costs when compared to discrete solutions
California Micro Devices Corporation (CAMD CAMD Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices CAMD Clean Air Markets Division (US EPA) CAMD Computer-Assisted Molecular Design CAMD Chemical Agent and Munitions Disposal CAMD Carl Asmis Memorial Dressage Association ) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on NMS See NetWare Management System. : CAMD) announced today the PAC(TM)KBME, a keyboard or mouse filter for use in computers. Using CAMD's patented P/Active(R) technology, this device provides EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. / RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) High-frequency electromagnetic waves that emanate from electronic devices such as chips. RFI - Radio Frequency Interference filtering, termination, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection that exceeds IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 61000-4-2 Level 4 international standard. The PACKBME is able to protect the computer system from accidental damage caused by ESD to 30kV contact discharge. The PACKBME device terminates the 2 data lines for the keyboard or mouse port and is a low cost, single chip solution. CAMD's technology is silicon-based and its quality and reliability matches that of today's integrated circuits. By integrating resistors, capacitors, and diodes on silicon, this device achieves termination, filtering and ESD protection of a keyboard / mouse port. The integration of all these components provide significant savings in cost and board space while enhancing the system's performance. The PACKBME is available in a compact, surface-mount SOT23-6 package. Pricing for the PACKBME in 10K quantities is $0.30. Samples are available now. Production lead-time is 10 weeks ARO. Headquartered in Milpitas, California, California Micro Devices designs, manufactures and markets integrated thin film, silicon-based termination, filtering, and active electronic circuitry. Built in ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9000-registered quality system environments, California Micro Devices' products target the requirements of computer, networking, and communication-based customers for smaller, high density devices that operate at high frequencies with superior performance and functionality.
