, April 2-3, at the Shanghai International Convention Center. Executives will be on hand to discuss NEC Electronics' power management integrated circuit (PMIC) solutions to support Intel-based mobile Internet devices (MIDs), as well as its robust lineup of power MOSFETs optimized for a variety of portable consumer electronics.

NEC Electronics' Minoru Matsuda, general manager of the Power Management Devices Division, also will address "Power Management for Mobile Devices" during his presentation on Thursday, April 3, at 1:00 p.m. at room 5D and 5E.

Developed in conjunction with Intel, the NEC Electronics PMIC solution will combine power management, logic, audio and communications functions to maximize battery life, support high levels of integration and minimize board space. MIDs provide the best of the Internet experience in your pocket and will allow consumers to stay in touch with family and friends, be entertained, stay informed and be productive on the go.

NEC Electronics has strong experience developing highly integrated PMICs for customers in mobile markets for more than 15 years. Developed in one of the most advanced process nodes available, the world-class PMIC offering has already proven successful for NEC Electronics Corporation. The company was one of the top PMIC suppliers in Japan for fiscal year 2006, earning approximately US$62 million in PMIC sales revenue.

NEC Electronics also offers a wide range of discrete semiconductor devices, including low-voltage power MOSFETs, diodes and low-dropout voltage regulators to drive high-power signals, control high voltages and currents, regulate power-supply voltages and prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
