Re:      1998 Stock Option Plan
         ----------------------


Ladies and 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 34,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Analog Devices,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), issuable under the Company's
1998 Stock Option 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.




                                      -6-

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.

This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and
judicial decisions, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change
in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments which
might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth
herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of
Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. In giving such
consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the Commission.



                                                Very truly yours,
