     Analog Devices Announces Results for Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2006


     NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 10, 2006--Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE:
ADI):

     --   Board of Directors declares quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share;

     --   Financial results for the third quarter and guidance for the fourth
          quarter of fiscal 2006 will be discussed via conference call today at
          4:30 pm.

     Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal processing applications, today announced revenue of
$663.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, an increase of
approximately 14% compared to the same period one year ago and an increase of
approximately 3% compared to the immediately prior quarter.

     Net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $144.7
million for the third quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.39 for
the third quarter.

     The GAAP results for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 include the following
items: expenses of $5.7 million included in cost of sales related to
previously-announced restructuring actions; expenses of $6.2 million included in
operating expenses related to previously-announced acquisitions; $19 million of
non-cash stock option expenses; and $16.8 million of tax benefits. In total,
these items reduced diluted EPS by $0.04 in the third quarter. Excluding these
items, diluted EPS was $0.43 in the third quarter.

     The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 of $0.16 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be
paid on September 13, 2006 to all shareholders of record at the close of
business on August 25, 2006.

     "Revenue from our broad base of industrial customers continued to be strong
in the third quarter, increasing 16% year-over-year and 3% sequentially," said
Jerald G. Fishman, ADI's president and chief executive officer. "Revenue from
communications customers increased 26% year-over-year and 6% sequentially.
Within communications, revenue from wireless base station customers was
particularly strong, while revenue from wireless handset customers was
approximately equal to the immediately prior quarter. In the third quarter,
revenue from consumer customers increased 14% year-over-year and 3% sequentially
while revenue from computer customers declined compared to the immediately prior
quarter."

     Profit Margins

     Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $390.1 million, or
58.8% of sales. In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, gross margin was reduced by
$8.7 million, or 1.3% of sales, as a result of stock option expense and
previously announced manufacturing restructuring-related expense. Excluding
these items, gross margin for the third quarter was 60.1% of sales.

     Operating profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 totaled $148.9
million, or approximately 22.4% of sales. In the third quarter of fiscal 2006,
operating profit was reduced by $30.9 million, or 4.7% of sales, as a result of
stock option expense and previously announced restructuring- and
acquisition-related expense. Excluding these items, operating profit for the
third quarter was 27.1% of sales.

     Uses of Cash

     Capital expenditures totaled $38.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal
year 2006. The company repurchased approximately 9.3 million shares of ADI
common stock for $305.2 million and paid $57.5 million in cash dividends.

     Balance Sheet

     Cash and short term investments totaled approximately $2.5 billion at the
end of the third quarter.

     In the third quarter, inventory increased by approximately $18 million
compared to the immediately prior quarter. Approximately $9 million of the
inventory increase was planned as part of the closure of the company's wafer
manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale, California, which is on schedule to be
shutdown in October of 2006. Days cost of sales in inventory was 126 days at the
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to 129 days one year ago and
125 days at the end of the immediately prior quarter.

     Days sales in accounts receivable were 49 days at the end of the third
quarter, compared to 47 days one year ago and 51 days at the end of the
immediately prior quarter.

     Revenue Analysis by Product

     During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, analog products totaled 84%
of sales and digital signal processing (DSP) products totaled 16% of sales.

     Revenue from analog products grew 15% compared to the same period one year
ago and 4% compared to the immediately prior quarter. Compared to the same
period one year ago, data converter product sales grew 12%, amplifier product
sales grew 20%, and other analog product sales grew 16%. Compared to the
immediately prior quarter, data converter product sales grew 4%, amplifier sales
grew 5%, and other analog product sales grew 2%.

     Revenue from DSP products grew 11% compared to the same period one year ago
and was flat compared to the immediately prior quarter. General-purpose DSP
product sales grew 15% compared to the same period one year ago and 11% compared
to the immediately prior quarter. Revenue from other DSP products grew 7%
compared to the same period one year ago and declined 8% compared to the
immediately prior quarter.

     Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2006

     Guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 is based on GAAP and is only
current as of today, Thursday, August 10, 2006. The company undertakes no
obligation to update its estimates. ADI has provided a table of supplemental
information with this release, and on its website, which includes estimates of
the impact of stock option expense and previously announced acquisition- and
restructuring-related expense on the company's 2006 fourth quarter financial
statements.

     Revenue in the fourth quarter is planned to be approximately equal to the
third quarter of fiscal 2006.

     Gross margin in the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately equal to
the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

     Operating expenses are planned to increase by approximately $21.9 million
compared to the third quarter, primarily due to the previously announced
restructuring and acquisition related expenses.

     Diluted EPS is planned to be $0.33 to $0.34 for the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2006, which includes approximately $0.04 for stock option expenses, $0.02
for previously announced restructuring expenses, and $0.03 for previously
announced acquisition related expenses.
