                     Analog Devices Reports Results for the
                       First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2006

    NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2006--Analog Devices,
Inc. (NYSE: ADI):

    --  Board of Directors declares dividend of $0.12 per share for
        the quarter.

    --  Financial results for the first quarter and guidance for the
        second quarter to be discussed on conference call today at
        4:30 pm.

    Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in
high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications,
today announced revenue of $621.3 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006, an increase of 7% compared to the same period one year
ago and approximately even with the immediately prior quarter's $622.1
million in revenue.

    Net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
was $120.6 million for the first quarter, compared to $107.4 million
in the same period one year ago and $68.3 million in the immediately
prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.32 for the
first quarter, compared to $0.28 for the same period one year ago and
$0.18 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. The results for the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 include expenses of $6.9 million associated
with the previously announced restructuring actions and $20.6 million
of stock option expense which together impacted diluted EPS by $0.05.

    The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 of $0.12 per outstanding share of common stock.
The dividend will be paid on March 15, 2006 to all shareholders of
record at the close of business on February 24, 2006.

    Gross margins for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were $360.8
million or 58.1% of sales. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, gross
margins were reduced by $6.9 million, or 1.1% of sales, related to
stock option expense and previously announced manufacturing
restructuring-related expense.

    Operating profits for the first quarter totaled $132.2 million, or
approximately 21.3% of sales, which includes $27.5 million, or 4.4% of
sales, for stock option expense and previously announced
restructuring-related expense.

    Cash flow from operations totaled $175.3 million, or approximately
28.2% of sales for the first quarter. Capital expenditures totaled
$20.4 million. The company repurchased approximately 3.3 million
shares of ADI common stock for $125.1 million and paid $44.1 million
in cash dividends.

    In the first quarter, inventory increased sequentially by
approximately $12 million, $2 million of which was related to stock
option expense. The remaining increase in inventory was primarily due
to the purchase of wafers from external foundries. During the quarter,
ADI's factory utilization levels were approximately the same as the
prior quarter. Days cost of sales in inventory was 118 days for the
first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to 132 days for the same period
one year ago and 115 days for the immediately prior quarter.

    Accounts receivable balances remained low, consistent with prior
quarters. Days sales in accounts receivable were 47 days for the first
quarter, compared to 51 days for the same period one year ago and 47
days for the immediately prior quarter.

    "The first quarter results were in line with our plan for the
quarter, although gross margins were somewhat stronger than planned,"
said Jerald G. Fishman, president and CEO of Analog Devices, Inc. "Our
highest sequential growth came from sales to communications and
industrial customers. In line with normal seasonal trends, sales to
consumer and computer customers were down sequentially.

    "Revenue from industrial customers grew 16% in the first quarter
of fiscal 2006 compared to the same period last year. These customers
represent a diverse collection of instrumentation, medical, factory
process control, test equipment, automotive, and defense applications.
We believe that this growth reflects generally good worldwide economic
conditions which are stimulating higher capital spending at industrial
companies with strong cash flow. In the aggregate, sales to this broad
group of industrial customers represented 41% of sales in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006.

    "Revenue from consumer customers represented 15% of sales during
the first quarter and grew 18% year-over-year, fueled by a broad array
of audio and video products sold to leading consumer customers around
the world. ADI is well positioned in digital cameras, flat screen
televisions and monitors, as well as a range of stereo and home
theatre sound systems.

    "In the first quarter of 2006, revenue from computer customers
represented 13% of sales and declined year-over-year. The computer
market has lagged for ADI as we continue to address the market for
portable products but still have an installed base of slower growing
desktop products. Clearly computer products and the power management
products, in particular, which account for a high percentage of our
sales to computer customers, represent growth opportunities for ADI
going forward.

    "Overall, revenue from communications customers, which represented
31% of sales, grew slightly compared to the first quarter one year
ago. Growth in sales of products used in infrastructure equipment for
wireless, broadband, and optical networking was partially offset by a
decline in sales to wireless handset customers.

    "In the first quarter, analog product revenue was 11% above the
same period one year ago, 2% above the immediately prior quarter, and
represented 82% of total sales. Revenue from general-purpose DSP
products, which represented approximately 7% of ADI's total revenue,
grew 19% year-over-year. In aggregate, DSP product revenue represented
18% of first quarter sales, declined 9% compared to the same period
one year ago and declined 8% from the immediately prior quarter."

    Regarding the near-term outlook, Mr. Fishman said, "Orders were
strong in the first quarter, particularly for our analog products. As
a result, we are planning for 5% to 6% sequential sales growth in our
analog products, driven by good seasonal strength from industrial,
consumer, and communications customers. This will be somewhat offset
by a sequential decline in sales of DSP products, primarily as a
result of our divestiture of the DSP-based DSL (digital subscriber
line) ASIC and network processor products, which represented
approximately $12 million of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal
2006. As a result, we are planning for second quarter revenue in the
range of $635 to $650 million.

    "We are also planning for gross margins to continue to improve
during the second quarter. Our plan is for operating margins to
improve sequentially and for diluted EPS to be $0.34-$0.36, which
includes approximately $0.05 of previously announced
restructuring-related expense and stock option expense.

    "We are also expecting the previously announced sale of the
DSP-based DSL ASIC and network processor products to close in the near
future, and are anticipating the recognition of a small gain on the
sale during the second quarter. This gain is not included in the
diluted EPS estimate mentioned above."

    ADI began expensing stock-based compensation in the first quarter
of 2006. The company has provided a table of supplemental information

Relations" which includes estimates of the impact of stock option
expense and the impact of previously announced restructuring-related
expenses on the company's 2006 quarterly financial statements.

near-term outlook via webcast, accessible from www.analog.com, today
beginning at 4:30 pm EST. Investors who prefer to join by telephone
