Ladies and Gentlemen:
         
         We have assisted in the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.16 2/3 par value per
share (the "Shares"), of Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
"Company"), issuable under The Investment Partnership Plan ( formerly the
Choice Pay Plan)(the "Plan").
         
         We have examined the Restated Articles of Organization and the By-Laws
of the Company, and all amendments thereto, the Registration Statement and
originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records of meetings
of the directors and shareholders of the Company, and such other documents and
instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinions expressed below.
         
         In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals
of such latter documents.
         
         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Shares covered by the Registration Statement to be issued under the Plan have
been duly and validly authorized for issuance, and when issued and paid for in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
         
         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
         
                                       Very truly yours,
