Exhibit 1.01
CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF ANALOG DEVICES, INC. IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 13P-1 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 (UNAUDITED)
Section 1: Introduction
This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Analog Devices, Inc. (Analog Devices, ADI, we, our) for calendar year 2022 in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rule 13p-1). Numerous terms in this report are defined in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources for such definitions and explanations thereof.
Products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Analog Devices may contain tantalum, tin, tungsten and/or gold (collectively, conflict minerals) that are necessary to the functionality or production of our products. Based on the reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) described below, Analog Devices either knows that necessary conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, Covered Countries) and are not from recycled or scrap sources, or has reason to believe that necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and has reason to believe that they may not be from recycled or scrap sources. Accordingly, we undertook due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals in our products, as described below. Analog Devices is many steps removed from the mining of the conflict minerals; we do not purchase raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals, and we do no purchasing in the Covered Countries. We either purchase conflict minerals indirectly from a smelter or refiner (SOR) for use in our manufacturing processes or purchase components from suppliers that incorporate conflict minerals. The mine or other point of origin of conflict minerals cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other conflict-mineral containing derivatives.
Analog Devices is a leading semiconductor company dedicated to solving our customers most complex engineering challenges. We deliver innovations that connect technology to human breakthroughs and play a critical role at the intersection of the physical and digital world by providing the building blocks to sense, measure, interpret, connect and power. We design, manufacture, test and market a broad portfolio of solutions, including integrated circuits (ICs), software and subsystems that leverage high-performance analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing technologies. Our comprehensive product portfolio, deep domain expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities extend across high-performance precision and high-speed mixed-signal, power management and processing technologies including data converters, amplifiers, power management, radio frequency (RF) ICs, edge processors and other sensors.
We focus on key strategic markets such as industrial, automotive, consumer, and communications where our signal processing technology is often a critical differentiator in our customers products.
Section 2: Product Scope
We design, manufacture, test and market a broad portfolio of solutions, including ICs, software and subsystems that leverage high-performance analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing technologies. Our comprehensive product portfolio, deep domain expertise and advanced manufacturing capabilities extend across high-performance precision and high-speed mixed-signal, power management and processing technologies including data converters, amplifiers, power management, RF ICs, edge processors and other sensors. The scope of this report applies to semiconductor ICs, monolithic and multi-chip ICs, multi-component ICs, system-in-package modules/hybrid ICs, and other modules and assembled products. Our ICs are designed to address a wide range of real-world signal processing applications. We sell our products to customers worldwide, many of whom use products spanning our core technologies in a wide range of applications. Our IC product portfolio includes both general-purpose products used by a broad range of customers and applications, as well as application-specific products designed for specific target markets. By using readily available, high-performance, general-purpose products in their systems, our customers can reduce the time they need to bring new products to market. Given the high cost of developing more customized ICs, our standard products often provide a cost-effective solution for many low to medium volume applications. More specifically, our analog ICs monitor, condition, amplify or transform continuous analog signals associated with physical properties, such as temperature, pressure, weight, light, sound or motion, and play an important role in bridging real world phenomena to a variety of electronic systems. Our analog ICs also provide voltage regulation and power control to electronic systems. We also focus on working with leading customers to design application-specific solutions. We begin with our existing core technologies, which leverage our analog and mixed signal, power management, RF and microwave, edge processors and other sensors, and devise a solution that more closely meet the needs of a specific customer or group of customers. Because we have already developed the core technology platform for our general-purpose products, we can create application-specific solutions quickly and efficiently.
We produce and market a broad range of ICs and products and operate in one reportable segment based on the aggregation of our operating segments. The ICs sold by each of our operating segments are manufactured using similar semiconductor processes, package manufacturing processes and raw materials in either our own production facilities or by third-party wafer fabricators and package manufacturers.

Section 3: Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry
Analog Devices engaged with our relevant suppliers to identify SORs in our supply chain. We define relevant suppliers as those who supply materials to Analog Devices that are known to contain any or all of the conflict minerals, where such conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality and/or production of our products. We reach out to our relevant suppliers to request conflict minerals sourcing information using the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI)s Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (RMI CMRT). Information provided by our relevant suppliers is reviewed for completeness and reasonableness, based on our knowledge of the supplier. Further supplier engagement, as necessary, is undertaken for any additional actions regarding their submission, including but not limited to follow-up and escalation on the identified SORs.
Section 4: Due Diligence Framework
Analog Devices due diligence measures are designed to conform, in all material respects, with the internationally recognized due diligence framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition (OECD 2016) (the OECD Framework), including related supplements for each of the conflict minerals. Below is a description of our due diligence measures pursuant to the OECD Framework:
Step 1. Establish a strong company management system
| Analog Devices has adopted a policy regarding conflict minerals (Conflict Minerals Policy). The Conflict Minerals Policy is publicly available on our website and is a key component of our conflict minerals program. The Conflict Minerals Policy reflects ADIs commitment to ethical practices and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. |
| An internal team supported by representatives from different internal groups is tasked to implement our Conflict Minerals Policy and oversee ADIs conflict minerals program (Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee). The Director of Quality, Environmental Product Compliance, is the assigned team leader who reports through the quality organization to the Vice President, Quality Engineering. The Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee reviews our conflict minerals program on a semiannual basis. |
| We have adopted a process for identifying suppliers, SORs, or recyclers and scrap supplier sources of conflict minerals within the supply chain. ADI leverages the RMI CMRT to gather information regarding SORs from our first-tier suppliers. We also utilized the RMI and its Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) to trace the mine of origin of the conflict minerals when such information was available. The RMI conducts independent audits of smelters and refineries to ensure that all certified smelters and refineries are Conformant1 or actively engaged in the RMAP identification of upstream actors in the supply chain. |
| We expect our direct suppliers to have policies and procedures in place that are in compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy to enable transparency and facilitate our compliance with applicable programs and rules. |
| As a participating member of the Responsible Business Alliance and the RMI, ADI utilizes these industry resources to support early risk awareness of issues that may impact SOR status. |
Step 2. Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
The OECD Framework for managing risk is largely directed towards the upstream portion of the supply chain (SORs and mines of origin). As a downstream company in the supply chain, ADI participates in the RMAP under the RMI to identify and review the due diligence process of SORs in our supply chain. The RMI assesses and audits whether SORs adhere to RMAP standards, which meet the requirements of the OECD Framework. Compliant SORs are then designated as Conformant and listed as such on the RMI website. We request suppliers provide information regarding SORs in our supply chain by using the RMI CMRT. We review supplier responses to identify areas for further follow-up and key risks in our supply chain.
