PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Analog Devices, Inc. (Analog, ADI or the Company) is a semiconductor company
that designs, manufactures and markets precision high-performance integrated
circuits (ICs) used in analog and digital signal processing. Virtually all of
ADI's products are components, which are typically incorporated by original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in a wide range of equipment and systems for use
in communications, computer, industrial, instrumentation, military/aerospace,
automotive and high-performance consumer electronics applications.

The Company's principal products include general-purpose, standard-function
analog and mixed-signal ICs and DSP ICs. DSP ICs include general-purpose digital
signal processing ICs (DSPs) and application-specific devices that typically
incorporate analog and mixed-signal circuitry and a DSP core.

The Company sells its products worldwide through a direct sales force,
third-party industrial distributors and independent sales representatives.
Approximately 50% of fiscal 1998 revenue was derived from customers in North
America, while most of the balance was derived from customers in Western Europe
and the Far East.

ADI is headquartered near Boston in Norwood, Massachusetts, and has
manufacturing facilities in Massachusetts, California, North Carolina, Ireland,
the Philippines and Taiwan. Founded in 1965, ADI employs approximately 7,200
persons worldwide.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Real-world phenomena, such as temperature, pressure, sound, images, speed and
acceleration are inherently analog in nature, consisting of continuously varying
information. This information can be detected and measured using analog sensors,
which represent real-world phenomena by generating continuously varying voltages
and currents. The signals from these sensors are initially processed using
analog methods, such as amplification, filtering and shaping. They are then
usually converted to digital form for input to a microprocessor, which is used
to manipulate, store or display the information. In many cases the signals are
further processed after conversion to digital form using a technology called
"digital signal processing," or DSP. In addition, digital signals are frequently
converted to analog form to provide signals for analog display, sound, or
control functions. These manipulations and transformations are known
collectively as "real-world signal processing."

Significant advances in semiconductor technology over the past 10 to 15 years
have led to substantial increases in the performance and functionality of ICs
used in signal processing applications. These advances include the ability to
create VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) mixed-signal ICs that contain both
high-performance analog circuitry and large amounts of high-density digital
circuitry. The analog circuitry portion of the IC is used for manipulating
real-world signals while still in analog form and for converting analog signals
into digital form (or vice versa), and the digital portion is used for further
processing analog signals subsequent to their conversion to digital form. The
ICs resulting from these advances are used as components in equipment and
systems to achieve higher performance and more efficient signal processing.

MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS

The Company's products are sold primarily to OEMs for incorporation into
equipment, instruments and systems sold to end users for a wide variety of
applications, including engineering, medical and scientific instruments;
industrial equipment; communications equipment; computers and computer
peripherals; military/aerospace equipment; high-end consumer electronics
products and automotive products. The Company's growth has been aided both by
the expansion of these markets and the increasing need for high-performance
real-time signal processing.

Listed below are some of the characteristics of each of the Company's major
markets:

COMMUNICATIONS--includes data and fax modems, digital cellular telephones and
portable, wireless communication base station equipment and broadband wired
applications. The need for ever higher speed, coupled with more reliable, more
bandwidth-efficient communications is creating increasing demand for systems
that include both digital and analog signal processing capability. Demand for
signal processing ICs for this market is also being driven by the equipment
manufacturers' need for components that enable them to develop cost-effective
products that feature high performance, small size, low weight and minimal power
consumption.

INDUSTRIAL--includes data acquisition systems, automatic process control
systems, robotics, environmental control systems and automatic test equipment
(ATE). These products generally require ICs that offer performance greater than
that available from commodity-level ICs, but generally do not have production
volumes that warrant custom or application-specific ICs. Combinations of analog
ICs are therefore usually employed to achieve the necessary functionality,
except in ATE applications where the high level of electronic circuitry required
per tester has created opportunities for the design of system-level ICs for this
application.

INSTRUMENTATION--includes engineering, medical and scientific instruments. These
products are usually designed using the highest performance analog ICs
available, where production volumes generally do not warrant custom or
application-specific ICs.

COMPUTERS AND COMPUTER PERIPHERALS--includes high-performance personal
computers, workstations and peripheral devices such as displays and scanners.
The Company currently supplies a variety of ICs used in this market for
functions such as graphic displays; interfaces between PCs and peripherals such
as modems and printers; power and battery management; and enhanced sound input
and output capability for business and entertainment applications.

