California Micro Devices Corporation is a leading supplier of application specific analog and mixed signal semiconductor products for the mobile handset, digital consumer electronics and personal computer markets. Key products include protection devices for mobile handsets, digital consumer electronics products such as digital TVs and personal computers as well as analog and mixed signal ICs for mobile handset displays.

Products and Technology
Centurion™ ESD/EMI protection devices include Zener diode ESD arrays plus multichannel RC EMI filters with ESD protection for mobile handset applications including dataports and internal interfaces to displays and cameras.

Praetorian® ESD/EMI protection devices are multichannel LC EMI filters with ESD protection using spiral inductors combined with semiconductor circuit elements. Their superior filter performance makes them ideal for high resolution display and camera interfaces in mobile handsets.

PicoGuard™ low capacitance ESD devices low capacitance ESD devices provide robust multichannel ESD protection for high speed data ports including USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI while ensuring uncompromised signal integrity.

MediaGuard™ HDMI protection devices feature ESD protection for all 12 HDMI data lines plus level shifting, backdrive protection, and overcurrent protection for HDMI ports on digital TVs, cable and satellite settop boxes, DVD players and recorders, and other digital video devices.

PhotonIC® LED drivers include charge pump and switching regulator driver circuits for backlight, camera flash and other LEDs used in mobile handsets. CMD’s proprietary FlexBoost™ technology enables handset designers to drive several strings of LEDs with a single chip and a single inductor with maximum efficiency.

Serial interface display controllers feature a high speed serial client that is fully compliant with the VESA Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) standard and an integrated display controller with embedded memory that supports both primary and secondary TFT displays for mobile handsets. They offer a significantly smaller footprint and lower cost than competitive alternatives.

Chip Scale Packages (CSP) offer a smaller footprint and lower cost than traditional plastic packages. CMD products for mobile handsets are available in both package types.
