partner of Hale and Dorr LLP, serves as Clerk to the Registrant.
Item 6. 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
-2-
3
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 to
the full extent permitted under Massachusetts law no director shall be liable to
the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of a 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) for unauthorized distributions or loans 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 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
Not applicable.

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
1. The 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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the 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 the
Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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 Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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 initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
2. The 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 Section 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 the 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 initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. 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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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.

Re: 1998 International Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the registration of 500,000
shares of Common Stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Analog
Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), issuable under the
Company's 1998 International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").
We have examined the Restated Articles of Organization and the By-laws of
the Company and originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of all
pertinent records of the meetings of the directors and stockholders of the
Company, the Registration Statement and such other documents relating to the
Company as we have deemed material for the purposes of this opinion.
In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and
the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.
We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any state or jurisdiction
other than the state laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the federal
laws of the United States of America.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Company has duly authorized for issuance the Shares, and the Shares, when issued
and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan and at a price per share
in excess of the par value per share for such Shares, will be validly issued,
fully-paid and nonassessable.
It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with
the offer and sale of the Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.
