Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Prospectus to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement as so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Prospectus. This Prospectus may contain and/or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained herein or incorporated herein by reference that are not statements of material fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.

Reference is made in particular to the discussion set forth under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 2, 1996 (the "Form 10-K") and the other reports periodically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and incorporated in this Prospectus by reference.

THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL, OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY, ANY SECURITIES OTHER THAN THE REGISTERED SECURITIES TO WHICH IT RELATES OR AN OFFER TO, OR SOLICITATION OF, ANY PERSON IN ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION WOULD BE UNLAWFUL. NEITHER THE DELIVERY OF THIS PROSPECTUS NOR ANY SALE MADE HEREUNDER SHALL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, CREATE ANY IMPLICATION THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY SINCE THE DATE HEREOF OR THAT THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS CORRECT AS OF ANY DATE SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE HEREOF. 3 6 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 (i) certain management and highly compensated employees of the Company and (ii) the non-employee directors of the Company with the opportunity to defer receipt of all or any portion 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 Participants") are the Company's non-employee directors and certain Company employees designated from time to time, by name, group or description by the Administrative Committee for the Plan. The Plan was adopted on November 3, 1995 and amended on December 3, 1996, March 11, 1997 and November 5, 1997 and permits Eligible Participants to defer (i) salary and bonuses, (ii) in the case of non-employee directors, director fees and meeting fees and (iii) the gains that would otherwise be recognized upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options held by Eligible Participants ("Deferred Option Gains") and gains that would otherwise be recognized upon the lapse or termination of the restrictions and forfeiture provisions applicable to grants of restricted stock held by Eligible Participants. Ordinarily, upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options, Eligible Participants 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 Participants are required to deliver an irrevocable election to the Company prior to the option exercise. The Eligible Participant must specify at the time the irrevocable election is made whether such election relates to (i) all the shares issuable pursuant to a specified option or (ii) only those shares issuable pursuant to the specified option which, based on the then fair market value, represents the gain that would otherwise be realized upon the option exercise (the "Gain Shares"). After the deferral election has been delivered and the option is exercised, the Company will issue to the Trust (established for the Plan by a Trust Agreement between the Company and the Trustee), in accordance with the prior election, either (i) all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such option or (ii) the Gain Shares, as the case may be, (collectively, the "Deferred Option Shares"). From time to time, certain employees of the Company are granted stock awards ("Restricted Stock Awards") that are subject to certain restrictions and/or risks of forfeiture (collectively, "Restrictions"). Ordinarily, upon the lapse or termination of such Restrictions, such employees would realize income for Federal Tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the price paid for the shares granted pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award, which is ordinarily a nominal amount, and the fair market value of the stock on the date the Restrictions lapse or terminate. The Plan allows Eligible Participants to defer the payment of the taxes which would otherwise be due at the time the Restrictions lapse or terminate ("Restricted Stock Gains"). In order to defer Restricted Stock Gains, Eligible Participants must deliver an irrevocable election to the Company prior to the date that the Restrictions on such shares lapse or terminate. After such an election has been made, the holders of such restricted shares will cause the Company to transfer such shares ("Deferred Restricted Stock Shares") to the Trust. The Trust is considered to be a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes. Deferred Option Shares and Deferred Restricted Stock Shares (collectively, "Deferred Shares") issued to the Trust are held by the 4 7 Trustee together with any other funds or assets deposited with the Trustee by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The assets of the Trust, and any earnings thereon, are held separate and apart from other funds of the Company for the uses and purposes of Plan participants. The Company's obligations with respect to an Eligible Participant's Deferred Shares are unfunded and unsecured promises by the Company to pay in the future the value of the Deferred Shares, adjusted either up or down to reflect the value of an equal amount of shares of the Company's Common Stock and in certain cases the performance of selected investment measurement options if available to a participant during the deferral period in accordance with the Plan and the Trust Agreement. Deferred Shares arising out of stock options granted, or Restricted Stock Awards issued, by the Company on or prior to July 23, 1997 may be sold from time to time in the open market for the account of the Trust when an Eligible Participant advises the Company to change his/her investment from Analog to one or more of the several investment measurement options available to Plan participants or whenever the Trustee deems such sale to be appropriate. The Deferred Compensation Plan does not permit Eligible Participants to change their investment from Analog Common Stock with respect to stock options granted after July 23, 1997 or Restricted Stock Awards issued after July 23, 1997. After Deferred Shares are sold, investment earnings credited to the Eligible Participant's account will be indexed to the mutual funds or indices selected by the Eligible Participant. 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 PNC Bank, N.A., Retirement and Investment Services, One Oliver Plaza, 210 6th Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-2602, Attention: Trust Officer. 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 Participants elect to defer the recognition of gains from their exercise of stock options and Restricted Stock Awards 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 5 8 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 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 LLP, 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 November 2, 1996 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. 6 9 PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 14.

