California Micro Devices Expands ESD Protection Portfolio for Emerging Mobile Handset Applications

New Products are Optimized for ESD Protection, Signal Integrity and
Compact Form Factor MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- California Micro Devices (NASDAQ:CAMD) today announced an
expansion of its product portfolio for mobile handsets with the
introduction of two new ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection
product families that address the needs of high speed data
interfaces found in many of today's most advanced handsets. These
products deliver robust ESD protection with superior signal
integrity in space saving, low profile packages. The CM1263 family
is based on CMD's highly successful PicoGuard(TM) line of low
capacitance ESD protection products and provides both robust ESD
protection and superior signal integrity for the high speed serial
data interfaces that are increasingly being used for display,
imager and data ports. The CM1248 family is based on CMD's
Centurion(TM) process technology and provides high levels of ESD
protection and superior signal integrity for high speed data
interfaces to memory and media cards. Products from both families
are offered in compact, state of the art packages that minimize
board space requirements. Increased Need for ESD Protection Today's
most advanced handset designs typically feature high resolution
color displays and imagers, high speed external data ports and
removable memory and media cards. To address these requirements,
handset designers increasingly employ new high speed serial
interface standards including Mobile Display Digital Interface
(MDDI), Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI), Mobile Pixel
Link (MPL) and USB 2.0 to achieve high bandwidth, lower power,
reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and smaller form factors
for interface cables and connectors. The system chips that enable
these features are fabricated using advanced wafer fabrication
processes that are increasingly susceptible to damage from ESD
strikes. Additionally, these interfaces operate at data rates up to
500Mbps and cannot tolerate the high levels of capacitance
associated with traditional ESD protection solutions due to signal
integrity requirements. CMD's new products have been specifically
designed to address the ESD protection requirements for these
applications while maintaining a high level of integrity. PicoGuard
CM1263 Family The new CM1263 family of products features 0.85 pF
input capacitance and protects against ESD strikes of up to +/-8kV
contact discharge per the IEC61000-4-2 level 4 standard. The low
capacitance of these devices makes them ideal for protecting
emerging interfaces such as MDDI, MIPI, and MPL that connect the
main modules (baseband, application processor, display, and camera)
in a wireless handset while preserving signal integrity. The CM1263
family offers designers layout flexibility with both two and six
channel configurations. The two channel CM1263-02SE is offered in a
small form factor SOT-563 package. The six channel CM1263-06DE is
offered in a state-of-the art 0.4mm pitch uDFN package. Centurion
CM1248 Family The CM1248 family of devices, designed with CMD's
Centurion process technology, is ideal for protecting user
accessible media cards, user interface keys and keypad assemblies
which require high levels of ESD protection and signal integrity,
but are less sensitive to capacitance. They feature robust ESD
protection up to +/-18kV contact discharge per the IEC61000-4-2
level 4 standard, with an input capacitance of 10pF to preserve
signal integrity. Offered in multiple channel configurations with
compact packages that occupy 50 percent less board space than
competitive offerings, the CM1248 arrays provide a very compelling
solution. Layout and Placement Flexibility # of Product channels
