IDT Expands Capacitive Touch Product Portfolio

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 18, 2010–IDT®(Integrated Device Technology, Inc.; NASDAQ: IDTI), a leading provider of essential mixed signal semiconductor solutions that enrich the digital media experience, today announced the newest members of theIDT PureTouch®familyof capacitive touch devices.Targeting low-channel consumer, white goods and portable devices,the PureTouch technology can be implemented through button, slider and scroll options. By incorporating lower power consumption as well as new features, including advanced proximity sense capability and power-on touch detection, the latest controllers help designers improve product differentiation and time-to-market with easy customization and simple system design for those devices requiring eight or fewer buttons.
            Offering increased functionality for IDT customers, the LDS6200 family is capable of detecting up to eight simultaneous touches and includes built-in proximity sensing, which allows activation of features such as backlighting and wake up prior to the actual touch contact. Moreover, IDT has also incorporated power-on touch detection into this new family to solve the problem of end devices not recognizing existing touches during power on. This feature allows the end application to recognize touch events already present at power on— a critical capability enabling many consumer devices to enter diagnostic modes.
           “Consumers are demanding touch interfaces in a wide variety of devices because of their ease of use, intuitive interface and stylish look. This future growth opportunity makes it an exciting industry to be part of,” saidAlvin Wong, general manager of the IDT Advanced User Interface group.“The highly integrated IDT PureTouch family of devices reduces component count, cuts design complexity and cost, and enables faster product development. The additional features of our latest touch controllers demonstrate the IDT commitment to enhancing the digital media experience through continued innovation.”
Building on other members of the PureTouch family, the LDS6200 series follows the IDT Power Smart initiative and is further optimized for ultra-low power consumption. The family enables power-efficient continuous scan of buttons without sleep modes, making the LDS6200 an ideal solution for battery-driven portable applications. In continuous scan mode, the LDS6200 consumes only 100uW, which is 20 percent lower than the current product family. With wide voltage range support (1.8V to 5.5V DC), no external voltage converter is required for non-portable applications.
            The IDT LDS6200 family of devices offers support for I2C— the most common interface for applications ranging from white goods to mobile devices. Furthermore, the new members of the PureTouch family help IDT customers speed time to market through their simplified system design and easy implementation, which is achieved through the optimized touch controller architecture alleviating the need for complex firmware development.
Pricing and Availability
The new devices are currently sampling andare available at $0.70 for 10,000 units and are available in a variety of package options, including 16-pin and 20-pin TQFN and SSOP packages. Evaluation and development kits are available for testing, analysis and system emulation. Each kit consists of an evaluation tuning board, sample sensor board and a software interface for optimizing PureTouch controller configuration with a customer’s unique sensor board.

IDT Reports Fiscal Q4 and Year-End 2010 Financial Results

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 4, 2010— Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®; NASDAQ: IDTI), a leading provider of essential mixed signal semiconductor solutions that enrich the digital media experience, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended March 28, 2010.
           “We saw better-than-expected revenue in our fiscal fourth quarter driven by broad based strength in our communications end market. We also experienced sequential increases in sales from new product categories including Serial Rapid IO and PCI Express, PC audio, as well as the initial ramp of DisplayPort timing controllers and receivers for the PC market,” said Dr. Ted Tewksbury, president and CEO of IDT.“Gross margin was better than we initially anticipated driven by improved product mix, and we once again demonstrated IDT’s significant operating leverage by delivering strong bottom line results.”
           “The past two years at IDT have marked some of the most significant changes the company has undergone in its 30 year history. We spent fiscal year 2009 implementing our strategy to transform the company into a leader in analog-intensive mixed-signal solutions for communication, consumer and computing applications. In fiscal 2010, we capitalized on the economic downturn and attracted some of the industry's finest talent while developing and acquiring innovative technologies to fill our new product pipeline. Now, as we enter our fiscal 2011, we are reaping the benefits of the strategy and returning to growth. I’m more excited than ever about IDT’s prospects for the future and I believe that our current product roadmaps, combined with strong execution, will deliver long term value for our customers and shareholders," continued Tewksbury.

These non-GAAP results exclude impairment charges, acquisition-related charges, share-based compensation expense and certain other expenses and benefits. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to manage and assess the profitability of the business. These non-GAAP results are also consistent with another way management internally analyzes IDT’s results and may be useful to financial community. The Company has reconciled non-GAAP results to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables at the end of this press release.
Reference to these non-GAAP results should be considered in addition to results that are prepared under general accepted accounting standards in the United States (GAAP), but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with GAAP. It should also be noted that IDT's non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
