Net revenues for the third quarter are expected to be in the range of $39.6 to $40.7 million, which is at the upper end of the Company's previously-provided revenue outlook range.
"For the various end markets we serve, we continue to experience positive business trends despite the seasonally slower March quarter," said Alex Hui, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This is especially true of our high-speed serial protocol solutions and demonstrated by the ramp of high-end desktop PCs and notebook programs where we continue to achieve important design wins."
