THE COMPANY
The Company designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of
high-performance linear, mixed-signal and digital integrated circuits
("ICs") that address a wide range of real-world signal processing
applications. The Company's principal products include general-purpose,
standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SLICs"), special-purpose
linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SPLICs") and digital signal processing ICs
("DSP ICs"). The Company also manufactures and markets devices using
assembled product technology.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has established the Analog Devices, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") to provide certain management and highly
compensated employees and directors of the Company with the opportunity to
defer receipt of portions of their compensation payable for services
rendered to the Company. The obligations of the Company under such deferral
arrangements (the "Obligations") are unfunded and unsecured general
obligations of the Company to pay in the future the value of the deferred
compensation adjusted to reflect the performance, whether positive or
negative, of selected investment measurement options chosen by each
participant during the deferral period in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. Eligible participants in the Plan ("Eligible Employees") are
designated from time to time, by name, group or description by the
Administrative Committee for the Plan.
The Plan, adopted on November 3, 1995, was amended by the Board of
Directors on December 3, 1996 to permit Eligible Employees to defer not
only salary and bonuses but also the gains that would otherwise be
recognized upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options held by
Eligible Employees ("Deferred Option Gains").
Ordinarily, upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options, Eligible
Employees would be required to recognize, for federal income tax purposes,
an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock issued upon the option
exercise. To defer the Deferred Option Gains, Eligible Employees are
required to deliver an irrevocable election to the Company prior to the
option exercise. After the deferral election has been delivered and the
option is exercised, the Company will issue to the Trust (established for
the Deferred Compensation Plan by a Trust Agreement between the Company and
the Trustee), that number of shares of Common Stock which, based on the
then fair market value, represents the gain that would otherwise be
realized upon the option exercise. The Trust is
-5-
7
considered to be a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. Such
shares shall be held by the Trustee together with any other funds or assets
deposited with the Trustee by the Company pursuant to the terms of the
Trust Agreement.
The assets of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, shall be held
separate and apart from other funds of the Company for the uses and
purposes of Plan participants. The Company's obligation with respect to an
Eligible Employee's Deferred Option Gains is an unfunded and unsecured
promise by the Company to pay in the future the value of the Deferred
Option Gains, adjusted either up or down to reflect the performance of
selected investment measurement options available to each participant
during the deferral period in accordance with the Plan and the Trust
Agreement. Shares of the Company's Common Stock issued with respect to
Deferred Option Gains shall be sold from time to time in the open market
for the account of the Trust when an Eligible Employee advises the Company
to change his/her investment from Analog Common Stock to one or more of the
several investment measurement options available to Plan participants.
After such stock is sold, investment earnings credited to the Eligible
Employee's account will be indexed to the mutual funds or indices selected
by the Eligible Employee. The Company is not actually required to invest
the deferred compensation in the types of funds specified by a Plan
participant. However, such use of the Trust may assist the Company in
meeting its future Obligations.
The Company has filed with the Commission a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 under the Securities Act with respect to the Company's Obligations
under the Plan (Registration Statement No. 33-64849).
The address of the Trustee is Boatmens' Trust Company, Attention: John
Bascio, LBT 970, P.O. Box 14737, St. Louis, MO 63178-4737.
USE OF PROCEEDS
As set forth under "Deferred Compensation Plan," the proceeds from the
sale of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be held by the Trustee
separate and apart from other funds of the Company and applied for the use
and purposes of participants in the Plan. Such proceeds, together with
other assets held by the Trust, shall be subject to the claims of the
Company's general creditors under federal and state laws in the event of
the Company's insolvency.
The Company cannot determine the number of shares of Common Stock
which will be sold pursuant to this Prospectus because that number is
dependent upon the extent to which Eligible Employees
-6-
8
elect to defer the recognition of gains from their exercise of stock
options granted by the Company.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Shares of Common Stock covered hereby may be offered and sold by the
Company for the account of the Trust. Such sales may be made on the New
York Stock Exchange in open market transactions including one or more of
the following methods: (a) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal for
resale on the open market by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant
to this Prospectus; (b) ordinary open market brokerage transactions and
open market transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers; and (c)
block trades in which a broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell on
the open market the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion
of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction. In effecting
sales, broker-dealers engaged to sell the shares may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers will receive commissions or
discounts from the Company in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to
the sale.
In offering the shares of Common Stock covered hereby, any
broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act
in connection with such sales, and the compensation of such broker-dealers
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
This offering will terminate on the date on which all shares offered
hereby have been sold.
INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Restated Articles of Organization of the Company, as amended (the
"Articles of Organization") provide that the directors and officers of the
Company shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent
authorized by Massachusetts law, as it now exists or may in the future be
amended, against all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with
service for or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Articles of
Organization provide that the directors of the Company will not be
personally liable for monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their
fiduciary duty as directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is
-7-
9
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Hale and Dorr, Boston, Massachusetts.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements and schedule of Analog Devices,
Inc. appearing in Analog Devices, Inc.'s Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the
year ended October 28, 1995 have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon included therein
and incorporated herein by reference. Such financial statements and
schedule are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report
given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 14. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.
The following table sets forth the various expenses in connection with
the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered. All

