     Milpitas, CA, November 20, 1995 -- California Micro Devices Corporation, 
(NASDAQ NMS: CAMD) headquartered here, today announced the appointment of John 
Jorgensen as Vice President, Engineering.

Mr. Jorgensen has spent most of his professional career at National 
Semiconductor.  Recruited as a design engineer in 1972, Jorgensen rose quickly, 
leading increasingly large teams of engineers to develop scores of highly 
successful semiconductor and other component products.  Beginning in 1989, 
his responsibilities were broadened to include all phases of project management
 as well as P&L responsibility for "start-up" business units.  Since May 
1995, he has served as Director of Corporate Business Development at National 
Semiconductor.

For Jorgensen, CMD represents a "once-in-a-career-opportunity" to mold a 
product development organization that reflects his experience and philosophy.  
Jorgensen said that he, CMD President and CEO Jeff Kalb, and CMD Vice President 
of Operations Ari Schifrin, "share a vision of product development and a 
commitment to continuous innovation" that comes from experiences they gained 
as young National Semi managers in the 1970's.  Jorgensen wants to recreate 
this kind of "hothouse" atmosphere at CMD and is optimistic, although he thinks 
it will take time to achieve a new level of excellence, and acquire the broad 
range of expertise required to fully execute the strategy.

According to Jeff Kalb, "We think John Jorgensen is uniquely qualified to 
assemble the expertise for CMD to build upon its strength in silicon-based 
thin film passives and to create succeeding generations of innovative products 
that address significant new market opportunities."

California Micro Devices is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of integrated 
passive electronic components, which it calls IPEC(tm)  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.