1 | Conformant means that a smelter has successfully completed an assessment against the applicable RMAP standard or an equivalent cross-recognized assessment. Included smelters and refiners were not necessarily Conformant for all or part of 2022 and may not continue to be Conformant for any future period. |
2
Step 3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks
We encourage suppliers who are sourcing from non-Conformant SORs to move towards using Conformant SORs (as identified via the RMI and other industry-developed third-party audit mechanisms). We contact SORs directly to support participation in the RMI and respond to the RMIs requests for information as it relates to SOR operational changes, audit requirements or SOR status. If a supplier fails to remedy the risks identified by review of SORs reported to ADI, and subsequent supplier or SOR engagement cannot yield resolution, the supplier status will be escalated for review by the Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee to take measures up to and including termination of our relationship with the supplier, if warranted.
Step 4. Carry out independent third-party audit of SORs due diligence practices
We rely on industry efforts, including the RMI, to conduct third-party audits of eligible SORs against the RMAP standards, which meet the OECD Framework for due diligence practices. As a member of the RMI, we utilize information from these RMAP audits as well as other recognized industry audits of SORs to validate SOR conformance.
Step 5.
Annually submit a Form SD and Conflict Minerals Report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which reports the results of our due diligence. This report has been filed with the SEC and is available on our website.
Section 5: Due Diligence Results
Tracing the conflict minerals we use in our SORs and country of origin of each such mineral is a complex endeavor, but an important aspect of responsible sourcing. To help establish and maintain our supply chain compliance sourcing program, we have followed currently established industry guidelines such as those developed by the RMI under the OECD Framework, which enables companies to source minerals from SORs that have been subjected to a rigorous, independent third-party audit.
To implement our RCOI survey process, we adopted the RMIs industry approach and leveraged the RMI CMRT to gather information from our first-tier suppliers to help us trace the origin of necessary conflict minerals used in our products by identifying SORs, recyclers and scrap supplier sources of conflict minerals. We also utilized the RMI and its RMAP to trace the mine of origin of conflict minerals when such information was available. The RMI conducts independent audits of SORs to ensure that all certified SORs are Conformant or actively engaged in the RMAP.
The responses from our suppliers listed 336 entities as SORs of conflict minerals in their supply chains. A recognized responsible minerals assurance process verified 218 of these entities as Conformant by the RMI. The following is a summary as of April 3, 2023 of SORs used by our suppliers by mineral type:
Metal |
Total Known SORs Used | Conformant SORs | ||||||
Gold |
173 | 92 | ||||||
Tantalum |
34 | 33 | ||||||
Tin |
81 | 58 | ||||||
Tungsten |
48 | 35 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|||||
Total |
336 | 218 |
Section 6: Other Matters
Based on the information provided by our suppliers through December 31, 2022, we believe that the facilities that may have been used to process conflict minerals in our products include SORs listed in Annex I below.
After exercising the due diligence described above, Analog Devices concluded that some of its necessary conflict minerals originated in the Covered Countries. Analog Devices was unable to determine whether or not such conflict minerals directly or indirectly financed an armed group in the Covered Countries. Based on information provided by our suppliers and from the RCOI data from the RMI, we believe that the origin of the conflict minerals contained in our products may include the countries listed in Annex II below as well as recycled and scrap sources.
3
Analog Devices will undertake the following steps during the next compliance period to continue to improve the due diligence conducted and to further mitigate the risk that our necessary conflict minerals benefit armed groups:
| Continue to participate in industry initiatives, such as the RMI. We participate actively in the RMIs plenary sessions. |
| Continue to contact SORs identified as a result of the RCOI process and request their participation in obtaining a conformant designation from an industry program such as the RMAP program or equivalent if they have not already done so. |
| Strengthen our alternate sourcing strategy to transition out suppliers who fail to comply with our conflict minerals requirements. |
| Collaborate with our procurement team by providing them with resources that will guide them in choosing the material suppliers containing any or all of the conflict minerals. |
| Explore the use of an automated system for the conflict minerals program. |

(1) | We note the following in connection with the information contained in the foregoing list: |
a) | SORs listed above were identified to us by the suppliers. However, not all of the included SORs may have processed necessary conflict minerals contained in our products. Some suppliers may have reported to us SORs that were not in our supply chain due to over-inclusiveness in the information received from their suppliers as a result of reporting to us at a company level, meaning that they reported to us the conflict minerals content contained in all of their products, not just the products they sold to us, or for other reasons. Additionally, not all of our suppliers responded to our inquiries. |
b) | The compliance status and country location reflected in the list is based solely on information made available by the RMI to its members, without independent verification by us. |
c) | Country Location is the location of the smelter or refiner and is based solely on information made publicly available by RMI, without independent verification by us. |