registration fee.

Legal Fees and Expenses.............................. 12,000
Miscellaneous........................................ 2,489
Total................................................ $30,000
ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended
(the "Articles of Organization") provides for indemnification of directors
and officers to the full extent permitted under Massachusetts law. Section
67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request
of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses
incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is
threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person
shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the corporation, provided that, no indemnification
shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 67.
Article 6A also provides for indemnification of directors and officers
of the Registrant against liabilities and expenses in connection with any
legal proceedings to which they may be made a party or with which they may
become involved or threatened by reason of having been an officer or
director of the Registrant or of any other organization at the request of
the Registrant. Article 6A generally provides that a director or officer of
the Registrant (i) shall be indemnified by the Registrant for all expenses
of such legal proceedings unless he has been adjudicated not to have acted
in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best
interests of the Registrant, and (ii) shall be indemnified by the
Registrant for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement and compromise of such
II-1
11
proceedings. No indemnification will be made to cover costs of settlements
and compromises if the Board determines by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum is not
obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the
Registrant), that such settlement or compromise is not in the best
interests of the Registrant.
Article 6A permits the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action in advance of its final
disposition, subject to receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified person
to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is
not entitled to indemnification under the Articles of Organization. No
advance may be made if the Board of Directors determines, by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum
is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the
Registrant), that such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his action was in the best interest of the Registrant.
Article 6D of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides that
no director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 61 or 62 of Chapter 156B, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant has directors and officers liability insurance for the
benefit of its directors and officers.
ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.
See Exhibit Index included immediately preceding the Exhibits to this
Registration Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
II-2
12
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions
described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action,
II-3
13
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

