Milpitas, CA, February 5, 1996 -- California Micro Devices Corporation 
(Nasdaq/NMS:CAMD), headquartered here, today reported that on February 2, 
1996, Judge Vaughn Walker of the United States District Court, Northern 
District of California, issued an order regarding the previously announced 
preliminary settlement of class action securities lawsuits against the 
Company.  Judge Walker denied the motion for preliminary approval of the 
proposed settlement; denied the request of the law firm of Lief, Cabraser to 
be appointed class counsel; and certified the Colorado Public Employee 
Retirement Fund (COLPERA) as class representative. 

According to Wade Meyercord, Chairman of the Board of California Micro Devices 
Corporation, "It has been, and remains the position of the Board that it is in 
the best interests of both current and former shareholders and the Company 
itself, to arrive at a fair settlement as rapidly as possible.  We are 
awaiting COLPERA's response."

California Micro Devices is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of 
integrated passive and active electronic components.  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.
