                               For Immediate Release


CALIFORNIA MICRO DEVICES EXPECTS LOWER FIRST QUARTER SALES

Milpitas, CA, June 21, 1996 -- California Micro Devices Corporation 
(NASDAQ NMS: CAMD) (CMD), headquartered here, today announced that it expects
that revenue for its first fiscal quarter, ending June 30, 1996, will be 
lower than the $11.0 million reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
As previously announced, there has been a significant softening in the 
marketplace, as systems manufacturers adjust inventory levels.  This trend 
has continued through the quarter, confirming the Company's earlier cautionary 
statements, as customer's orders have been rescheduled to future quarters.
Along with the decline in revenues from recent levels CMD has also seen an 
erosion in margins due to lower operating levels and shift in product mix.  
The Company expects to announce first quarter results in late July. 

Forward looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties 
including, but not limited to, product demand, pricing, market 
acceptance, risk of dependence on third party suppliers, intellectual 
property rights and litigation, risks in product and technology development 
and other risk factors detailed in CMD's Securities and Exchange Commission 
filings. Statements contained herein which are not historical facts are 
forward looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this release are 
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Due to the risk factors discussed herein, 
the Company's future actual results could differ materially from those 
discussed above.

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.
