      O2Micro Receives Key CardBus Controller Patent
      Tuesday October 8, 8:31 am ET


      SANTA CLARA, Calif. & GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2002--O2Micro® International Limited (Nasdaq:OIIM - News), a leading supplier of innovative power management and security ICs to mobile computer and communications manufacturers, was granted 10 claims under Taiwan patent number 155,891 for its SmartCardSensing® Card Detection Circuit.
      This patented technology is implemented in the SmartCardBus® (OZ711E series) and 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) (OZ711M series) family of CardBus Controllers. It enables O2Micro`s advanced CardBus controllers to automatically detect and communicate with ISO 7816 Smart Cards and popular flash media cards (SD Memory Card, Memory Stick(TM), MultiMediaCard (MMC) and SmartMedia(TM)), in addition to 16- and 32-bit PC Cards.

      Various card types can be inserted into the PCMCIA slot containing O2Micro`s SmartCardBus® and 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) products using either a dedicated slot or a low cost passive PCMCIA standard 68-pin adapter, which requires no additional pins. Low cost Smart Card and 4-in-1 flash media passive adapters are already available in the market from multiple sources. Using the existing PCMCIA slot to support these additional functions eliminates the need to add dedicated slots to crowded side panels of a notebook computer.

      "This patent continues O2Micro`s leadership in the advancement of CardBus controller technology," stated Max Huang, vice president of O2Micro`s Intelligent E-Commerce Business Unit. "The addition of broadly based foreign patents significantly strengthens our intellectual property and market position worldwide. This Taiwan patent is pivotal as Taiwan is the largest market for the manufacture of notebook computers."

      O2Micro`s SmartCardSensing technology allows a user-friendly, real plug-n-play environment. Plus, it gives PC OEM`s the option to use low cost, passive adapters to extend the value of the existing PCMCIA card slot, and utilize a regular notebook computer as a digital hub.

      O2Micro Receives Major U.S. CardBus Controller Patent
      Tuesday October 22, 7:04 pm ET


      SANTA CLARA, Calif. and GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2002--O2Micro International Limited (Nasdaq:OIIM - News), a leading supplier of innovative power management and security ICs to mobile computer and communications manufacturers, was granted 9 claims under United States patent number 6,470,284 for its SmartCardSensing® Card Detection Circuit.
      "This patent expands our market leadership by enabling digital hub capability into O2Micro`s extended CardBus controller family," stated Sterling Du, Chairman and CEO of O2Micro. "The addition of the U.S. patent compliments the Taiwan patent issued to O2Micro two weeks ago, and significantly strengthens our intellectual property and market position worldwide."

      This patented technology is implemented in the SmartCardBus® (OZ711E series) and 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) (OZ711M series) family of CardBus Controllers. It enables O2Micro`s advanced CardBus controllers to automatically detect and communicate with ISO 7816 Smart Cards and popular flash media cards (SD Memory Card, Memory Stick(TM), MultiMediaCard (MMC) and SmartMedia(TM)), in addition to 16- and 32-bit PC Cards.

      Various card types can be inserted into the PCMCIA slot containing O2Micro`s SmartCardBus® and 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) products using either a dedicated slot or a low cost passive PCMCIA standard 68-pin adapter, which requires no additional pins. Low cost Smart Card and 4-in-1 flash media passive adapters are already available in the market from multiple sources. Using the existing PCMCIA slot to support these additional functions eliminates the need to add dedicated slots to crowded side panels of a notebook computer, and provides a high performance data transfer rate, compared to USB.

      O2Micro`s SmartCardSensing® technology allows a user-friendly, real plug-n-play environment. Plus, it gives PC OEM`s the option to use low cost, passive adapters to extend the value of the existing PCMCIA card slot, and utilize a regular notebook computer as a digital hub.

      O2Micro Receives Industry Leading Patent for Precision Circuit Trimming Method
      Tuesday November 5, 8:33 am ET


      SANTA CLARA, Calif. & GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2002--O2Micro® International Limited (Nasdaq:OIIM - News), a leading supplier of innovative power management and security ICs to mobile computer and communications manufacturers, was granted 16 claims under United States patent number 6,472,897 for its Precision Trimming Method, also referred to as DigitalLaserTrim(TM), for integrated circuits.
      "DigitalLaserTrim(TM) is a key breakthrough in semiconductor process methods," stated Sterling Du, chairman and CEO of O2Micro. "This patent enables post packaging precision trimming of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, and avoids the associated penalties in lead-count and added device size experienced by other industry methods."

      This patented methodology is currently implemented in O2Micro`s DC/DC power control, battery cell balancing, and battery charging devices; and also applies to mixed-signal data converters, waveform generators, precision DC output circuits, precision comparators, and many other basic circuits used as core building blocks across our product line.

      Benefits of this post packaging trimming methodology include:

      Elimination of high voltage trim signal
      Avoidance of problems associated with wafer level trimming methodology
      Elimination of the need for dedicated trim leads
      O2Micro`s vice president of engineering, Alex Hartular, adds, "O2Micro`s patented post packaging trimming method provides customers with a high precision semiconductor without the need for additional leads, resulting in a potentially smaller package size for a given precision circuit."

      O2Micro Announces the 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus Product Family
      Wednesday November 20, 8:31 am ET


      SANTA CLARA, Calif. & GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2002--O2Micro® International Limited (Nasdaq:OIIM - News), a leading supplier of innovative power management and security ICs to mobile computer and communications manufacturers, announces high volume production of its patented 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) family of products.
      "4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) products are being used in next generation, small form factor, lightweight notebooks to provide users a mobile-friendly method of accessing digital content from a variety of flash media formats," stated Sterling Du, Chairman and CEO of O2Micro.

      This new 4-in-1 MemoryCardBus(TM) (OZ711M1, OZ711M2, OZ711M3) product line enables a single passive adapter to support popular flash media cards (SD Memory Card, Memory Stick(TM), MultiMediaCard (MMC) and SmartMedia(TM)) utilizing the patented SmartCardSensing® Card Detection technology and EMV certified SmartCardBus® architecture.

      Low cost flash media passive adapters, currently available on the market from multiple sources, fit into the existing PCMCIA slot, eliminating expensive re-tooling of Notebook back panel and preserving all existing I/O ports. Using the existing PCMCIA slot to support these additional functions also provides a higher performance data transfer rate, compared to USB.

      "PC OEMs can either provide dedicated sockets for different types of flash media cards or a single, low-cost, passive adapter that can accommodate all four types," said Max Huang, vice president of O2Micro`s Intelligent E-Commerce business unit. "In the latter case, the end user simply inserts the media card into a PC card adapter, then inserts the adapter into the notebook PC card slot."
