COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado- August 30, 2005, - Simtek Corporation (OTC Bulletin
Board: SRAM), the inventor, pioneer, and world's leading supplier of advanced

it has completed the sale of the assets of its Q-Dot, Inc. subsidiary, to
Hittite Microwave Corporation (NASDAQ:HITT) for $2.2 million in cash.

on design wins for our 1 megabit nvSRAM from customers worldwide. We are
