                                PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all the information
that may be important to you.  You should read the entire prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference carefully before you decide to purchase our
shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus.  You should also
carefully consider the information provided in this prospectus under the
heading "Risk Factors."  Significant additional information may be found in
our reports on forms 10-K and 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 1999, June

semiconductor devices into single chip solutions for many of the industry's
densest, highest performance electronic applications.  In the last two years,
 we have focused our expertise on providing high volume, cost effective
solutions for computer systems and peripherals, high performance networking,
and the mobile communications markets.

     We were incorporated in 1980, and have been a public company since 1986.
Our principal executive offices are located as 215 Topaz Street, Milpitas,

                                   RISK FACTORS

     Any investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the following risks as well as the other
information contained in this prospectus.  If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business could be harmed, the trading price of our common
stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have incurred losses since our fiscal year 1998 and we may be unable to
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
achieve profitability
- ---------------------
     We have experienced losses for each quarter and fiscal year since June 30,
1998.  We incurred net losses of $2.8 million for our fiscal year ended March
31, 1999 and $1.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999.  Our
accumulated deficit at September 30, 1999 was $35.2 million.  Although our
revenues have grown in recent quarters, we may not be able to achieve
profitability.

Our products are not sold pursuant to long-term contracts and thus our
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
quarterly revenues and operating results might lead to volatility in our
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
stock price
- -----------
     Generally, our sales are not subject to long-term contracts but rather to
short-term releases of customer's purchase orders, most of which are cancelable
on relatively short notice.  The timing of these releases for production as
well as custom design work is not in our control.  Because of the short life
cycles involved with our customers' products, the order pattern from individual
customers can be erratic with accumulation and de-accumulation during phases of
the life cycle for our customers' products.  As a result, we experience
quarterly fluctuations in revenue and operating results.  The fluctuations
could cause our stock price to be volatile.

Due to the volatility of demand for our products, our inventory may, from
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
time-to-time, be in excess of our needs which could cause write-downs of our
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
inventory
- ---------
     Generally our products are sold pursuant to short-term releases of
customer purchase orders and some orders must be filled on an expedited basis.
In addition, many of our products are specific to individual customers.  We
record our inventory reserves for excess inventory levels and obsolete
inventory based on our projection of backlog and demand.  If we incur
unanticipated revisions or cancellations of orders or demand for our products,
we may be required to provide for additional inventory reserves that could
have an adverse effect on our operating results and business.

Our manufacturing processes are complex and include risks that could have
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
an adverse effect on our business
- ---------------------------------
     Our manufacturing processes are complex and require a highly controlled,
clean environment suitable for fine tolerances.  These processes have certain
risks, including:
(   errors in fabrication;
(   defects in raw materials;

     If we fail to manage these risks, we could lose future orders for our
products or incur liability to customers for defective products, which in turn
could hurt our business.

Our use of subcontractors in Asia exposes us to risks associated with
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
international operations
- ------------------------
     We use subcontractors in Asia, primarily in Thailand and Malaysia, for
assembly, packaging, and testing of most of our products.  This practice
subjects us to a number of inherent risks, including:

(   potential economic instability;
(   potential political instability;
(   changes in regulatory requirements;
(   reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
(   fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

                                        4

<PAGE>
(   potential adverse tax consequences.

We are dependent on a limited number of subcontractors
- ------------------------------------------------------
     Due to the volume of our products, we believe it is impractical for us to
spread our use of subcontractors over more than a few suppliers without
significant increases in our costs.  If the operations of one or more of our
subcontractors should be disrupted, our business may be adversely impacted.  In
addition, the volatility of the semiconductor industry has occasionally
resulted in shortages of subcontractor capacity and other disruption of
supplies.  We can not assure you that we will be able to find sufficient
subcontractors at a reasonable price or at all if such disruptions occur.

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive, and if we cannot
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
compete effectively, our business will be adversely impacted
- ------------------------------------------------------------
     Our primary competition has come from established competitors and from
pre-existing technologies.  Many of our competitors have announced that they
are or will be providing thin film products in addition to their traditional
thick film devices.

     Our primary competitors for our resistors, resistor networks and
capacitors are substantially larger foreign and domestic companies, such as:

AVX/Kyocera                                   Murata-Erie of North America, Inc.
IRC                                           ROHM Co., Ltd.
Beckman Industrial Corp.                      TDK Corp. of America
KOA Electronics, Inc.                         Philips Electronics, N.V.
Matsushita Electronics Components Co., Ltd.   Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.

     Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,
including sales and distribution channels, allowing them to operate at lower
gross margins than we target thus subjecting us to the risk of lost revenues
and market share.

