IDT DIVESTS NETWORK SEARCH ENGINE ASSETS

Cash Transaction Further Focuses Company on Mixed Signal Solutions; Provides Funds to Invest

in Future Growth Opportunities

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 30, 2009 – IDT® (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.; NASDAQ: IDTI), a leading provider of essential mixed signal semiconductor solutions that enrich the digital media experience, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to divest its network search engine business to NetLogic Microsystems, Inc (NASDAQ: NETL). The purchase consideration consists of approximately US$100 million less the cost of inventory, estimated at $10 million on hand, on the closing date. At closing, NetLogic Microsystems, at its option, may pay the entire purchase price in cash or pay approximately $70 million less the cost of inventory in cash and issue to IDT a $30 million secured promissory note payable in two equal installments on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date. The IDT Board of Directors has unanimously approved of the divestiture and signing of a definitive agreement. IDT expects this transaction to close prior to the end of the calendar third quarter of 2009.

“This strategic decision provides IDT and its shareholders with two primary advantages,” said Dr. Ted Tewksbury, president and CEO at IDT. “First, it sharpens the company’s focus on serving our customer’s needs of developing mixed-signal solutions that solve the challenges inherent in the processing, transporting and delivering of digital media. Second, it provides incremental sources of funds for IDT to make further investments to accelerate growth in our target markets.”

Further details regarding the transaction will be discussed on the Company’s quarterly financial conference call. Information regarding this call can be found at www.IDT.com. The live webcast will begin at 1:30 p.m. Pacific time on April 30, 2009. The webcast replay will be available after 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on April 30, 2009.
