warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company

thereof, the respective principal amounts
8
of Securities set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto plus
accrued interest from June 30, 2009 to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
The Company will deliver the Securities to or as instructed by the Representative for the
accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representative against
payment of the purchase price by the Underwriters in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to
an account at a bank acceptable to the Representative drawn to the order of Analog Devices, Inc. at
the office of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, at 9:30 a.m., New York time, on June 30, 2009, or at
such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as the Representative and the
Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the Closing Date. For purposes of
Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable
settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of all the
Securities sold pursuant to the offering. A copy of the Securities so to be delivered or evidence
of their issuance will be made available for checking at the above office of Cravath, Swaine &
Moore LLP at least 24 hours prior to the Closing Date.
4. Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer
the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus.
5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:
(a) Filing of Prospectuses. The Company has filed or will file each Statutory
Prospectus (including the Final Prospectus) pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b)
not later than the second business day following the earlier of the date it is first used
or the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Company has complied and will comply
with Rule 433.
(b) Filing of Amendments; Response to Commission Requests. For so long as a
prospectus relating to the Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be)
required to be delivered under the Act by any Underwriter or dealer) the Company will
promptly advise the Representative of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration
Statement or any Statutory Prospectus at any time and will offer the Representative a
reasonable opportunity to comment on any such amendment or supplement; and the Company will
also advise the Representative promptly of (i) the filing of any such amendment or
supplement, (ii) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to the
Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Statutory Prospectus or for any
additional information, (iii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order
proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose and (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification of the Securities in any jurisdiction or the
institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose. The Company will use its
best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such
qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.
(c) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time when a prospectus
relating to the Securities is (or but for the exemption in Rule 172 would be) required to
be delivered under the Act by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of
which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or
supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify
the Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and
furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and the dealers and any other dealers upon
request of the Representative, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement
or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the
Representatives consent to, nor the Underwriters delivery of, any such amendment or
supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7
hereof.
9
(d) Rule 158. As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of
this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an
earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this
Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.
(e) Furnishing of Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Representative copies
of the Registration Statement, including all exhibits, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final
Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as
available and in such quantities as the Representative reasonably requests. The Company
will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.
(f) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will arrange for the qualification of the
Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment
under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative designates and will
continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution; provided
that the Company shall not be required to qualify to transact business or to take any
action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where
it is not currently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign
business.
(g) Reporting Requirements. For so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter
or dealer may be (or but for the exception in Rule 172 would be) required under the Act,
the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other
Underwriters, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its
annual report to stockholders for such year as is required to be filed by the Company with
the Commission; and the Company will furnish to the Representative (i) as soon as
available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed
with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (ii) from time to
time, such other information concerning the Company as the Representative may reasonably
request. However, so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of
either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with
the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system or any
successor system (EDGAR), it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the
Underwriters.
(h) Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to any
filing fees and other expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Underwriters) incurred in connection with qualification of the Securities for sale under
the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative designates pursuant to Section 5(f)
and the preparation and printing of memoranda relating thereto, any fees charged by
investment rating agencies for the rating of the Securities, costs and expenses relating to
investor presentations or any road show in connection with the offering and sale of the
Securities including, without limitation, any travel expenses of the Companys officers and
employees and any other expenses of the Company, fees and expenses in connection with the
registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act, and expenses incurred in
distributing preliminary prospectuses and the Final Prospectus (including any amendments
and supplements thereto) to the Underwriters and for expenses incurred for preparing,
printing and distributing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses to investors or prospective
investors. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section 5 and
Sections 8 and 10, the Underwriters will pay the fees of their counsel.
(i) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received in connection
with this offering in the manner described in the Use of Proceeds section of the General
Disclosure Package and, except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Company
does not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder to
repay any outstanding debt owed to any affiliate of any Underwriter.
10
(j) Absence of Manipulation. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause
or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company
to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.
(k) Restriction on Sale of Securities. The Company will not offer, sell, contract to
sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a
registration statement under the Act relating to United States dollar-denominated debt
securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a maturity of more than one year
from the date of issue, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale,
pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of the Representative for
a period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Closing Date.
6. Free Writing Prospectuses. (a) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents
and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, and each Underwriter
represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the
Representative, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would
constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would otherwise constitute a free writing
prospectus, as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free
writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representative is hereinafter referred to as
a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that
it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an issuer free writing prospectus, as
defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433
applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing where
required, legending and record keeping.
(b) Term Sheets. The Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the
Securities, containing only information that describes the final terms of the Securities
and otherwise in a form consented to by the Representative, and will file such final term
sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) following the date such final terms
have been established for the offering of the Securities. Any such final term sheet is an
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this
Agreement. The Company also consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing
prospectus that contains only (i)(x) information describing the preliminary terms of the
Securities or their offering or (y) information that describes the final terms of the
Securities or their offering and that is included in the final term sheet of the Company
contemplated in the first sentence of this subsection or (ii) other information that is not
issuer information, as defined in Rule 433, it being understood that any such free
writing prospectus referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall not be an Issuer Free
Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement.
7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several
Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities on the Closing Date will be subject to the
accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein (as though made on the Closing
Date), to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions
hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following
additional conditions precedent:
(a) Accountants Comfort Letter. The Representative shall have received letters,
dated, respectively, the date hereof and the Closing Date, of Ernst & Young LLP, confirming
that they are a registered public accounting firm and independent public accountants within

