Milpitas, CA, July 21, 1995 - California Micro Devices Corporation (CMD), 
headquartered here, announced that Mr. Chan Desaigoudar has resigned as a 
director of the Company, effective July 20, 1995.

Mr. Desaigoudar was Chairman and CEO of the Company until October 27, 1994, 
when he was replaced and named Vice Chairman.  On December 2, 1994, the 
Company terminated the employment of Mr. Desaigoudar and several other key 
management employees due to accounting and other irregularities uncovered 
during the course of an internal investigation.  At that time, Mr. 
Desaigoudar declined to resign as a director.

integrated passive electronic components, which its calls IPECTM.  CMD's 
silicon-based, thin film products are smaller, faster and integrate well 
into the major electronic industry trends toward smaller, portable equipment, 
higher frequencies and greater functionality.
