STATEMENT OF INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
Except as otherwise set forth below, this registration statement incorporates by reference the contents of the Existing Registration Statements.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article 6A of the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization, as amended (the “Restated Articles”) provides that the Company shall indemnify each person who is, or was, a director or officer of the Company or who is or was a director or employee of the Company and is serving or has served as a director of another organization at the request of the Company or in any capacity with respect to an employee benefit plan of the Company, against all liabilities and expenses, including judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, imposed upon or incurred by any such person in connection with, or arising out of, the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceedings, whether civil or criminal, to which such individual may be made a defendant or with which such individual may become involved or threatened, directly or indirectly, by reason of having been an officer or director of the Company or as a result of his having served with respect to any such employee benefit plan. Article 6A further provides that the Company shall provide no indemnification with respect to any matter as to which any director or officer shall be finally adjudicated in such action, suit or proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Company or, if the matter relates to an employee benefit plan, the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. The right to indemnification conferred by Article 6A includes the right to be paid by the Company for liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with settlement or compromise of any such action pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless a determination is made by the board of directors that such settlement or compromise is not in the

best interests of the Company or, if the matter relates to an employee benefit plan, the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.
Article 6A of the Restated Articles includes the right to payment by the Company of expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to receipt of an undertaking by the individual person to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under the Restated Articles. However, no advance may be made if the board of directors reasonably and promptly determines, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company or if two disinterested directors are not then in office, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion), based on facts known to the board of directors or such independent legal counsel at such time, that such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Company or the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan, as the case may be.
Under Article 6A of the Restated Articles, if an individual is entitled under any provision of Article 6 of the Restated Articles to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the liabilities or expenses imposed upon or incurred by such individual in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any action, suit or proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such individual for the portion of such liabilities or expenses to which such individual is entitled. The Company’s obligation to provide indemnification under the Restated Articles shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the Company or any other person.
Under Article 6D of the Restated Articles, to the fullest extent permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act, as may be amended from time to time, no director shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability.
The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, each of which creates a direct contractual obligation of the Company to indemnify the individual under certain circumstances. Each agreement generally provides that the Company will indemnify the director or officer to the fullest extent permitted under Massachusetts law for claims arising in such individual’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or in connection with his or her service at the request of the Company for another entity. Each agreement, among other things, establishes certain remedies for claims and contains deadlines and procedures to be followed in connection with a request for indemnification and/or advancement of expenses, including in the event of a change in control of the Company.
In addition, the Company has directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers.

     Re:   Analog Devices, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     We have assisted in the preparation of 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”), relating to an aggregate of 15,257,044 shares of common stock, $0.16 2/3 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Analog Devices, Inc. a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), issuable under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
     We have examined the Articles of Organization and By-Laws of the Company, each as amended and restated to date, 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, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or other copies, the authenticity of the originals of any such documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.
     We assume that the appropriate action will be taken, prior to the offer and sale of the Shares in accordance with the Plan, to register and qualify the Shares for sale under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws.
     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.
     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.
     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.

     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when the Shares are issued and paid for in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission in connection with 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.
