SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwire) — 01/04/13 — Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: PSEM), a worldwide supplier of high-speed integrated circuits and frequency control products, today announced updated revenue guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, which ended December 29, 2012.
Pericom now expects sales to be $29.0 to $30.0 million compared to previous guidance of $30.5 to $34.5 million. Guidance for gross margins and operating expenses remain unchanged.
