PISMO Advisory Council Launched to Define External Memory Interface Standard

A group of leading semiconductor companies today announced the launch of the PISMO™ Advisory Council, the industry’s first organization focused on streamlining system-level memory validation and test. The group will define a single, board-level interface standard that allows designers to use a variety of memory devices on development platforms from multiple vendors in a plug-and-play fashion. The new PISMO (Platform Independent Storage Module) standard is expected to enable the more rapid deployment of increasingly powerful and affordable mobile telecommunications, computing and consumer products.
