PISMO™ is the Platform Independent Storage Module Standard that is run by an advisory council made up by Spansion, ARM, NanoAmp, SMedia, Spreadtrum, Toshiba, Analog Devices, Broadcom, Cypress, M Systems and Micron Technology, Inc. The goal of PISMO™ is to enable the more rapid deployment of increasingly powerful and reasonable mobile telecommunications, computer, and consumer products.

"The PISMO modules will be stackable and supported by tools that provide easy access to signals for performing in-depth analysis. These features and more make PISMO™ memory modules ideal for validating and prototyping combinations of memory devices with a variety of host controllers."