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 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. II-1 10 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) 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, 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. II-2 11 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Norwood, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on the 12th day of November, 1997.

        THIS AGREEMENT made this 23rd day of October 1997, by and between Analog
Devices, Inc. ("Analog") and PNC Bank, National Association ("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 the 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 (as defined in Section 13(e) below),
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 pursuant 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. With respect to benefits attributable to the Participant and their
beneficiaries, the Company shall be solely responsible for determining the
amounts of income that are taxable and reportable, determining the nature and
amounts of taxes to be withheld and for withholding, remitting and reporting all
such income and taxes to the applicable government entities. The Trustee shall
have no duties with respect thereto.


                                       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 payments 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, Trustees 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)    The Trustee may invest in Common Stock issued by the Company. 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
acceptable to the Trustee for any asset held by the Trust. This right is
exercisable by the Company in nonfiduciary capacity without the approval or
consent of any person in a fiduciary capacity.


                                       4
   7



        (b) The Trust's assets shall be invested by the Trustee in accordance
with the written investment directions 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. The Company may designate a third party as agent
for the purposes of communicating investment directions to the Trustee and the
Trustee shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with such investment
directions. If no such directions are received by the Trustee or if a Change of
Control as 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 (b) or as otherwise provided in
this Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall have the investment powers outlined in
Appendix B, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and authority with
respect to all property constituting a part of the Trust in its discretion.



SECTION 6.
        DISPOSITION OF INCOME.

        (a) During the term of this Trust, all income received by the Trust, net
of expenses and taxes, shall be accumulated and reinvested.


                                       5

   8

SECTION 7.
        ACCOUNTING BY TRUSTEE.

        (a) Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments,
receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made,
including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between
Company and Trustee within sixty (60) days following the close of each calendar
year and within thirty (30) days after the removal or resignation of Trustee.
Trustee shall deliver to Company a written account of its administration of the
Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last preceding
year to the date of such removal or resignation, setting forth all investments,
receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it, including a
description of all securities and investments purchased and sold with the cost
or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest paid 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
respect to such acts or transactions as to which Company shall within such one
hundred and twenty (120) day period file with Trustee written objections.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee shall have the right to apply at any time
to a court of competent jurisdiction for the judicial settlement of Trustee's
account, and, in any case, it shall be necessary to join as parties thereto only
Trustee and Company; and any judgement or decree which may be entered therein
shall be conclusive upon all persons having or claiming to have any interest in
the Trust or under a Plan.



SECTION 8.
        RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE.

        (a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under
the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity
and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like
character and with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no
liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or
approval given by Company which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the
terms of the plan(s) or this Trust and is given in writing by Company, its
authorized officers, delegee or agents, and provided further, that the Trustee
shall incur no liability to any person for any action or failure to act taken
pursuant to a determination of the existence or non-existence of an event of
Insolvency pursuant to Section 3 hereunder. In the event of a dispute between
Company and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to
resolve the dispute.