TRUST AGREEMENT
---------------
THIS AGREEMENT made this 11th day of December, 1995, by and between
Analog Devices, Inc. ("Analog") and Boatmens' Trust Company ("Trustee);
WHEREAS, Analog and certain of its affiliates (collectively "Company")
have adopted the non-qualified deferred compensation plan(s) as listed in
Appendix A (the "Plans");
WHEREAS, Company has incurred or expects to incur liability under the
terms of such Plan(s) with respect to the individuals participating in such
Plan(s);
WHEREAS, Company wishes to establish a Trust (hereinafter called
"Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein,
subject to the claims of Company's creditors in the event of Company's
insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and their
beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plan(s);
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall
constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the
Plan(s) as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees
for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA");
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Company to make contributions to the
Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of
its liabilities under the Plan(s);
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby establish the Trust and agree
that the Trust shall be comprised, held and disposed of as follows:
SECTION 1.
- ---------
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST.
(a) Company hereby deposits with Trustee in Trust $______, which shall
become the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by
Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor Trust, of which
Company is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J,
chapter 1, subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
shall be construed accordingly.
-1-
4
(d) The principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon shall be held
separate and apart from other funds of Company and shall be used exclusively for
the uses and purposes of Plan participants and general creditors as herein set
forth. Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim
on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights
created under the Plan(s) and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured
contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against Company.
Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Company's general
creditors under federal and state law in the event of insolvency, as defined in
Section 3(a) herein.
(e) Upon a Change of Control, Company shall, as soon as possible, but
in no event longer than thirty (30) days following the Change of Control, as
defined herein, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that
is sufficient to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary the benefits to which
Plan participants or their beneficiaries would be entitled purusant to the terms
of the Plan(s) as of the date on which the Change of Control occurred.
(f) The Plan shall be administered by a plan administrator appointed by
Company or, in the event that no such plan administrator is appointed, by
Company, and Trustee shall not be responsible in any respect for the
administration of the Plan.
(g) Company hereby represents that it has the requisite authority and
is empowered to appoint Trustee to act as trustee with respect to the Plan and
to enter into this Trust Agreement with Trustee.
SECTION 2.
- ---------
PAYMENTS TO PLAN PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES.
(a) Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Trustee a
schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect
of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula
or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so
payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or
available under the Plan(s)), and the time of commencement for payment of such
amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments to the
Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment
Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of
any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with
respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s) and
shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine
that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by Company.
-2-
5
(b) The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her
beneficiaries to benefits under the Plan(s) shall be determined by Company or
such party as it shall designate under the Plan(s), and any claim for such
benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the
Plan(s).
(c) Company may make payment of benefits directly to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the
Plan(s). Company shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of
benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to Plan participants or
their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any
earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance
with the terms of the Plan(s), Company shall make the balance of each such
payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Company where principal and
earnings are not sufficient.
SECTION 3.
- ---------
TRUST RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING PAYMENTS TO TRUST BENEFICIARY WHEN
COMPANY IS INSOLVENT.
(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants
and their beneficiaries if the Company is insolvent. Company shall be considered
"insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Company is unable to pay
its debts as they become due, or (ii) Company is subject to a pending proceeding
as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided
in Section 1(d) hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject
to claims of general creditors of Company under federal and state law as set
forth below:
(1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of
Analog shall have the duty to inform Trustee in writing of Company's
insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of Company alleges in
writing to Trustee that Company has become insolvent, Trustee shall
determine whether Company is insolvent and, pending such determination,
Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants or
their beneficiaries.
(2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Company's
insolvency, or has received notice from Company or a person claiming to
be a creditor alleging that Company is insolvent, Trustee shall have no
duty to inquire whether Company is insolvent. Trustee may in all events
rely on such evidence concerning Company's solvency as may be furnished
to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making
a determination concerning Company's solvency.
-3-
6
(3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Company is
insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan participants or
their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the
benefit of Company's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement
shall in any way diminish any rights of Plan participants or their
beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Company
with respect to benefits due under the Plan(s) or otherwise.
(4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of
this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Company is
not insolvent (or is no longer insolvent).
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee
discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b)
hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan
participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan(s) for the
period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to
Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Company in lieu of the payments
provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.
SECTION 4.
- ---------
PAYMENTS TO COMPANY.
Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, Company shall have no right or
power to direct Trustee to return to Company or to divert to others any of the
Trust assets before all payment of benefits have been made to Plan participants
and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan(s).
SECTION 5.
- ---------
INVESTMENT AUTHORITY.
(a) In no event may Trustee invest in securities (including stock
or rights to acquire stock) or obligations issued by Company, other than a de
minimis amount held in common investment vehicles in which Trustee invests. All
rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the
person designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest
with Plan participants. Company shall have the right, at anytime, and from time
to time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of equal fair market value
for any asset held by the Trust.
(b) The Trust's assets shall be invested by the Trustee in
accordance with the written investment guidelines provided, or caused to be
provided, from time to time to the Trustee by the Investment Committee appointed
by the Board of Directors of the Company. If no such guidelines are received by
the Trustee or if a Change of Control as
-4-
7
hereinafter defined occurs, the assets of the Trust shall be invested in such
investments as determined by the Trustee in accordance with powers contained
herein.
(c) Company may from time to time appoint one or more investment
managers (each such investment manager is referred to as an "Investment
Manager") to manage and invest any part or all of the assets of the Trust and,
with respect to such assets, to direct Trustee with respect to effecting
investment transactions on behalf of the Trust and exercising such other powers
as may be granted to an Investment Manager hereunder. Company shall advise
Trustee in writing of the appointment, removal or resignation of an Investment
Manager and such notice shall remain in force, and Trustee shall be fully
protected in relying upon such notice, until receipt of written notice of
revocation thereof or amendment thereto. Any such Investment Manager may direct
Trustee to invest and reinvest that portion of the Trust under the direction of
such Investment Manager in any securities or other property (including, without
limitation, any mutual, common or commingled investment fund maintained by an
Investment Manager or by Trustee or any affiliate of Trustee). In each case
where such appointment is made, Company shall determine those assets of the
Trust to be allocated to the Investment Manager from time to time and shall
issue appropriate instructions in writing to Trustee with respect thereto.
Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to review or question any direction
of any Investment Manager, or otherwise evaluate the performance of any
Investment Manager, or to make recommendations with respect to any investment to
any Investment Manager, and Trustee shall be fully protected for acting in
accordance with, or failing to act in the absence of, any direction of such
Investment Manager.
(d) Except as limited by Section 5(a) or as otherwise provided in this
Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall have the investment powers outlined in
Appendix B and authority with respect to all property constituting a part of the
Trust in its discretion.

