ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN) a leading global supplier of high performance, energy-efficient silicon solutions, has confirmed that it will be actively participating in a number of the high-profile events and forums taking place during electronica 2008. The company will present papers at the Automotive Forum, the Embedded Forum and the Wireless Forum, and will also be participating in Wireless Congress 2008. Papers presented by ON Semiconductor speakers will reflect the company’s expertise in developing energy-efficient technologies for automotive, industrial and portable applications.

With a focus on ‘Systems and Applications’, Wireless Congress 2008 is designed as an international platform for developers, system designers, technology decision makers, project managers and wireless system authorities. On Thursday 13th November at 17.00, Allan Ball, ON Semiconductor’s application engineering director, will present a Congress paper on the topic of ‘Implementing efficient bi-directional current flow in portable handheld electronics.’

The electronica Automotive Forum in Hall A6 will see Bart de Cock, ON Semiconductor’s automotive product manager, deliver a paper on the use of stepper motors in automotive motion control designs. Bart will present the paper - Emerging stepper motor technologies enable next-generation automotive actuators - at 15.30 on 12th November and 14.00 on 13th November.

ON Semiconductor will be presenting two different papers at the electronica Embedded Forum, also in Hall A6. In the first, which is scheduled for 15.30 on 12th November, Eric Wallentine, ON Semiconductor’s product marketing manager, industrial products (stepper motor drivers and CAN transceivers), will consider the topic of ‘drive evolution for flexible CAN-based motion controls’. At 15.00 on 13th November Barry West, the company’s principal systems architect for digital and mil/aero products and services, will deliver a paper on FPGA-based embedded systems design.

Portable design will be the theme of an ON Semiconductor paper to be delivered at the electronica Wireless Forum in Hall A4. Presented by Michael Bairanzade, a senior member of the technical staff in the company’s LVPM Division, the paper will look at how state-of-the-art LED driver technologies can be used to create new, portable illumination designs. ON Semiconductor’s NCP5680, a unique LED flash driver with super-capacitor charging control will be highlighted in this presentation. The device is capable of delivering over 5A to 2 LED flashlights for high resolution photography – the highest current capability in the market. It also allows the extra energy in the super-capacitor to power other high-peak-current circuits in the cellphone, such as PA and audio amplifier. Therefore, the battery is able to handle more power consuming applications and for a longer time. The NCP5680 offers both flash and torch mode, with photo sensor that limits the flash duration and multiple safety features including temperature sensing, short circuit protection and time-out. This paper will be presented at 15.00 on both the 12th and 13th November.

ON Semiconductor to showcase energy-efficient solutions for automotive, industrial and portable designs with live stand demonstrations

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:00:00 GMT

PHOENIX, Ariz. – NOV. 3, 2008 - ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a leading global supplier of high performance, energy efficient, silicon solutions, will be using electronica 2008 to run a number of live demonstrations based on the company’s efficient control, signal path and power management technologies for automotive, industrial and portable applications.

For the automotive sector, demonstrations will show the application of the company’s mixed-signal bridge driver technology in a throttle design and the use of ON Semiconductor devices in door mirror and HVAC systems. Twice a day during the show visitors will also have the opportunity to enter a competition to achieve the shortest time for accurately parking a remote controlled car that has been equipped with an ON Semiconductor ‘park assist’ sensor.

Industrial motor control demonstrations will be based on the ON Semiconductor family of mixed-signal motor driver ICs that combine integrated networking with high levels of functionality. One will show a LIN-enabled device controlling three motors on a LIN network and another will illustrate CAN- and I2C alternatives. These demonstrations will illustrate benefits such as simplicity of networking and ease of implementation as well as key features such as stall detection and automatic reset functionality.

Demonstrations for portable applications will include a display & lighting subsystem that shows how the recently announced NCP5890 lighting management IC can be used to control LED lighting in devices such as mobile phones. In the demonstration the device is used to control a combination of white backlighting LEDs and RGB LEDs, highlighting its ability to provide LED dimming and audio modulated ‘fun’ lighting responses. electronica will also see the European debut of the ON Semiconductor NCP5680 flash LED driver IC in a power management subsystem where this device in conjunction with a super-capacitor (supercap)functions as a peak load delivery IC. It will be used to drive two high-current LEDs and Class D stereo audio amplifiers, illustrating how the NCP5680 can contribute to overall system power reductions.

Further benefits of using ON Semiconductor technology in LED-based applications will be illustrated in a demonstration that compares the power efficiency of two identical desk lamps, one with an incandescent bulb and one with an LED and ON Semiconductor LED Driver. In addition, a prototype 60W green power supply for an LCD monitor will show how PSU designers can use ON Semiconductor technology to meet and exceed power conservation targets.

