California Micro Devices Presents Display Electronic Solutions at SID Mobile Displays Conference
Display Controller for High Speed Serial Interfaces, WLED Drivers and EMI Filters


SAN DIEGO, Calif., -- Oct. 03, 2006 -- 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 new dual display and audio controller, Application Specific Integrated Passive™ (ASIP™) and mixed signal solutions for mobile handset applications at the Society for Information Display Mobile Displays Conference in San Diego, California on October 4th and 5th.

CMD Presenting in Two Sessions
Kyle Baker, vice president, marketing, will be presenting CMD’s newly announced serial interface display controller (see separate release) during Session II, on Wednesday, October 4th at 11:05 AM. Olivier Brecheteau, director of marketing for mobile products, will be presenting CMD’s unique FlexBoost™ WLED driver technology in Session VII on Thursday, October 5th at 2:50 PM. Both presenters will be taking part in the ensuing panel discussions.

Display Controller for High Speed Serial Interfaces
CMD’s new dual display and audio controller is designed for wireless handsets that use a high speed interface to the display. The CM5100 features a fully compliant, MDDI based serial client, 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 with up to QCIF+ (176x220) resolution. The CM5100’s unique architecture is optimized for use with today’s most advanced TFT LCD modules that feature drivers integrated directly on the display glass and also allows the use of low cost, RAM-less drivers for non-integrated display modules.

PhotonIC™ WLED Drivers for Wireless Handsets
CMD will be displaying its newest capabilities in white 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 product offering, including charge pump and inductor boost architectures, provides power efficiency, cost effectiveness and maximum space savings. Its innovative FlexBoost technology supplies asymmetric voltage outputs, providing significant power savings for the lighting subsystem.

Praetorian™ EMI Filters for Wireless Handsets
Praetorian EMI (electromagnetic interference) 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 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.