or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and
other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of
such removal or resignation, as the case may be.
(b) Upon the expiration of one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date
of filing such annual or other account, Trustee shall be forever released and
discharged from all liability and accountability to anyone with respect to the
propriety of all acts and transactions shown in such account, except with

individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or
threatened election context relating to the election of the directors of the
Company, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A under the

such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or
(iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a merger or consolidation
which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving
entity) more than 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of
the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company, (or similar transaction) in which no "person"
(as herein above defined) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of
the Company's then outstanding securities; or
(iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of
the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets.
(e) Attached to this Agreement as Appendix B are the administrative
guidelines that will govern the day to day activities of the Trustee. Such
guidelines may be amended at any time upon the mutual consent of the parties.

("Consultant") will provide Boatmen's in its capacity as ("Trustee"), on at
least an annual basis, with Administrative Guidelines (the "Guidelines") that
will be used by the Trustee in the administration of the Trusts.
These Guidelines are designed to provide Analog, its executives, consultant and
the Trustee with the necessary financial and benefit administrative direction to
be applied to the determination and administration of benefits immediately prior
to and subsequent to a change in control. In addition to administrative
guidelines, Analog and/or its benefits consultant shall maintain and will
provide the Trustee with individual participant data necessary for the Trustee
to determine, subsequent to a Change in Control, (as defined in the Trust
Agreement and hereinafter referred to as a "Change in Control") the time and
form of payment of benefits, if any, payable to individual participants. Analog,
its executives and consultant, Boatmen's, and the Plan's participants understand
that Boatmen's as Trustee is not a Party to any of the Plans and has no duties
or obligations with respect to the administration and operation of the Plans.
Moreover, the Trustee will not be responsible for the actual determination of
benefits. Benefit determination will be made by Analog and/or its consultant.
The Guidelines are to be reviewed by Analog no less frequently than yearly. The
most recent revision of the Guidelines delivered to Boatmen's, prior to a Change
in Control, shall govern the actions of Analog and the Trustee subsequent to
such Change in Control. Where these Guidelines may conflict with the Trust
Agreements, the covered plans or applicable state and federal law, the Trust
Agreements, the covered plans and/or applicable law shall govern.

INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
---------------------
PURPOSE
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide the Trustee with the necessary
parameters to establish and implement an investment policy consistent with the
objectives of the covered plans, at a level of risk the Company deems acceptable
to the participants of said plans.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Trust assets must be invested with the care, skill and diligence that a
prudent man acting in this capacity would undertake. The Investment Managers'
primary objective will be to provide stability of principal and income. The
Company prefers consistency of year-to-year results rather than subjecting the
Trust assets to a high degree of volatility.

investment guidelines or if a Change of Control as herein defined in Section
13(d) occurs, the assets of the trust shall be invested subject to the following
restrictions:

3. The trust may invest no more than 25% of the portfolio in Certificates
of Deposit and no more than 5% of the portfolio in a single bank. Any
bank used must have capitalization of $500,000,000 or more and have a
Moody's long term deposit rating of A-1 or better.
4. The trust may invest no more than 25% of the portfolio at market in
Corporate Debt issues and no more than 5% of the portfolio at market in
the debt issues of a single company. Issues purchased by the Trustee
must have an S&P's "AA" or Moody's "Aa" rating or higher.
5. The trust may invest no more than 50% of the portfolio at market in
mutual funds whose stated investment objective is to replicate the
return of the S&P500 stock index.
6. The trust may invest no more than 25% of the portfolio at market in bond
mutual funds whose stated investment objective is to replicate the
return of the Lehman Brothers Single A Intermediate Corporate Bond
Index.

2. To make, execute, and deliver, as Trustee, any and all deeds, leases, notes,
bonds, guarantees, mortgages, conveyances, contracts, waivers, releases or
other instruments in writing necessary or proper for the accomplishment of
any of the foregoing powers.

estate, in whole or in part, to be registered in the name of Trustee, or in
the name of Trustee as Trustee, or in the name of a nominee or nominees,
with or without disclosing the Trust, or (in the case of securities) to take
and keep the same unregistered and to retain them or any part of them in
such manner that they will pass by delivery.

investment of the securities of the trust estate; and to instruct any broker

corporation held as part of the trust estate, (including securities of
Trustee or any affiliate of Trustee) to participate in foreclosures,
mergers, liquidations and similar transactions with respect to such
securities; to grant proxies, discretionary or otherwise, in respect of such
securities; and to take all actions in complying with applicable securities
laws and regulations.
(6) To determine whether any money or other property coming into the hands of
Trustee shall be considered as part of the principal or income of the trust
estate, and to apportion between such principal and income any loss or
expenditure in connection with the trust estate as Trustee deems just and
equitable (including the right to specifically allocate to any beneficiary

subtrustee of any property, and as part of its reimbursable expenses under

any such custodian or subtrustee.

Plan, which Trustee may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of
the Trust.

24
ALLOCATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS AFTER A CHANGE OF CONTROL
-----------------------------------------------------
Analog intends that Trust assets be applied in proportion to the present value
of the respective accrued benefits under the covered plan. Accordingly, Analog's
consultant will annually determine the vested account balances, which represent
the present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under the covered plan,
and compare such liabilities to the value of the assets in the Trust.
Subsequent to a Change of Control and to the extent that Trust assets are not
equal to the net present value of liabilities for all benefits under the covered
plan as of the date of an accredited actuary's valuation immediately subsequent
to such Change of Control, payment of each benefit (in pay status) for the
ensuing year will be reduced based on the ratio of the present value of such
benefit to the total benefit liabilities times the percent that the total
liabilities are funded (not to exceed 100%).
To the extent that Trust assets exceed the net present value of liabilities of
all benefits under the covered plan as of any such annual valuation, the excess
assets will be applied pro rata to make up, to the extent possible, any deficits
in benefit payments to participants in prior years arising from the operations
of the preceding paragraph. Excess assets remaining after all plan liabilities
have been satisfied will revert to the Company.

submitted to us as originals, (ii) the conformity to the originals of any
documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies and (iii) the
