On Feb. 27, MIPI Alliance announced a battery interface for mobile devices which improves consumer safety, battery performance, lessens the battery’s environmental impact. The robust, scalable and cost efficient single-wire communication interface is the first standard to address these key issues. Mobile device users can now look for smart batteries with longer lifetime, safe, environmentally-friendly battery chemistry as well as increased safety through temperature monitoring and decreased risk of counterfeit products. Plus, members of the mobile device ecosystem – OEMs, chipset suppliers, battery slave IC suppliers and battery pack manufacturers – will benefit from a commonly accepted battery interface that saves design and manufacturing complexity, reduces chipset space and improves cost margins.  

You can learn more information from the data sheet, whitepaper, Mobile World Congress presentation and Frequently Asked Questions - see below.

In addition, we are pleased to offer several materials in Japanese, available below.
