Reference designs provide a kind of blueprint that other manufacturers can use to build products. Reference designs have become a valuable part of a product designer's tool set for the creation of new products. Using proven designs in a modular context allows sophisticated electronic products to be completed quickly and at reduced cost. Reference designs help minimize development challenges, improve deployment confidence and reduce time-to-market with a completely integrated development environment.

In today's fast-moving marketplace, time-to-market often determines a product's success, particularly in rapidly growing applications. Mistral's reference designs speed up a manufacturer's new product development and time-to-market. Our reference designs encompass everything a developer needs to jump-start product development, thereby expediting the development of complete, cost-effective solutions that can be brought to market much more quickly. Our designs address market segments ranging from personal devices, home entertainment, security & surveillance, hospital applications, telematics & infotainment.

Customers can also request the level of design service required and have the design adapted to suit their specifications, to save time and costs. Mistral can incorporate the necessary architecture, algorithm and software changes in the design to adapt it to specific customer applications. By streamlining the development process Mistral helps customers to focus on their business critical functions and value-added measures.
