Ringing NASDAQ Opening Bell on August 18, 2011

GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 17, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RF Micro Devices,
Inc. (Nasdaq:RFMD), a global leader in the design and manufacture of
high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor
technologies, today announced it will ring the NASDAQ Stock Market Opening

anniversary and is in recognition of RFMD's 20 years of product and
technology leadership in the radio frequency (RF) industry.

Micro Devices enjoys a strong record of RF industry "firsts." RFMD was
the first to introduce integrated power control for cellular power amplifiers,
or PAs, (PowerStar®); the first to introduce integrated power management
for PAs (PowerSmart®); the first to exceed 50% peak efficiency in 3G/4G
PAs; the first to commercialize high-performance silicon CMOS for cellular
switches; and the first to introduce gallium nitride (GaN) for CATV
amplifier applications.
Bob Bruggeworth, president and CEO of
RFMD, said, "It is a pleasure to commemorate RFMD's twentieth anniversary
and celebrate RFMD's twenty years of RF product and technology leadership
by ringing the NASDAQ opening bell. RFMD is a recognized pioneer and
innovator in the semiconductor industry, and our sharp focus on product
and technology leadership is equally as evident today — with the continued
ramp of multiple industry-leading, new products — as it was with the
commercialization of the world's first GaAs HBT PA."
A live webcast
of the bell ringing ceremony will be available from 9:15 a.m. to 9:30
a.m. EDT at
