                                   THE COMPANY

     Analog is a semiconductor company that designs, manufactures and markets
precision high-performance integrated circuits ("ICs") used in analog and
digital signal processing ("DSP"). Virtually all of Analog's products are
components, which are typically incorporated by original equipment manufacturers
("OEMs") in a wide range of equipment and systems for use in communications,
computer, industrial, instrumentation, military/aerospace, automotive and
high-performance consumer electronics applications.

     Analog's principal products include general-purpose, standard-function
analog and mixed-signal ICs and DSP ICs. DSP ICs include general-purpose digital
signal processing ICs and application-specific devices that typically
incorporate analog and mixed-signal circuitry and a DSP core.

                           DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     Analog has established the Analog Devices, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan
(the "Plan") to provide (i) certain management and highly compensated employees
of Analog and (ii) the non-employee directors of Analog with the opportunity to
defer receipt of all or any portion of their compensation payable for services
rendered to Analog. The obligations of Analog under such deferral arrangements
(the "Obligations") are unfunded and unsecured general obligations of Analog 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 Analog'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 Analog's common stock issued upon the option exercise. To defer
the Deferred Option Gains, Eligible Participants are required to deliver an
irrevocable election to Analog 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, Analog will
issue to the Trust (established for the Plan by a Trust Agreement between Analog
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 Analog 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 Analog 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 Analog to transfer such shares ("Deferred
Restricted Stock Shares") to the Trust.


                                        4
   5


     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 Trustee
together with any other funds or assets deposited with the Trustee by Analog
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
Analog for the uses and purposes of Plan participants. Analog's obligations with
respect to an Eligible Participant's Deferred Shares are unfunded and unsecured
promises by Analog 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
Analog'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 Analog 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 Analog 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. Analog 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 Analog in meeting its future Obligations.

     Analog has filed with the Commission Registration Statements on Form S-8
under the Securities Act with respect to Analog's Obligations under the Plan
(Registration Statement Nos. 33-64849 and 333-48243). Analog has filed with
Commission an additional Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to an
increase in Analog's Obligations under the Plan as of the date of this
prospectus.

     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 Analog 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 Analog's general creditors under
federal and state laws in the event of Analog's insolvency.

     Analog 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
Analog.


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Shares of common stock covered hereby may be offered and sold by Analog 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 Analog 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


                                        5
   6


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 Analog, as amended (the "Articles
of Organization") provide that the directors and officers of Analog shall be
indemnified by Analog 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 Analog. In
addition, the Articles of Organization provide that the directors of Analog will
not be personally liable for monetary damages to Analog 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 Analog by
Hale and Dorr LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.