(except that, in any letter dated the Closing Date, the specified date referred to in
Exhibit A hereto shall be a date no more than three days prior to the Closing Date).
(b) Filing of Prospectus. The Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the
Commission in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and Section 5(a) hereof. No stop

11
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof

to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter, shall be contemplated by the
Commission.
(c) No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event
involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
which, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it
impractical or inadvisable to market the Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of
any debt securities of the Company by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)), or any public announcement that any
such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the
Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and
no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or
international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or
exchange controls the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the
Representative, impractical to market or to enforce contracts for the sale of the
Securities, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary
market; (iv) any suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on
the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum or maximum prices for trading on
such exchange; (v) or any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any
exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (vi) any banking moratorium declared by any
U.S. federal or New York authorities; (vii) any major disruption of settlements of

such securities are listed or (viii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities
or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any
other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the
Representative, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration,
calamity or emergency is such as to make it impractical or inadvisable to market the
Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities.
(d) Opinion of Counsel for Company. The Representative shall have received an
opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, counsel for
the Company, in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

forth in the General Disclosure Package or as described in such certificate.
The Company will furnish the Representative with such conformed copies of such opinions,
certificates, letters and documents as the Representative reasonably requests. The Representative
may in its sole discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to
the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder.
8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers,
employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an Indemnified Party),
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state
statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any
Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified
Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action,
litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a
party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this
provision with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or
omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative
specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information
furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b) Indemnification of Company. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs a
Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an Underwriter Indemnified Party),
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may
become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the
Final Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation,
investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a
party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission,
or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood
and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter
13
consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each
Underwriter: the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the third paragraph under the
caption Underwriting, the second sentence in the sixth paragraph under the caption
Underwriting, and the information contained in the twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs under the
caption Underwriting.
(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b)
above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or
(b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of
substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify
the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified
party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against
any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof
other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action
in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have
been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the
subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of,
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not
14
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters obligations in this subsection
(d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not
joint. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d).
9. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations
to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not
exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to
purchase on the Closing Date, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
for the purchase of such Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no
such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated
severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities that
such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date. If any Underwriter
or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Securities with respect to which
such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Securities that the
Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the
Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made
within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of
any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this
Agreement, the term Underwriter includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities,
agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of
the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on
behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or
directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.
If the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than
solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof or the occurrence
of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(c) hereof, the
Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the
Securities, and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section
8 hereof shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Securities have been purchased hereunder, the
representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain
in effect.
11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the
Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representative at
Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD, or, if sent to the Company,
will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at One Technology Way, Norwood,
Massachusetts 02062, Attention: General Counsel; provided, however, that any notice to an
Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such
Underwriter.
12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons
referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
13. Representation of Underwriters. The Representative will act for the several Underwriters
in connection with this financing, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representative
will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
15
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one
and the same Agreement.
15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) No Other Relationship. The Representative has been retained solely to act as an
underwriter in connection with the sale of Securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship between the Company and the Representative has been created in respect of any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the
Representative has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;
(b) Arms Length Negotiations. The price of the Securities set forth in this Agreement was
established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the
Representative and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and
accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(c) Absence of Obligation to Disclose. The Company has been advised that the Representative
and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that
differ from those of the Company and that the Representative has no obligation to disclose such
interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency
relationship; and
(d) Waiver. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may
have against the Representative for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty
and agrees that the Representative shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the
Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim
on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the
Company.
16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.

The Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture, dated as of
June 30, 2009 (the Base Indenture and together with this Supplemental Indenture, the
Indenture), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more Series of the Companys
securities.
The Company desires and has requested the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Base
Indenture to join with it in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture in order to
supplement the Base Indenture as, and to the extent, set forth herein to provide for the issuance
of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the Notes (as defined below).
Section 9.1 of the Base Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee, without the
consent of any holders of the Companys Securities, may amend or supplement certain terms and
conditions in the Base Indenture, including to provide for the issuance of and establishment of
terms of a Series of Securities as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.2 thereof.
The execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized by votes of
the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.
All conditions and requirements necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding
and legal instrument in accordance with its terms have been performed and fulfilled by the parties
hereto and the execution and delivery thereof have been in all respects duly authorized by the
parties hereto.
The Company and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal
and ratable benefit of the Holders (as defined herein) of the 5.00% Notes due July 1, 2014 (the Notes):

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION
BY REFERENCE
Section 1.1 Relationship with Base Indenture.
The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby
expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their
execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions
and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with
the express provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental
Indenture will govern and be controlling.
The Trustee accepts the amendment of the Base Indenture effected by this Supplemental
Indenture and agrees to execute the trust created by the Base Indenture as hereby amended, but only
upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, including the terms and
provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee in the
performance of the trust created by the Base Indenture, and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Trustee will not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to any
of the recitals or statements contained herein, all of which recitals or statements are made solely
by the Company, or for or with respect to (1) the proper authorization of this Supplemental
Indenture by the Company, (2) the due execution hereof by the Company or (3) the consequences
(direct or indirect and whether deliberate or inadvertent) of any amendment herein provided for,
and the Trustee makes no representation with respect to any such matters.
Further, the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or
indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God; earthquakes;
fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions,
loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications

actions; it being understood that the Trustee shall use its best efforts to resume performance as
soon as practicable under the circumstances.

the Indenture at the time of determination compounded semiannually) of the total obligations of the
lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as
well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute

it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the
terms thereof.

Period shall be extended if the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for
possible downgrade by any Rating Agency on such 60th day, such extension to last with respect to
each Rating Agency until the date on which such Rating Agency considering such possible downgrade
either (i) rates the Notes below Investment Grade or (ii) publicly announces that it is no longer

Stock or other Voting Stock into which the Companys Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated,

THE NOTES
Section 2.1 Form and Dating.
(a) General. The Notes and the Trustees certificate of authentication will be substantially
in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its
authentication. The Notes will be in denominations of $2,000 with integral multiples of $1,000
thereof.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and
delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be
bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture will govern and be controlling.
(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon). Notes issued in
definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but
without the Global Note Legend thereon). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding
Notes as will be specified therein and each will provide that it will represent the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note
to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the
Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.2
hereof. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (DTC) to act as Depositary
with respect to the Global Notes.
Section 2.2 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole
except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the
Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged
by the Company for Definitive Notes if:
(1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or
unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within
90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; or
(2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in
part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the
Trustee.
6
Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes
will be issued in such names and in any approved denominations as the Depositary will instruct the
Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in
Sections 2.8 and 2.11 of the Base Indenture. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange
for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.2 or Sections
2.8 or 2.11 of the Base Indenture, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be,
a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this
Section 2.2(a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as
provided in Sections 2.2(b) or (f) hereof.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.
Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either
subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following
subparagraphs, as applicable:
(1) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any
Global Note may be transferred to persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions will be required to be delivered to
the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.2(b)(1).
(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection
with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.2(b)(1)

Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Companys behalf by such
person as the Company shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty

fair and appropriate and may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal
amount of the Notes equal to an authorized denomination.
No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000

respect to the Notes.
ARTICLE 4.

