Business Wire, April 5, 2005

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- IDT(TM) (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.)(Nasdaq:IDTI), a leading communications IC company, today announced it has accepted an invitation to serve on the board of the Advanced Switching Interconnect Special Interest Group (ASI SIG). The ASI SIG is chartered with defining, developing and marketing ASI, a standards-based, switched-interconnect and data-fabric architecture based on PCI Express(TM) technology. ASI-based solutions connect system boards and components in future generations of communications, storage, server and embedded platforms. IDT is currently developing Advanced Switching (AS) and PCI Express standards-based products.

"Advanced Switching gained tremendous momentum in 2004, and it is only a matter of time until the architecture is widespread in communications and computing applications," said Mario Montana, director of marketing for the IDT serial-switching division. "IDT is eager to drive the proliferation of this standard by leveraging its technical expertise and strong understanding of the market and plans to provide significant contributions to ASI SIG board activities. We are confident the Advanced Switching architecture will benefit the industry long term, and we remain committed to our investment in standards-based serial switching."

"IDT brings broad switching and systems expertise to the ASI SIG board during a time marked by the impending availability of first silicon based on Advanced Switching," said Rajeev Kumar, president of the ASI SIG. "Since the SIG was formed, IDT has contributed strong leadership to the marketing and technical working groups and now brings that experience to our board of directors to help guide implementation of the standard."

In addition to IDT, the ASI SIG board of directors includes Agere, Huawei, Intel, Siemens, Vitesse and Xilinx. Additional information on the ASI SIG can be found at http://www.asi-sig.org/.> About IDT Serial-Switching Division
