Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Analog Devices Inc. (the "Company") filed its Fiscal 2005 Bonus Plan ("Bonus
Plan"), which applies to all employees, including Named Executive Officers of
the Company, as an exhibit to the Company's 10-Q for the quarter ended January
29, 2005. The Bonus Plan is based on the Company's operating profit before taxes
("OPBT") as a percentage of the Company's fiscal quarter sales. During the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, as previously disclosed, the Company recorded
special charges related to restructuring actions. The Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors has determined that these charges should, consistent with
past practice, be excluded from OBPT for purposes of calculating the bonus for
the second half of fiscal 2005. The Named Executive Officers of the Company were
awarded the following bonuses for the second half of fiscal 2005:
