California Micro Devices Presents Display Electronics Solutions at SID's Display Week 2008
  Display Controllers for MDDI and MIPI High Speed Serial Interfaces to be
                                Highlighted

    LOS ANGELES, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices
(Nasdaq: CAMD) will be showcasing its MDDI and MIPI client solutions for
high speed serial interface display interfaces in mobile handsets at SID's
Display Week 2008 in Los Angeles from May 20 through 22. The Company will
also showcase a number of new protection technologies for LCD TV and
handset display interfaces. These include XtremeESD(TM) low capacitance
electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection solutions and MediaGuard(TM) port
protection for HDMI(TM) 1.3 digital TV as well as DisplayPort(TM) for PC
applications and Praetorian(R) EMI filters for mobile display interfaces.
Two CMD product presentations will be featured in the Exhibitors' Forum on
Tuesday, May 20, starting at 2:45 PM.

    Display Controllers for High Speed Serial Interfaces in Mobile Handset
Displays

    CMD's serial interface display controllers are designed for wireless
handsets that utilize the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) and Mobile Industry Processor
Interface (MIPI) serial interface display standards. The CM5100 features a
fully compliant, MDDI based serial client featuring an integrated display
controller with embedded memory that supports primary thin film transistor
(TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with resolutions up to QVGA (320x240)
and secondary displays. CMD will also be presenting a unique MDDI-to-MIPI
serial interface bridge architecture (see separate release) and its future
MIPI product plans. A selection of the latest multimedia handsets featuring
CMD's display controllers will be on display.

    XtremeESD ESD Protection Arrays for Digital Video

    Low capacitance, low profile ESD protection arrays including new
PicoGuardXP(TM) and PicoGuard XS(TM) products from the recently announced
XtremeESD family will be showcased. XtremeESD products are ideal for
protection of high speed serial interfaces in digital TVs and LCD display
monitors such as MDDI, MIPI or USB2.0 High-Speed. Layout and placement
flexibility are offered thanks to multiple channel configurations. Compact
footprints, low profile and low cost characterize this family of devices.
The just-announced CM1234 (see separate release) is the second PicoGuard XS
product in the XtremeESD family to be introduced, offering ESD protection
to IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (plus-or-minus)20kV air discharge and 15kV contact
discharge.

    Praetorian EMI Filters for Mobile Applications

    Praetorian EMI filter arrays are designed for the latest multimedia
enabled wireless handsets with high data rates between the baseband
processor and high resolution displays and cameras. Groundbreaking
Praetorian process technology allows the integration of inductors with
capacitors and ESD protection diodes in a single chip design, providing
superior EMI filtering, high cutoff frequencies, minimal insertion loss,
sharp rolloff and greater levels of attenuation at high frequencies.

    CMD's portfolio of EMI filters for high bandwidth applications in
mobile handsets has been expanded to include a new Praetorian II family of
inductor-capacitor (LC) filters. These devices allow mobile handset
designers to address many higher bandwidth data interfaces that cannot be
served by lower cost resistor-capacitor (RC) based filters, at a lower
price point than its industry leading Praetorian I filters.
