PHOENIX -- ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a leading global supplier
of high performance, energy efficient, silicon solutions, announces the
release of a new family of low capacitance Thyristor Surge Protection
Devices (TSPD) designed to protect the next generation of high speed
telecom equipment. Thenew devices providea superior balance of small
size combined with high surge capabilities while maintaining low
capacitance and low leakage, an ideal combination for leading edge
telecom products.

Available in the space-saving TSOP-5 package, the NP0080, NP0120, and
NP0160 low capacitance, low leakage devices protect DSL chipsets
andline drivers. Though essentially transparent during normal circuit
operation, they provide excellent circuit protection during surge and
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events. Their inherently low differential
capacitance of less than 3 picofarad (pF) across the operating voltage
range precludes signal distortion on the high speed data line. These
NP0xxx TSPDs provide exceptional protection with a current withstand
capability of greater than 50 ampere (A) during a 8 x 20 microsecond
(uS) surge event. They are typically used as tertiary protection
between the DSL isolation transformer and the DSL line driver in both
Access and Customer Premise Equipment (CPE).

The new TSPD family from ON Semiconductor also includes the
market-leading ultra low capacitance NP-MC series in a cost-effective
SMB package. The ultra low capacitance of less than 30 pF for a 100 A
rated device offers designers an alternative to Gas Discharge Tubes in
a number of high speed applications. Due to their ultra low off-state
capacitance, the NP-MC devices offer minimal signal distortion for high
speed equipment such as VDSL2+ and T1/E1 circuits. The low nominal
off-state capacitance translates into the extremely low differential
capacitance offering superb linearity with applied voltage or
frequency. They are typically used as secondary protectors on the
line-side of the DSL isolation transformer. The NPMC series includes
the NP0640SCMCT3G, NP0720SCMCT3G, NP0900SCMCT3G, NP1100SCMCT3G,
NP1300SCMCT3G and NP1500SCMCT3G.

Essential fordevelopment of reliable access and customer premise
equipment such as Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (IP-DSLAM), home gateways and modems, Voice-over-Internet
protocol (VoIP) and other equipment, these TSPDs assist the designer in
achieving standards compliance, as well as minimizing any impact in
signal quality.

The NP0080, NP0120 and NP0160 are packaged in TSOP-5 and priced at
$0.2307 USD per unit in 3,000 unit quantities. The NP-MC series devices
are available in the SMB package and priced at $0.2307 USD per unit in
2,500 units quantities.

About Stockwire:

Stockwire is one of the largest communities for Micro Cap Investors. We
are the only place on the internet to provide LIVE CHAT ROOMS for
dedicated stocks.

We have also pioneering a new way to research companies before you
invest them. It's called a Stockumentary. A Stockumentary is a
documentary on a publicly traded company. Imagine a Dateline NBC
segment, but on a publicly traded company. We are the first company to
ever bring this type of quality research to investors in this format.

The Stockumentary has video interviews with management, product demos,
video tours of office or factory, research reports, sec filings and
much more. All of this is delivered to investors in high quality video,
either by mail or email.

Stockwire.com is owned by Stockwire Research Group Inc. (SRGI) and is
