                             Congress

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arasan Chip Systems,
Inc. ("Arasan"), a leading provider of Total IP Solutions, announced
that it is showcasing its comprehensive MIPI IP portfolio in the
MIPI(R) Alliance Zone at the 2010 Mobile World Congress being held
between February 15-18 in Barcelona, Spain.

As a long standing Contributor member in the MIPI(R) Alliance, Arasan
has the most comprehensive portfolio of MIPI IP available in the market
today. Its portfolio includes UniProSM, CSI, DSI, HSI, SLIMbus(R) and
DigRFSM interface IP. Extending its leadership in MIPI controllers,
Arasan has also developed the D-PHY IP -- available on multiple process
nodes.

MIPI interfaces are optimized for the physically constrained mobile and
hand-held device form-factor by being low power and low pin count
interfaces. Yet these interfaces can scale to meet the most demanding
inter-chip media transfers. With increasing time-to-market and cost
pressures, mobile platform designers are relying on MIPI interfaces to
build a standardized interconnect-based system platform. Chip designers
for mobile platforms in turn, demand that their IP provider supply all
of the components needed to successfully integrate MIPI.

"Our early involvement with the MIPI(R) Alliance and leading adopters
of MIPI gives us an un-paralleled depth of expertise and IP quality
edge which enables customers to succeed with their design," said Ram
Gopalan, Senior Director of Marketing at Arasan. "Customers rely on our
Interactive Technology Consulting services to guide their early SoC
architectural exploration culminating in the successful integration of
the MIPI interface."

As the MIPI Alliance continues to expand the scope of its interfaces,
Arasan is committed to enabling this ecosystem by being the first to
market with IP cores compliant with new interface standards.

Arasan provides all of the supporting collateral enabling the rapid
integration of MIPI interfaces into chipsets and application
processors. This Total IP Solution for MIPI IP consists of RTL IP, PHY
IP, verification IP, software stacks, Hardware Platforms for
development and validation -- all backed by our World-class customer
support.