Finally, in line with the company’s strategy to deliver high-performance audio solutions to portable applications, ON Semiconductor will also have an audio subsystem demonstrator based on its BelaSigna 250+ ultra-low-power audio processor technology. This demonstration will highlight key functions including voice enhancement, noise cancellation, bass enhancement and dynamic range processing.

ON Semiconductor Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:00:00 GMT

For the third quarter of 2008, total corporate highlights include:
• Record quarterly revenues of $581.5 million
• Record adjusted EBITDA of $140.9 million
• Record cash and equivalents of $417.9 million
• GAAP gross margin of 38.1 percent
• Non-GAAP gross margin of 41.5 percent
• GAAP net income per fully diluted share of $0.15

• Closed acquisition of Catalyst Semiconductor in an all-stock transaction subsequent to the quarter end

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Oct. 30, 2008 – ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: ONNN) today announced that total revenues in the third quarter of 2008 were a record $581.5 million, an increase of approximately three percent from the second quarter of 2008. During the third quarter of 2008, the company reported GAAP net income of $61.2 million, or $0.15 per share on a fully diluted basis. Third quarter 2008 GAAP net income included net charges of $39.2 million, or $0.10 per share on a fully diluted basis, from special items. The special item details can be found in the attached schedules. During the second quarter of 2008, the company reported GAAP net income of $44.6 million, or $0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis.

Third quarter 2008 non-GAAP net income was $100.4 million, or $0.25 per share on a fully diluted basis. Second quarter 2008 non-GAAP net income was $95.1 million, or $0.23 per share on a fully diluted basis. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures (and other non-GAAP measures used elsewhere in this release, such as non-GAAP gross margin and adjusted EBITDA) to the company’s most directly comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are set forth in the attached schedules and on our website at www.onsemi.com.

On a mix-adjusted basis, average selling prices in the third quarter of 2008 were down approximately two percent from the second quarter of 2008. The company’s gross margin in the third quarter was 38.1 percent. Non-GAAP gross margin in the third quarter of 2008 was 41.5 percent. GAAP gross margin in the third quarter included a net charge of approximately $19.5 million, or approximately 340 basis points from special items. The special item details can be found in the attached schedules.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 was a record $140.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2008 was $133.7 million.

“We had another successful quarter reporting both record revenues and adjusted EBITDA and growing our cash and equivalents by approximately $97 million to approximately $418 million,” said Keith Jackson, ON Semiconductor president and CEO. “We also closed the acquisition of Catalyst Semiconductor on October 10, 2008. We believe Catalyst’s business will provide an opportunity for incremental revenue and cash flow growth and will benefit from our manufacturing capabilities, supply chain, broad sales channels and strong customer relationships. Over the last month, we have seen an impact on our business from the current economic headwinds and global credit tightening. Our customers have expressed more caution on their business outlook and we have adjusted our forecasts accordingly. Given the macro economic uncertainty, we remain focused on generating strong cash flows by continuing to execute on our manufacturing and operational cost reduction programs, and disciplined approach to capital expenditures.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2008 OUTLOOK
“Based upon product booking trends, backlog levels, manufacturing services revenues and estimated turns levels, we anticipate that total revenues will be approximately $500 to $550 million in the fourth quarter of 2008,” Jackson said. “Over the last several weeks, we have seen a dramatic appreciation of the U.S. dollar. This change in currency negatively impacts our revenues by approximately $10 million sequentially or approximately 2 percent and is already embedded in our overall revenue guidance. Backlog levels at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008 were down from backlog levels at the beginning of the third quarter of 2008 and represent over 95 percent of our anticipated fourth quarter 2008 revenues. We expect that average selling prices for the fourth quarter of 2008 will be down approximately two percent sequentially. The following table outlines our fourth quarter 2008 GAAP and non-GAAP outlook.”

FQ4.08 Business Outlook

* Special Items can include: stock based compensation expense; restructuring, asset impairments and other, net; in-process research and development associated with the Catalyst Semiconductor acquisition; expensing of appraised inventory fair market value (FMV) step up; amortization of intangibles; and income tax adjustments to approximate cash taxes.

** Fully Diluted Share Count can vary for among other things, the actual exercise of options or restricted stock, the incremental dilutive shares from all of the company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, and the repurchase or the issuance of stock or the sale of treasury shares. Please refer to the table on our website for potential changes to the Fully Diluted Share Count.

*** Regulation G and other provisions of the securities laws regulate the use of financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide important supplemental information to investors. We use these measures, together with GAAP measures, for internal managerial purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, we do not, and you should not, rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that – when taken together with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures that we also provide in our news releases – provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures, even if they have similar names. As a result of requests from our investor and research community, we intend to include this non-GAAP table and measures in our earnings releases covering relevant periods.
