California Micro Devices Presents Protection Solutions at Embedded Systems Conference

SAN JOSE, California - XtremeESD(R) Protection, Praetorian(R) EMI Filtering, HDMI(TM) 1.3 and
other Interface Protection Solutions Featured

California Micro Devices (Nasdaq: CAMD) will be showcasing its broad
range of protection solutions, including devices for electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering at ESC
Silicon Valley 2009 in San Jose, California from March 31 through April 2.
These solutions are well suited to a wide range of applications, such as
embedded and industrial computing, and consumer electronics.

The XtremeESD Family

PicoGuard XP(R) provides the industry’s highest level of protection for
sensitive high speed ICs, such as USB, where traditional single clamp
architectures are no longer effective. PicoGuard XS(R) provides the
industry’s best signal integrity with improved ESD protection for extreme
high speed data interfaces. PicoGuard XS devices integrate low capacitance
diodes with inductors to enable high frequency ESD protection and provide
matching impedance without requiring external compensation, and are ideal
solutions for ports such as HDMI(TM) 1.3 and DisplayPort(TM).

Interface Protection Solutions

CMD provides a wide range of application specific interface protection
solutions that integrate ESD protection with analog, logic and EMI filtering.
These solutions replace dozens of discrete components while improving
performance, reducing board space and overall cost. Application specific
interface protection solutions are available for HDMI(TM), VGA, USB and
CompactPCI.

Praetorian III(R) EMI Filters

Groundbreaking process technology integrates spiral inductors with
capacitors and ESD protection diodes in a single chip design, making it ideal
for high speed interfaces in mobile handset applications and other portable
electronics. Praetorian III technology, with its unique coupled inductor
design, offers high levels of inductance and low levels of capacitance to
deliver industry leading EMI suppression, excellent signal integrity and
robust ESD production in a space efficient, single chip solution.

Featured Session

CMD will deliver a presentation on “Evaluating ESD Protection Solutions
for High Speed Ports”, on Tuesday, March 31 at 5:30 PM.