Company shall be required to make an offer (a Change of Control Offer) to each Holder of the
Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and

Payment). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Companys
option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that
constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to Holders of the
Notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control
Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which
date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed
(a Change of Control Payment Date). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation
of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control
Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(b) Such notice shall also state:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.1 and that all
Notes or portion of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;
(2) the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date;
(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(4) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to
accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the Change of Control Payment of the Notes and the only remaining right of the Holder is
to receive payment of the Change of Control Payment upon surrender of the Notes to the Paying
Agent;
(5) that Holders electing to have a portion of a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer may only elect to have such Note purchased as to $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof;
(6) that if a Holder elects to have a Note purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer
such Holder will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the
Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third
Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;
(7) that a Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election if the Company receives, not later
than the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date,
a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of
Notes such Holder delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its
election to have such Note purchased; and
(8) that if Notes are purchased only in part by the Company, a new Note of the same type will
be issued in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.
(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of such Notes properly tendered pursuant to the
Change of Control Offer;
(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect
of all Notes or portions of such Notes properly tendered; and
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with
an Officers Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of such Notes
being repurchased.

a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the
times and otherwise in
11
compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party
purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
(e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such securities laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change
of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or
regulations conflict with the provisions under this Section 4.1, the Company shall comply with such
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this
Section 4.1 by virtue of any such conflict.
(f) No Notes of $2,000 or less can be repurchased pursuant to this Section 4.1 in part. Notes
in denominations larger than $2,000 may be repurchased in part but only in whole multiples of

improvement thereon which secured the Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or
replacement.
(b) Notwithstanding the restrictions in clause (a) above, the Company or any Subsidiary may
incur Debt secured by a Lien which would otherwise be subject to such restrictions without equally
and ratably securing the Notes provided that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of
all such Debt so secured by such Liens (not including Liens permitted under items (1) through (8)
in clause (a) above) plus the aggregate amount of Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and
Lease-Back Transactions entered into after the date of issuance of the Notes and permitted solely
pursuant to clause (c) of Section 4.3 hereof and still in existence does not exceed the greater of
15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of such incurrence and $350 million.
Section 4.3 Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.
The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and
Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property, other than any such Sale and
Lease-Back Transaction involving a lease for a term of not more than three years or any such Sale

ANALOG DEVICES, INC.
5.00% Notes due July 1, 2014
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to
below unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the Company), promises to
pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.00% per annum from the date hereof until
maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, or if
any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest
will accrue on the amount so payable for that period (each an Interest Payment Date). Interest
on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from June 30, 2009; provided that if there is no existing Default in the
payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the
face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date will be
January 1, 2010. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy
Law to the extent allowable) on overdue principal at the rate equal to the then applicable interest
rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law to the extent allowable) on overdue installments of interest at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest)
to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 15 or
December 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such
record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the
Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal and interest on the Notes will be
payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New
York or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the
Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes;
provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect
to principal of and interest on all Global Securities and all other Notes the Holders of which will
have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment of public and private debts.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the
Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
act in any such capacity.

4. INDENTURE. This Note is one of a duly authenticated Series of securities of the Company
issued and to be issued in one or more Series under an indenture (the Base Indenture), dated as
of June 30, 2009 between the Company and the Trustee, as amended by the Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of June 30, 2009, between the Company and the Trustee (the Supplemental Indenture and,
together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture). The terms of the Notes include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture will govern and be controlling, and to the extent any
provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of the Supplemental
Indenture, the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling. The Company
will be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Supplemental Indenture.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time,
either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the following amounts,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date:
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and
(ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments.
In determining the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, such payments shall be
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 37.5 basis points.
Calculation of the foregoing shall be made by the Company or on the Companys behalf by such
person as the Company shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty
or obligation of the Trustee.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption
date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
A partial redemption of the Notes may be effected by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal
amount of the Notes equal to an authorized denomination.
No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000
may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a
Holder are to be redeemed.
-4-
Notice of any redemption shall be mailed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed.
6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
7. OFFER TO PURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to
redeem the Notes or has defeased the Notes or satisfied and discharged the Notes, the Company shall
be required to make an offer (a Change of Control Offer) to each Holder of the Notes to
repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof)
of that Holders Notes pursuant to the terms set forth in the Indenture. In a Change of Control
Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes
repurchased to the date of repurchase.
8. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. Notes may be transferred or exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things,
to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company or the Trustee may
require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The
Company need not exchange or transfer any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except
for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange
or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the day of any selection of
Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest
Payment Date.
9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all
purposes.
10. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including, without limitation, consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes, and any existing default or
compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes, may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes.
Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for a supplemental
indenture as set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture; (iii) to provide for uncertificated
Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (iv) to make any change that does not
adversely affect the rights of any Holder; (v) to provide for the issuance of and establish the
form and terms and conditions of the Securities of any Series as permitted by the Indenture; (vi)

Trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be
-5-
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture by
more than one Trustee; or (vii) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.
11. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the outstanding Notes may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
12. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of the Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
13. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the
Company will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
14. AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of
the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

16. CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the
Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other elements of
identification printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the
Company), in connection with the offer and sale of $375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
5.00% Notes due 2014 (the Debt Securities), pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated June 25,
2009 (the Underwriting Agreement), between the Company and Credit Suisse Securities, LLC, as
representative of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement. The Debt Securities
will be issued pursuant to an indenture to be dated as of June 30, 2009 between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the Trustee), as supplemented by the supplemental
indenture to be dated as of June 30, 2009 (the Indenture).
As such counsel, we have assisted in the preparation and filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the Commission) of the Companys prospectus supplement dated June 25, 2009
(the Prospectus Supplement) to the prospectus dated June 25, 2009 (the Base Prospectus), each
relating to the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-160215) (the Registration
Statement) filed by the Company with the Commission on June 25, 2009.
We have examined and relied upon corporate or other proceedings of the Company regarding (i)
the authorization of the execution and delivery of the Indenture, the Underwriting Agreement and
the issuance of the Debt Securities, (ii) the Registration Statement, (iii) the Base Prospectus,
(iv) the Prospectus Supplement, (v) the Underwriting Agreement and (vi) the Indenture. We have
also examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Company, such other agreements and
instruments, certificates of public officials, officers of the Company and other persons, and such
other documents, instruments and certificates as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter expressed.
In our examination of the documents referred to above, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of all individual signatories, 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 such original documents, and the completeness and accuracy of the
corporate records of the Company provided to us by the Company.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that (i) the Trustee has the power,
corporate or other, to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture, (ii) the
Indenture will be a valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, and (iii) the Trustee shall have
been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. We have also assumed the due
authentication of the Debt Securities by the Trustee, that there will not have occurred, prior to
the date of issuance of the Debt Securities, any change in law affecting the validity or
enforceability of such Debt Securities and that at the time of the issuance and sale of the Debt
Securities, the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof acting pursuant to
authority properly delegated to such committee by the Board of Directors) has not taken any action
to rescind or otherwise reduce its prior authorization of the issuance of the Debt Securities.
We express no opinion herein as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the state laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of
the United States of America.
We have assumed for purposes of our opinions below that no authorization, approval or other
action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or (to
the extent the same is required under any agreement or document binding on it of which an addressee
has knowledge, has received notice or has reason to know) any other third party is required for the
due execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Indenture or the Debt Securities or,
if any such authorization, approval, consent, action, notice or filing is required, it will have
been duly obtained, taken, given or made and will be in full force and effect.
Our opinions below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject to or affected by (i)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, usury, fraudulent conveyance or
similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors generally, (ii) duties
and standards imposed on creditors and parties to contracts, including, without limitation,
requirements of materiality, good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and (iii) general
equitable principles. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to the availability of any equitable or
specific remedy upon any breach of the Indenture or the Debt Securities, or to the successful
assertion of any equitable defenses, inasmuch as the availability of such remedies or the success
of any equitable defenses may be subject to the discretion of a court. We also express no opinion
herein with respect to compliance by the Company with the securities or blue sky laws of any
state or other jurisdiction of the United States or of any foreign jurisdiction. In addition, we
express no opinion and make no statement herein with respect to the antifraud laws of any
jurisdiction.
On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Debt
Securities have been duly executed by the Company, and duly authenticated by the Trustee in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment
of the consideration therefor duly approved by the Company, and subject to the final
Analog Devices, Inc.
June 25, 2009
Page 3
terms of the Debt Securities complying with then applicable law, not resulting in a default
under or a breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company and complying with any
requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental entity having jurisdiction over the
Company, the Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
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. This opinion is based upon currently existing
statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions and is rendered as of the date hereof, and we
disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of the foregoing sources of law or
subsequent developments in law or changes in facts or circumstances that might affect any matters
or opinions set forth herein.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the
Companys Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed on or about June 30, 2009, which Form 8-K will be
incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein and in
the related Base Prospectus, Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus Supplement under the
caption Legal Matters. 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 of 1933, as
amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission.