MILITARY/AEROSPACE--includes military, commercial avionics and space markets,
all of which require high-performance ICs that meet rigorous environmental and
reliability specifications. Nearly all of the Company's analog ICs can be
supplied in versions that meet appropriate military standards. In addition, many
products can be supplied to meet the standards required for broadcast satellites
and other commercial space applications. Most of the Company's products sold in
this market are derived from standard commercial grade ICs, although the Company
sometimes develops products expressly for military/aerospace applications.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS--The emergence of high-performance consumer products, such
as compact disc players, DVD players and digital camcorders and cameras, has led
to the need for high-performance system-level ICs with a high level of specific
functionality. Although the Company's revenue from this market has not been
significant, the Company now supplies ICs for sophisticated products used by
consumers for computing, communications and entertainment applications, and
believes that many of these applications will involve digital signal processing.

AUTOMOTIVE--Although the automotive market has historically been served with
low-cost, low-performance ICs, demand has emerged for higher performance devices
for a wide range of applications. In response, the Company is developing
products specifically for the automotive market. The Company supplies a
micromachined IC used as a crash sensor in airbag systems, which serves as an
alternative to an electromechanical sensor. The Company believes that other
micromachined devices derived from this product may be suitable for other
automotive applications, such as roll-over sensing, Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS) automotive navigation systems, anti-lock brakes and "smart" suspension
systems and other applications including earthquake detectors and Microsoft
high-end joysticks.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS

The Company's business predominantly comprises the design, manufacture and
marketing of a broad line of high-performance linear, mixed-signal and digital
integrated circuits that address a wide range of real-world signal processing
applications. The Company's IC products include analog ICs, DSP ICs,
micromachined products and assembled products.

A substantial portion of the Company's products are proprietary, while
equivalents to other products are available from a limited number of other
suppliers.

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS (ICS)

ANALOG ICS

Analog IC products have been the foundation of the Company's business for more
than 20 years, and the Company believes it is one of the world's largest
suppliers of analog ICs. Analog ICs sales represent approximately 75% of the
Company's total sales. The Company's analog ICs are primarily high-performance,
single-function devices. The majority of the Company's analog IC product revenue
is attributable to sales of data converters (analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog) and amplifiers. Other analog IC products offered by the
Company include analog signal-processing devices (such as analog multipliers),
voltage references and comparators. Over the past few years the Company has been
expanding its analog IC product offerings into product areas where its focus was
previously limited, principally interface circuits and power management ICs. It
is also expanding its analog IC product line to include a much larger number of
products designed to operate from single-supply 3 or 5 volt power sources to
better meet the needs of customers designing portable battery-operated
equipment.

ADI's analog ICs products tend to be general purpose in nature, which allows
customers to incorporate them in a wide variety of equipment and systems. ADI's
product portfolio includes several hundred analog ICs, any one of which can have
as many as several hundred customers. Analog ICs typically have long product
life cycles. The Company's analog ICs customers include both OEMs and customers
who build equipment for their own use. Historically, most analog ICs have been
purchased by OEMs that serve the instrumentation, industrial and
military/aerospace markets, but they are now also being used for applications in
communications, computers, camcorders, scanners, automatic test equipment,
imaging and other consumer applications requiring high-performance real-world
signal processing. By using standard, high-performance, readily available,
off-the-shelf components in their designs, ADI's customers can reduce the time
required to develop and bring new products to market. Given the high cost of
developing customized ICs, analog ICs usually provide the most cost-effective
solutions for low to medium volume applications. In addition, combinations of
analog ICs connected together on a printed circuit board can provide
functionality not currently achievable using a single IC.

Other analog ICs include circuits that are designed to serve the needs of
particularly demanding applications, e.g. very high speed analog timing and pin
driver circuits needed by OEMs in the automatic test equipment business.
Manufacturers of portable instrumentation need analog ICs designed to address
demanding battery life requirements, and need similar kinds of functions
available in analog IC products integrated into a single, very low power chip.
Other principal requirements can include higher accuracy, lower cost per
function, smaller size, lower weight, and fewer components for improved
reliability. These application specific products allow ADI's customers to design
smaller, lighter, higher performance, more power-efficient and lower-cost end
products. The Company believes that these benefits have become more important to
the Company's OEM customers as they increase their focus on high-performance,
small, lightweight products, many of which are battery powered.

DSP ICS

Analog's DSP ICs include general-purpose DSP ICs and multi-function mixed-signal
devices that feature high levels of functional integration on a single chip. In
the preceding three years, sales of these products represented between 18% and
23% of the Company's total sales.

