California Micro Devices Presents ASIP(TM) Solutions for Flat Panel Displays at SID 2006

 Highly Integrated ESD and EMI Solutions for High Definition Flat Panel TVs
                        and Mobile Handset Displays

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro
Devices (Nasdaq: CAMD), a leading supplier of application specific analog
semiconductor products for mobile handsets, personal computers and digital
consumer electronics, will be showcasing its popular Application Specific
Integrated Passive(TM) (ASIP(TM)) solutions for digital television, flat
panel monitor and mobile handset applications at the Society for
Information Display 2006 International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition in
San Francisco, California from June 6 through 8.
    CMD Presenting at SID Exhibitors' Forum
    Olivier Brecheteau, Director of Marketing for Mobile Products will be
presenting at the SID Exhibitors' Forum on Wednesday, June 7th at 9:00 AM.
His presentation will focus on CMD's unique Praetorian(TM) EMI filter
technology.
    Designed Into Leading Digital Consumer Electronics and Mobile
Applications
    California Micro Devices' ASIP(TM) solutions are designed into a broad
range of leading digital flat panel TVs, flat panel monitors and mobile
handsets, providing the industry's highest levels of electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
filtering, along with other functions such as signal termination and level
shifting.
    MediaGuard(TM) HDMI Port Protection for Digital TV
    The CM2020 and CM2021 MediaGuard(TM) HDMI port protectors provide a
complete port protection and signal integrity solution in a single
integrated chip. Optimized for high speed layout on low-cost boards,
including thin dielectric and 2-layer boards, these devices integrate ESD
protection, backdrive protection, overcurrent protection and voltage level
translation. They are designed to support the latest HDMI features
including greater than 1.65 Gbps data rates, multiple port systems,
extended cable lengths and CEC support.
    PhotonIC(TM) LED Drivers for Wireless Handsets
    CMD will be displaying its newest capabilities in LED drivers for
mobile phones. As advanced multimedia features become increasingly
accepted, brighter displays and high intensity camera flash become key
requirements. CMD's PhotonIC(TM) product offering, including charge pump
and inductor boost architectures, provides power efficiency, cost
effectiveness and maximum space savings. Its innovative FlexBoost(TM)
technology supplies asymmetric voltage outputs, providing significant power
savings for the lighting subsystem.
    Praetorian(TM) EMI Filters for Wireless Handsets
    Praetorian(TM) 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(TM) process technology allows the integration of spiral
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.
    Other Booth Highlights
    Other major applications that California Micro Devices will be
presenting include:
     --   ESD solutions featuring the PicoGuard(TM) CM1213 family of ESD diode
          arrays, providing up to 8 channels of 8kV contact ESD protection in
          a single package, with only 1pF of capacitance -- the industry's
          lowest capacitance diode arrays for DVI, HDMI, USB, serial ATA and
          IEEE 1394 ports.
     --   Centurion(TM) EMI filters for wireless handset high speed color LCD
          interfaces. California Micro Devices' proprietary Centurion(TM)
          advanced zener process technology provides enhanced EMI filtering
          performance, greater ESD protection and dramatically lower
          capacitance levels than traditional solutions.
