AnalogicTech Reports Financial Results for the

First Quarter 2011

Santa Clara, CA – May 2, 2011 – Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. (“AnalogicTech” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AATI), an analog semiconductor company focused on powering innovative solutions in consumer electronics, computing, and communications markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $20.5 million, compared to net revenue of $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, and $24.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net loss for the first quarter of 2011 was $7.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, including non-recurring charges for patent litigation and severance-related expenses. This compares to a GAAP net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010 and a GAAP net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, including a one-time charge for patent litigation. This compares to a non-GAAP net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2010, and a non-GAAP net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Please refer to the tables below for reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.

AnalogicTech reported gross profit of 42.8% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 48.4% for the first quarter of 2010 and 42.8% for the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP gross profit was 43.0% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 48.7% for the first quarter of 2010 and 43.1% for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company ended the quarter with $85.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments.

“We are making strong progress on improving productivity and reducing costs, and with the actions we have taken through the end of the first quarter, we have reduced our quarterly expenses by more than $2 million from the peak level in 2010,” stated Richard K. Williams, President, CEO and CTO of AnalogicTech. “We implemented these changes in order to return to sustained profitability without sacrificing growth or product innovation.”

“While driving toward profitability, we continued to advance our diversification strategy, successfully gaining traction in newer end markets such as large screen LCD TVs, low-power computing, and GreenPower. We believe that we are positioned for increasing contributions from these market segments during the second half of 2011,” concluded Mr. Williams.

Business Outlook

The following statements are based upon management’s current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. AnalogicTech undertakes no obligation to update these statements.

For the second quarter of 2011, AnalogicTech estimates net revenue in the range of $24.0 million to $26.0 million, and a net loss in the range of $0.04 to $0.02 per diluted share on a GAAP basis. The second quarter 2011 estimates include pre-tax quarterly stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million.

Non-GAAP Reporting

In addition to GAAP reporting, AnalogicTech reports net loss, gross profit and net loss per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP earnings information excludes certain items and their tax-related effects. AnalogicTech believes this non-GAAP earnings information provides meaningful insight into the Company’s ongoing operational performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors as an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. AnalogicTech also uses this information internally to evaluate and manage company operations and to determine incentive compensation. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net loss, gross profit and loss per diluted share is included in the tables below.

The non-GAAP information included in this press release is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information of other companies. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as measures of our profitability or liquidity. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made.
