November 30, 1998, Milpitas, California (NASDAQ NMS: CAMD) - California Micro 
Devices Corporation announced today the appointment of Charles F. Bellavia as 
Vice President of Worldwide Sales.  Mr. Bellavia joins California Micro 
Devices after 20+ years in executive management positions with such companies
as Inter-Manufacturing Incorporated (IMI), Adaptive Logic, IXYS Corporation 
(IXYS), Intel, and Hewlett Packard.

"Chuck will substantially strengthen the California Micro Device's team at a 
critical time when many new products and the increasing acceptance of our 
P/Active( family of integrated passives is boding well to increase 
revenue growth," explained Jeff Kalb, President and CEO.

During the last two years, Mr. Bellavia was President of a private consulting 
firm, assisting clients in the wireless, Internet, software, semiconductor, 
and hardware industries worldwide.  Assignments included developing business 
plans, corporate positioning, raising equity, forming worldwide sales 
organizations, and implementing strategic marketing plans.

Since 1997, Mr. Bellavia has been a member of the board of directors for IMI.  
Prior to 1997, Mr. Bellavia was Vice President of Sales and Marketing at 
Adaptive Logic where he designed both a sales generation system and a 
market focus program that produced the company's first design wins.  As 
Vice President of Sales and Marketing at IXYS five years earlier, 
Mr. Bellavia was key in cultivation of a technology agreement with a 
division of Rockwell and a second source relationship with Medtronic.  
Both alliances served to dramatically increase bookings and market share 
for IXYS.  Mr. Bellavia also served long stints in senior sales management 
positions at Intel Corporation and Hewlett Packard prior to IXYS.

A technical author and keynote speaker, Mr. Bellavia received his Masters 
degree in Business Administration from the University of Rochester in New 
York, and a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Clarkson 
University also in New York.