We rely on computer hardware, software, and internet-based technology that
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
could have year 2000 problems and adversely affect the delivery of our
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
products to customers.
- ----------------------
     We rely extensively on computer hardware, software, and related technology,
together with data, in the operation of our business.  This technology and data
are used in creating and delivering our products, and in our internal
operations, such as billing and accounting.  We have initiated an enterprise-
wide program to evaluate the technology and data used in the creation and
delivery of our products and services, and in our internal operations.  If we
fail to complete the implementation of our Year 2000 plan prior to the
commencement of the Year 2000, or our customers and suppliers fail to
successfully remediate their own Year 2000 issues, it could materially
adversely affect us.  The plan includes resolving any Year 2000 issues that
are related to our customers and suppliers.  However, there can be no
assurances that these third parties will successfully remediate their own Year
2000 issues over which we have no control.

                                   USE OF PROCEEDS

     We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of shares by the
selling shareholders.

                                SELLING SHAREHOLDER

     The shares offered hereby were issued to Hitachi Metals, Limited of Japan
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated March 15, 1994.  That agreement
gave Hitachi the right to have the shares it purchased registered.  We are
registering those shares at Hitachi's request for possible sale.

     Prior to any sale pursuant to this prospectus, Hitachi owned 980,000
shares of our common stock, or approximately 9.6% of our outstanding common
stock at September 30, 1999.

                               PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The selling shareholder may sell the common stock at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed.  The
selling shareholder may sell some or all of its on stock through:

     *  ordinary brokers' transactions which may include long or short sales;
     *  transactions involving cross or block trades or otherwise on the
        Nasdaq National Market;
     *  purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and resale
        by those purchasers for their own accounts under this prospectus;
     *  "at the market" to or through market makers or into an existing market
         for the common stock;
     *  in other ways not involving market makers or established trading
        markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through
        agents;
     *  through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives; or
        any combination of the foregoing or by any other legally available
        means.

     The selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-
dealers who may engage in short sales of common stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume.  The selling shareholder also may enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by those
broker-dealers of the common stock.  The shares may then be resold under this
prospectus.  In its selling activities, the selling shareholder will be subject
to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its rules
and regulations, including without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit
the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the
selling shareholder.

     The selling shareholder may negotiate and pay broker-dealers commissions,
discounts, or concessions for their services.  Broker-dealers engaged by the
selling shareholder may allow other broker-dealers to participate in resales.
The selling shareholder and any broker-dealers involved in the sale or resale
of the common stock may qualify as "underwriters" within the meaning of Section
2(11) of the Securities Act.  In addition, the broker-dealers' commissions,
discounts or concession may qualify as underwriters' compensation under the
Securities Act.  If the selling shareholder or any broker-dealer qualifies as
an "underwriter," they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933.  In conjunction with sales to or through
brokers, dealers, or agents, the selling shareholder may agree to indemnify
them against liabilities arising under the Securities Act.  We know of no
existing arrangements between the selling shareholder, any other shareholder,
broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of
the common stock.

     In addition to selling their common stock under this prospectus, the
selling shareholder may:

     *  transfer its common stock in other ways not involving market makers or
        established trading markets, including by gift, distribution, or other
        transfer; or
     *  sell their common stock under Rule 144 of the Securities Act rather
        than under this prospectus, if the transaction meets the requirements
        of Rule 144.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the common stock in this offering will be passed upon for
us by Scott Hover-Smoot, general counsel.  As of November 11, 1999, Mr. Hover-
Smoot beneficially owned 78,500 shares of our common stock.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 317 of the California Corporations Code allows for the
indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms
sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for
liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act.  Article V of Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and an
amendment to Registrant's Bylaws effective January 21, 1987 provide for
indemnification of Registrant's directors, officers, employees and other agents
to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the California
Corporations Code.


Item 16.  Exhibits.

     The following exhibits are filed as part of this Registration Statement:

Item 17.  Undertakings.

     The Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
          (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act of 1933, unless the information otherwise
                required to be included in a post-effective amendment is
                contained in a periodic report filed by the Registrant pursuant
                to Section 13 or Section 15(d) or the Securities Exchange Act
                of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference;
          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
                the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
                recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
                or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
                information set forth in the Registration Statement, unless the
                information otherwise required to be included in a post-
                effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by
                the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
                Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated herein by
                reference; and
         (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
                distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
                Statement or any material change to such information in the
                Registration Statement;

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof; and
     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

     The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

California Micro Devices Corporation
215 Topaz Street
Milpitas, California 95035-5430

Gentlemen:

     I have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed by
California Micro Devices Corporation (the "Company") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or about November 11, 1999 in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of
980,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common Stock previously issued
to Hitachi Metals, Limited of Japan.  As your legal counsel, I have examined
the proceedings taken and am familiar with the proceedings proposed to be
taken by the Company in connection with the sale of the Shares.

     It is my opinion that the Shares, when sold in the manner referred to in
the Prospectus, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.

     I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to said Registration
Statement and further consent to the use of my name wherever appearing in said
Registration Statement and amendments thereto.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ Scott Hover-Smoot
