Executive Performance Bonus Plan for Fiscal Year 2007

On December 20, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Analog Devices, Inc. (the "Company") approved the terms of an Executive
Performance Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2007 (the "Executive Bonus Plan"). All
executive officers and other senior management selected by the Chief Executive
Officer will participate in the Executive Bonus Plan. Bonus payments under the
Executive Bonus Plan are calculated and paid as follows:

     1. Each participant's Fiscal 2007 Bonus Target is obtained by multiplying
his or her Eligible Earnings by his or her Bonus Target Percentage:

o    Eligible  Earnings - the individual's  base pay during the applicable bonus
     period.

o    Bonus  Target  Percentage  - a  percentage  of  the  individual's  Eligible
     Earnings,  determined individually for each participant by the Compensation
     Committee and ranging from 35% to 160%.

     2. Each participant's Fiscal 2007 Bonus Target is then multiplied by the
Bonus Payout Factor. The Bonus Payout Factor is based on the Company's operating
profit before tax as a percentage of revenue for the applicable bonus period,
which is adjustable by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion to
exclude special items, including but not limited to: stock-based compensation
expense, restructuring-related expense, acquisition-related expense, gain or
loss on disposition of businesses, non-recurring royalty payments, and other
similar non-cash or non-recurring items. The Bonus Payout Factor can range from
zero to three.

         The product obtained by multiplying a participant's Fiscal 2007 Bonus
Target by the Bonus Payout Factor shall be the Fiscal 2007 Bonus Payment for
each participant. Each participant's Fiscal 2007 Bonus Payment can therefore be
reduced to zero, or increased by up to three times his or her Fiscal 2007 Bonus
Target.

     3. Each participant's Fiscal 2007 Bonus Payment is then subject to
adjustment by his or her Individual Payout Factor as follows. The Individual
Payout Factor can increase the calculated bonus payment by as much as 50% or
decrease the calculated bonus payment by as much as 50%, based on an evaluation
of the participant's performance against a set of individual goals that are
focused on key performance indicators, including business unit financial
performance, strategic initiatives and overall leadership. At the end of fiscal
year 2007, the Chief Executive Officer will review and assess the performance of
each of the other participants with respect to his or her goals, and provide his
recommendations thereon to the Compensation Committee. In addition, the
Compensation Committee will review and assess the Chief Executive Officer's
performance with respect to his goals. The Compensation Committee will then
determine the Individual Payout Factor for the Chief Executive Officer and each
of the other participants, based on the Committee's review and assessment of the
performance of each individual toward his or her goals.

     4. Bonus payments, if any, under the Executive Bonus Plan will be
calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter and distributed after the first
half and second half of fiscal year 2007. The Individual Payout Factor
adjustments are only assessed and calculated annually at the end of the fiscal
year. Therefore, the distribution paid after the first half of fiscal year 2007
will be based only on paragraphs 1 and 2 above. Any Individual Payout Factor
adjustments pursuant to paragraph 3 above will be assessed and calculated after
the fiscal year end for the full fiscal year and applied only to the
distribution which would be otherwise due and payable after the second half of
fiscal year 2007 using the calculation described above.

           GRANT OF OPTION: This memorandum confirms that, subject to the terms
    and conditions of the Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the
    "Plan"), the Company has granted to you (the "Optionee"), effective on the
    Date of Grant set forth below, an option to purchase shares of the Company's

    Option Exercise Price Per Share:                      $ ##.##

ALL TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO SUCH TERMS IN
THE PLAN. EXERCISE OF OPTION: The Option is exercisable as follows:

                           EXERCISE PERIOD              NUMBER OF SHARES
            -------------------------------------------------------------

                           Vesting Period #3                       #,###

    The right of exercise is cumulative, so that if the Option is not exercised
    to the maximum extent permissible during any period, it is exercisable, in
    whole or in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time
    during any subsequent period prior to the expiration or termination of the
    Option.

           TERM OF OPTION; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT:

1.   The term of the Option is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant,  subject,
     however, to the early termination provisions set forth herein.

2.   Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable by the
     Optionee (or his/her  successor in interest)  following the  termination of
     the  Optionee's   employment  only  to  the  extent  that  the  Option  was
     exercisable on or prior to the date of such termination.

3.   The Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee voluntarily  terminates
     employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries (except by reason of
     retirement after attaining age 60 as provided below) or on the date his/her
     employment  is  terminated  by the Company  without  "Cause" (as defined in
     paragraph  4), but any Option  Shares that are  exercisable  on the date of
     such termination shall continue to be exercisable for a period of three (3)
     months following such termination date.

4.   The Option shall  terminate on the date the Optionee's  employment with the
     Company  or  one of its  subsidiaries  is  terminated  by the  Company  for
     "Cause",  and all Option Shares that are then  exercisable  shall forthwith
     cease to be exercisable.  "Cause" for this purpose means unsatisfactory job

     gross negligence, disobedience or dishonesty.

5.   Upon the death of the  Optionee  while he/she is an employee of the Company
     or one of its subsidiaries,  the Option shall become exercisable in full on
     the date of death and shall continue to be  exercisable  (by the Optionee's
     successor in interest) over the remaining term of the Option.

6.   If the Optionee's  employment with the Company  terminates by reason of the
     retirement  of the  Optionee  after  attaining  age 60,  the  Option  shall
     terminate on the date of such  retirement,  but any Option  Shares that are
     exercisable on the date of such retirement shall continue to be exercisable
     over the remaining term of the Option;  provided that all  then-exercisable
     Option  Shares  held  by  such  Optionee  shall  immediately  cease  to  be
     exercisable  in the event that such  Optionee  becomes an  employee  of any
     competitor  of the Company (as  determined  in the sole  discretion  of the
     Company).

7.   If the  employment  of  the  Optionee  terminates  due  to  disability  (as
     determined by the Company),  the Option Shares that are not  exercisable as
     of the date of  disability  shall become  exercisable  on the date or dates
     (over the  remaining  term of the Option)  that they  otherwise  would have
     become exercisable if the Optionee's employment had not been terminated due
     to disability. Any Option Shares that are exercisable upon disability prior
     to giving effect to this provision  shall  continue to be exercisable  over
     the remaining term of the Option.

As used herein, the terms "employment" and "employee" shall mean and include any
one of the following relationships with the Company: director, employee,
consultant or advisor.

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE: The following payment methods may be used to purchase

     4.   Any combination of the above methods.

     NON-TRANSFERABILITY  OF OPTION:  Except as  provided by will or the laws of
descent  and  distribution,  this  Option  is  personal  and no  rights  granted
hereunder shall be transferred,  assigned,  pledged,  or hypothecated in any way
(whether by operation of law or otherwise), nor shall any such rights be subject
to execution, attachment or similar process.

     ADJUSTMENT: This Option is subject to adjustment (including with respect to
vesting of the Option Shares) upon certain changes in the Company's common stock
and  certain   other   events,   including  a  Change  in  Control  Event  or  a
Reorganization Event, as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

     WITHHOLDING  TAXES:  As a condition to the issuance of shares upon exercise