The Company's general-purpose DSP ICs are designed to efficiently execute
specialized programs (algorithms) associated with processing digitized
real-time, real-world data. General-purpose DSP IC customers typically write
their own algorithms using software tools provided by the Company and software
tools obtained from third-party suppliers. All of these devices share a common
architecture which allows system designers to address cost, performance and
time-to-market constraints. ADI supports these products with specialized
applications and easy-to-use, low-cost design tools, which reduce product
development costs and time to market.

ADI's DSP ICs, other than its general-purpose DSPs, are multi-function
mixed-signal devices, some of which include a DSP core. Examples of these
devices include chipsets for communication applications (GSM cellular phones,
remote access servers, data and fax modems), audio input/output devices for
computer applications and devices designed to control motors.

MICROMACHINED PRODUCTS

The Company's technology base includes a number of new products using an
advanced IC technology known in the industry as surface micromachining. This
technology enables extremely small mechanical structures to be built on the
surface of a chip along with supporting circuitry. Specialized manufacturing
processes in wafer fabrication, packaging and testing are required to produce
these products.

The first series of micromachined products from ADI are accelerometers used in a
wide variety of applications. The majority of current revenues from ADI's
micromachined products derive from accelerometers used by automotive
manufacturers in airbag applications. Emerging applications include GPS
Automobile Navigation systems, earthquake detectors and Microsoft high-end
joysticks. Sales of these products represent less than 5% of the Company's total
sales.

ASSEMBLED PRODUCTS

The Company's assembled products include multi-chip modules (MCMs), hybrids and
printed circuit board modules. A MCM is a device made up of several IC chips
assembled in an automated fashion in a multilayer package that provides high
interconnect density at low cost. A hybrid consists of several chips and
discrete components mounted and wired together on a substrate, which is then
enclosed in a package. A printed-board module consists of surface-mount
components assembled on a small printed board that is then encapsulated in a
small plastic case.

Revenues from this product group have been declining for several years,
primarily because hybrids are being replaced in many new designs with smaller,
lower-cost monolithic ICs that offer higher levels of performance and
integration at lower cost. Sales of these products have declined to less than 5%
of the Company's total sales.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The markets served by Analog are characterized by rapid technological changes
and advances. Accordingly, the Company makes substantial investments in the
design and development of new products and processes, and for significant
improvement of existing products and processes. ADI spent $219 million during
fiscal 1998 on the design, development and improvement of new and existing
products and processes, compared to $196 million and $178 million during fiscal
1997 and 1996 respectively.

In support of its research and development activities, the Company employs
hundreds of engineers involved in product and process development at several
design centers and manufacturing sites located throughout the world.

As of October 31, 1998, the Company owned approximately 500 U.S. patents and had
175 patent applications on file with the United States patent office. The
Company believes that while its patents may provide some advantage, its
competitive position is largely determined by such factors as the knowledge,
ability and experience of the Company's personnel, new product development,
market recognition and ongoing marketing efforts, customer service and technical
support.

SALES CHANNELS

ADI sells its products in both North America and internationally through a
direct sales force, third-party distributors and independent sales
representatives. Approximately 50% of fiscal 1998 revenue was derived from
customers in North America. As of December 1, 1998, the Company had 14 sales
offices in the United States, and its third-party distribution channel consisted
of six national and regional third-party distributors and several independent
sales representatives at numerous locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Approximately 26% of the Company's fiscal 1998 revenue was derived from sales to
customers in Europe; 13% to customers in Japan; and 11% to customers in other
international markets. As of December 1, 1998, the Company had direct sales
offices in Australia, Austria, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong,
India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan
and the United Kingdom. The Company also had sales representatives and/or
distributors in approximately 40 countries outside North America, including
countries where the Company also has direct sales offices. For further detail
regarding geographic information, see Note 3 in the Notes to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated herein by reference to the 1998
Annual Report to Shareholders and filed herewith as part of Exhibit 13.2.

Approximately 42% of ADI's fiscal 1998 revenue was derived from sales made
through distributors. The Company's distributors typically maintain an inventory
of Analog products. Some of these distributors also sell products competitive
with the Company's products, including those for which the Company is an
alternate source. Sales to certain distributors are made under agreements which
provide protection to the distributors for their inventory of Company products
against price reductions and products that are slow-moving or have been
discontinued by the Company.

The Company's worldwide sales efforts are supported by an extensive promotional
program that includes editorial coverage and paid advertising in trade
publications; direct mail programs; promotional brochures; technical seminars
and participation in trade shows. The Company publishes and distributes
full-length databooks, short-form catalogs, applications guides, technical
handbooks and detailed data sheets for individual products. The Company also
provides products and application information via its worldwide web site on the
Internet. The Company also maintains a staff of application engineers who aid
customers in incorporating Analog's products into their products during their
product development cycles.