                                       6
   9



        (b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in
connection with this Trust, Company agrees to indemnify Trustee against
Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily
liable for such payments. If Company does not pay such costs, expenses and
liabilities in a reasonably timely manner, Trustee may obtain payment from the
Trust.

        (c) Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for
Company or the Trustee generally) with respect to any of its duties or
obligations hereunder.

        (d) Trustee may with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment
advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in
performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder, and to pay any such
person or entity their reasonable fees for its services.

        (e) Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on
Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein,
provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust,
Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the
Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a
different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the
proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.

        (f) However, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(e) above,
Trustee may loan to Company the proceeds of any borrowing against an insurance
policy held as an asset of the Trust.

        (g) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust
Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have any power that could give
this Trust the objective of carrying on a business and dividing the gains
therefrom, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-2 of the Procedure and
Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.

        (h) Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Trustee from and against
any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability (including reasonable attorney
fees) it incurs arising out of any alleged or actual act, or failure to act, on
the part of the Trustee pursuant to the direction of the Company, its authorized
officers, delegees or agents, any Plan administrator or any Investment Manager.


                                       7
   10



        (i)    Communications and instructions

               (i)      Any action by Company pursuant to this Trust Agreement
shall be satisfactorily evidenced to Trustee by a certified copy of a resolution
of the Board of Directors of Company or by any certificate, notice, order,
request, instruction, direction or objection of Company. After the execution of
this Trust Agreement, Company shall promptly file with Trustee a certified list
of the names and specimen signatures of the officers of Company and any delegee
or third party agents authorized to act for it or with respect to the Plan
including without limitation any third party authorized to communicate
investment directions to the Trustee on behalf of the Company pursuant to
Section 5(b) herein. Company shall promptly notify trustee of the addition or
deletion of any person's name to or from such list. Until actual receipt by
Trustee of notice that any such person is no longer authorized to so act,
Trustee may continue to rely on the authority of any such person.

               (ii)     A plan administrator may certify to Trustee the names of
persons authorized to act for it in relation to Trustee. Until actual receipt by
Trustee of notice that any such person is no longer authorized to so act,
Trustee may continue to rely on the authority of any such person.

               (iii)    Any certificates, notices, orders, requests,
instructions, directions, or objections of Company, any plan administrator, any
Investment Manager or any other person authorized to act pursuant to this Trust
Agreement shall be satisfactorily evidenced to Trustee by a signed, written
statement (provided, however, that Trustee may, in its sole discretion, accept
oral notices, orders, requests, instructions, directions and objections subject
to confirmation in writing), and Trustee shall be fully protected for acting in
accordance therewith or for failing to act in the absence thereof.

               (iv)     Communications to Trustee shall be sent to Trustee's
office or to such other address as Trustee shall specify in writing, and such
communications to Trustee shall be binding upon any certificate, notice, order,
request, instruction, direction or objection purporting to have been signed on
behalf of any authorized person which Trustee believes to be genuine and to have
been executed by any such person.

               (v)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Trustee
shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any directions or
instructions with respect to securities transactions (including, without
limitation, the affirmation and/or confirmation of such transactions) received
by it through a system or arrangement for the coordination of securities
transaction settlements executed by the Depository Trust Company or by any other
central securities depository, securities clearing organization or book-entry
system which serves to link investment managers, securities brokers and
custodian banks, pursuant to an agreement entered into by Trustee and an
Investment Manager or Company, as the case may be, to the same extent as if any
such directions or instructions were in writing.

        (j) Company shall maintain and furnish Trustee with such reports,
documents and information as shall be required by Trustee to perform its duties
and discharge its responsibilities under this Trust Agreement, including without
limitation a certified copy of the Plan and any and all amendments thereto and
written reports setting forth the name, address, date of birth, and social
security and tax identification numbers of Plan participants and their
beneficiaries, and a listing of Plan participants' accrued benefit under the
Plan. Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the most recent reports, documents
and information furnished to it by Company. Company shall be required to notify
Trustee as to the termination of the employment of any Plan participant by
death, retirement or otherwise.



