Graphin and Mixel to Collaborate in Producing 'Golden M-PHY' IC to Be Used in Graphin's Evaluation Systems

SAN JOSE, California, February 15, 2010 - Mixel Inc., the leader in mobile mixed-signal intellectual property (IP),
and Graphin Co., Ltd., a rapidly emerging leader for image sensor evaluation
suites, announced on February 15 that Graphin will license the Mixel M-PHY IP
and that the two companies will collaborate to produce a "Golden M-PHY" IC to
be used in Graphin's evaluation systems.

Mixel will support Graphin's plans to build an M-PHY evaluation system,
and the two companies will collaborate in developing and supporting a vibrant
MlPl ecosystem. Mixel and Graphin plan to capitalize on their leadership
positions in the D-PHY IP and evaluation system markets, respectively, and
extend those leadership positions into the M-PHY marketplace, which is now in
its infancy.

Mixel is leveraging its Silicon Proven 5Gbps technology used in the
MXL-SRDS-4254 to rapidly make the "Golden M-PHY" IC available to Graphin and
its other customers. "We considered many options before choosing Mixel as our
M-PHY partner. Mixel's mobile mixed-signal IP leadership and silicon-proven
technology were critical factors in our decision," said Tomoaki Kurosawa,
President of Graphin. "We are confident that this effort will play a key role
in accelerating the adoption of MIPI as the next generation mobile interface,
and will help Graphin and Mixel to further cement our leadership positions,"
he added.

"We are delighted that Graphin, the premier image sensor evaluation
company, has chosen Mixel as its M-PHY partner. We are looking forward to
working closely with Graphin to provide our end customers with the best
possible MIPI PHY and evaluation solutions," said Ashraf Takla, CEO of Mixel.
"A unique attribute of the MIPI PHY standard is the many options that it
supports. In most of the target applications, power, area, and total cost are
all parameters of paramount importance. The M-PHY standard allows for many
options that enable an optimized shrink-wrapped solution for many different
applications by using the right mix of options. The permutations are huge,
and a one-size-fits-all approach will not do. This kind of marketplace plays
to Mixel's strengths, namely being able to provide silicon-proven yet
customizable, high quality differentiated IP at reasonable cost," he added.
