(Nasdaq: SLAB), a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs), today announced it raised second quarter revenue guidance to $102 to $104 million, up from $98 to $101 million, due to stronger than expected demand, particularly in the voice and embedded modem businesses.