SECTION 9.
        COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE.

        Company shall pay all administrative and Trustee's fees and expenses. If
not so paid, the fees and expenses shall be paid from the Trust; provided
however, that in the event the assets of the Trust are insufficient to pay any
such fees or expenses, Company shall promptly pay any such fees or expenses.



SECTION 10.
        RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE.

        (a) Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to Company, which
shall be effective sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice unless Company
and Trustee agree otherwise.

successor Trustee, all assets shall subsequently be transferred to the successor
Trustee. The transfer shall be completed within ninety (90) days after receipt
of notice of resignation, removal or transfer, unless Company extends the time
limit.

        (d) If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be appointed, in
accordance with Section 11 hereof, by the effective date of resignation or
removal under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this section. If no such appointment has
been made, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for
appointment of a successor or for instructions. All expenses of Trustee in

(b) hereof, Company may appoint any third party, such as a bank trust department
or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as
a successor to replace Trustee upon resignation or removal. The appointment
shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new Trustee, who shall have
all of the rights and powers of the former Trustee, including ownership rights
in the Trust assets. The former Trustee shall execute any instrument necessary
or reasonably requested by Company or the successor Trustee to evidence the
transfer.

        (b) The successor Trustee need not review the records and acts of any
prior Trustee and may retain or dispose of existing Trust assets, subject to
Sections 7 and 8 hereof. The successor Trustee shall not be responsible for and
Company shall indemnify and defend the successor Trustee from any claim or
liability resulting from any action or inaction of any prior Trustee or from any
other past event, or any condition existing at the time it becomes successor
Trustee.



SECTION 12.

        (b) The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which Plan
participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits pursuant

shall be returned to the Company.

        (c) Upon written approval of Plan participants or beneficiaries entitled

        (d) No section of this Trust Agreement may be amended by Company for
three (3) years following a Change of Control.

                      RABBI TRUST ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES




                                  INTRODUCTION



Analog Devices, Inc. ("Analog") has entered into a Trust Agreement with PNC
Bank, National Association ("PNC Bank") to create a trust (the "Trust") to aid
Analog, except in the case of insolvency or bankruptcy, in meeting its
obligations under the terms and conditions of certain unfunded employee benefit
plans. These plans have been established and maintained for the benefit of a
select group of management and/or highly compensated employees and former
employees of Analog. Analog or its benefits consultant, The Todd Organization of
Pittsburgh, Inc. ("Consultant") will provide PNC Bank 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, PNC Bank, and the Plan's participants understand
that PNC Bank 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 PNC Bank prior to a Change
in Control, shall govern the actions of Analog and the Trustee subsequent to
such Change in Control. Where these 



                                       13

   16

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.



DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST


The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust with the corpus and income of the
Trust treated as assets and income of Analog for federal income tax purposes.
The Trust shall be irrevocable, and except as provided in Section 3 of the
Trust, Trust assets shall be held for the exclusive purpose of providing
benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section
3 of the Trust, no part of the income or corpus of the Trust shall be
recoverable by or for the benefit of Analog.

COVERED PLANS


The Trust will cover the Analog employee benefit plan listed below. This plan is
intended to be a "non-qualified" plan covering a select group of present and/or
former highly compensated or management employees, and to be "unfunded" for
ERISA and tax purposes. The list of covered plans may be modified by Analog from
time to time, prior to a Change in Control, as plans are added or terminated at
the discretion of Analog management.



ANALOG DEVICES, INC. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN


The corporation provides eligible executives with the opportunity to defer
compensation above the qualified plan limits and provides for employer matching
contributions denied due to government limits. The restoration portion provides
retirement benefits to the extent that contributions made under the Analog TIP
are limited by either government limits on maximum benefits (Section 415) or
government limits on the maximum amount of compensation that can be included
when determining benefits (Section 401(a) (17)).



FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL


This section is designed to provide the applicable financial assumptions to be
used by Analog and/or its consultants to determine the amount of benefits and
the present value thereof upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. These
assumptions affect the level of funds required to meet 



                                       14

                              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. These guidelines shall be effective only to
the extent that the Company or its delegee or agent fails to provide investment
directions to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Trust Agreement or if
a Change of Control occurs.

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 Mangers'
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.

RESTRICTIONS

In the event that the Company fails to provide the Trustee with written
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:

        1.              The trust may make unlimited purchases of U.S. Treasury
               obligations or issues of agencies guaranteed by the U.S.
               Government.

        2.              The trust may invest no more than 25% of the portfolio
               at market in Commercial Paper, and no more than 5% of the
               portfolio at market in the securities of a single company.
               Commercial Paper must have S&P "A-1" or Moody's "P-1" rating or
               higher.

        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 



                                       16

   19

               mutual funds whose stated investment objective is to replicate
               the return of the S&P 500 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.

        7.              Investment managers are prohibited from investing in
               private placements, from speculating in fixed income or interest
               rate futures, and from arbitrage or other specialized
               instruments.

        individual or group annuity contracts and to take such action with
        respect to such contracts as the Trustee deems necessary to carry out
        the terms of the Trust Agreement, including but not limited to payment
        of insurance premiums and repayment of any policy loans.

2.             To make, execute, and deliver, as Trustee, any and all deeds,

3.             To cause the securities or other property which may comprise the
        trust estate, in whole or in part, to be registered in the name of

        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.

4.             To open and maintain one or more separate brokerage accounts for
        the proper investment of the securities of the trust estate; and to
        instruct any broker or brokerage firm utilized by Trustee to open and
        maintain such separate brokerage accounts.

5.             To exercise, or refrain from the exercise of, all conversion,
        subscription, voting and other rights of any nature pertaining to any
        securities of any corporation held as part of the trust estate, 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 for any fiscal year capital gains incurred during
        such fiscal year).

   20



7.             To invest all or any portion of the Trust assets in registered
        investment companies or mutual funds for which the Trustee or its
        affiliates receive compensation for providing investment advisory,
        custodial, transfer agency or other services. (Analog acknowledges that
        interests in such registered investment companies or mutual funds are
        not bank deposits and are not insured by, guaranteed by, obligations of,
        or otherwise supported by the United States of America, the Federal
        Deposit Insurance Corporation, PNC Bank, National Association, or any
        bank or government entity.)

8.             To accept by transfer or conveyance any property, satisfactory to
        Trustee, from any source, to be added to and become a part of the trust
        estate, subject to all of the terms and conditions provided in this
        Trust Agreement.

9.             To maintain in the trust estate an amount or amounts of
        uninvested cash, from time to time, as may be reasonably necessary to
        provide for future payments to be made from the trust estate.

10.            To commence or defend suits or legal proceedings and to represent
        the Trust in suits or legal proceedings in any court or before any other
        body or tribunal provided, however, that Trustee shall have no
        obligation to take any such action unless it shall be first indemnified
        to its satisfaction.

11.            To appoint one or more individuals or corporations as a custodian
        or subtrustee of any property, and as part of its reimbursable expenses
        under this Trust Agreement, to pay the reasonable compensation and
        expenses of any such custodian or subtrustee.

12.            Generally to do all acts, exclusive of acts involving  
        administration of the Plan, which Trustee may deem necessary or
        desirable for the protection of the Trust.



              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



                                       18

   21

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.

Control has taken place, to the calculation of benefits, to the transfer of
dollars and benefit detail.

This section spells out these procedures and lists those parties responsible for
completion/execution.

CHANGE IN CONTROL IS THREATENED

Once a Change in Control is threatened, as determined by the CEO and General
Counsel, the Change in Control task force will be mobilized. This task force is
