2 Presentation Agenda The Purpose of Mobius Problems with Existing Implementations The Mobius’ Solution Management Team Market Strengths and Challenges Funding Sought Why Invest? AgendaPurposeProblemsSolutionTeamMarketS & CFundingWhy?

3 The Purpose of Mobius Mobius Integrated Systems Utilizes Emerging and Available Technology to Deliver True System-On-A-Chip (TSoC) Solutions to the Embedded Systems Market The Engine Control Module (ECM) is an example of an embedded system: Inside the engine a sensor detects the fuel-to-air ratio and transmits the signal to the ECM so the fuel injection can be adjusted accordingly What is an embedded system? AgendaPurposeProblemsSolutionTeamMarketS & CFundingWhy?

4 Problems with Implementation So what’s the problem?  Packaging costs high  Power too high  Size too large  Engineering resources spent designing board  Functionality low  Applications limited Antenna Microprocessor Frequency Reference Sensor/Actuator Interface Sensor Actuator Quartz Crystal Resonator (Frequency Reference) Sensor/Actuator Interface Wireless Interface Board Level Implementation Microprocessor Sensors/Actuators Wireless Interface AgendaPurposeProblemsSolutionTeamMarketS & CFundingWhy?

5 The Mobius Solution True System-on-a-Chip Implementation (TSoC) Mobius Antenna Microprocessor Wireless Interface Frequency Reference Sensor/Actuator Interface Sensor Actuator Quartz Crystal Resonator (Frequency Reference) Sensor/Actuator Interface Wireless Interface Board Level Implementation Microprocessor Sensors/Actuators AgendaPurposeProblemsSolutionTeamMarketS & CFundingWhy?

6 Realizing The Mobius’ Solution TSoC Implementation Packaging costs reduced: Fewer Circuits Power reduced: Less Input/Output Size Reduced: Fewer Circuits, Fewer Pins Fewer Engineering Resources: Simpler System Increased Reliability: Longer Operating Life Possibilities for increased functionality Possibilities for new applications The MS-8 prototype developed at The University of Michigan AgendaPurposeProblemsSolutionTeamMarketS & CFundingWhy?

7 Realizing The Mobius’ Solution How is it Done? Utilizing emerging technology: MEMS Integrating existing technology: RF + Analog + Digital New application in existing technology: Si Wireless Support Emerging Standards: Bluetooth Vision: SoC solutions require competency in all technologies No Intel of Microsystems Exists: Si RF, SOI, MEMS, etc. Who will integrate these technologies? Recognizing MEMS as an enabling technology: Prototype MEMS resonators developed at The University of Michigan AgendaPurposeProblemsSolutionTeamMarketS & CFundingWhy?
