MUNICH, Germany, November 10 /PRNewswire/ --

- XtremeESD(TM) Protection, 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 Electronica 2008 in Munich from November 11 through 14. 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(TM) 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(TM) 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's 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, VGA, USB and CompactPCI.

Praetorian(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.