For fiscal 1998, Analog's 20 largest customers accounted for approximately 30%
of the Company's net sales. The largest single customer represented
approximately 6% of net sales.

PRODUCTION AND RAW MATERIALS

Monolithic integrated circuit components are manufactured in a sequence of
semiconductor production steps that include wafer fabrication, wafer testing,
cutting the wafer into individual "chips" (or dice), assembly of the dice into
packages and electrical testing of the devices in final packaged form. The raw
materials used to manufacture these devices include silicon wafers, processing
chemicals (including liquefied gases), precious metals, ceramic packages and
plastic used for plastic packaging.

ADI employs a wide variety of Company-developed proprietary processes
specifically tailored for use in fabricating high-performance linear and
mixed-signal and system-level ICs. The Company also uses industry-standard
bipolar and CMOS wafer fabrication processes.

ADI's IC products are fabricated both at the Company's production facilities and
by third-party wafer fabricators. The Company relies primarily on its own
facilities for fabricating wafers that require linear and mixed-signal
processes. The Company operates wafer fabrication facilities in Wilmington and
Cambridge, Massachusetts; Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, California; and Limerick,
Ireland. The Company also operates assembly and test facilities located in the
United States, Ireland, the Philippines and Taiwan and also uses third-party
subcontractors. The Company uses Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company,
(TSMC) and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte., Ltd., (CSM) for the
production of digital and VLSI mixed-signal devices. To provide access to
advanced process technology at competitive costs, the Company has entered into a
joint venture agreement (WaferTech, LLC) with TSMC, Altera, Integrated Silicon
Solutions and several individual investors to build an eight-inch wafer
fabrication facility in Camas, Washington. Subsequent to the year ended October
31, 1998, the Company concluded an agreement to sell 14% of its 18% equity
ownership in WaferTech, for cash equal to the carrying value of the 14% equity
ownership at October 31, 1998, to other WaferTech partners. This sale is
expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

Hybrid products are manufactured by mounting and connecting together several
integrated circuit chips in a single package. Some of the chips used in the
Company's hybrids are manufactured by the Company and some are purchased from
outside suppliers. The production process for modular components, subsystems and
systems consists primarily of assembly, packaging and testing. Some of the
Company's assembled products are assembled and tested within the Company's U.S.
manufacturing facilities, while others are assembled and tested at Company-owned
facilities outside the United States or by subcontractors, principally in the
Far East.

To respond to production capacity requirements, the Company significantly
expanded its manufacturing capacity during the last three years. Major wafer
fabrication expansions have been completed in Wilmington and Cambridge,
Massachusetts; Sunnyvale, California and Limerick, Ireland. In addition, the
Company has completed construction of an additional assembly and test facility
in Cavite, Philippines.

BACKLOG

Backlog at the end of fiscal 1998 was approximately $174 million, down from
approximately $280 million at the end of fiscal 1997. While backlog has declined
primarily as a result of the lower level of demand for the Company's products
from the year earlier period, it is also impacted by the tendency of its
customers to rely on shorter lead times available from suppliers, including ADI,
in periods of depressed demand. Additionally, the Company may allow customers to
revise the quantities or delivery schedules of products ordered to reflect
changes in their needs. As is customary in the semiconductor industry, in
certain circumstances, the Company allows such orders to be canceled or
deliveries delayed by customer without significant penalty. Accordingly, the
Company believes that its backlog at any time should not be used as a measure of
future revenues.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

The Company estimates that approximately 11% of its fiscal 1998 total worldwide
revenue was attributable to sales to the U.S. government and government
contractors and subcontractors. Analog's government contract related business is
predominantly in the form of negotiated, firm fixed-price subcontracts. All such
contracts and subcontracts contain standard provisions relating to termination
at the election of the United States government.

COMPETITION

ADI competes with a large number of semiconductor companies in markets that are
highly competitive. The Company believes it is one of the largest suppliers of
high-performance linear and mixed-signal signal-processing components.
Competitors for the Company's linear and mixed-signal products include
Burr-Brown Corp., Cirrus Logic Inc., Harris Corp., Linear Technology Corp.,
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., National Semiconductor Corp., Sierra
Semiconductor Corp., Siliconix Inc., Texas Instruments, Inc. and others.

ADI's competitors in the DSP IC market include Lucent Technologies Inc.,
Motorola Semiconductor Products and Texas Instruments, Inc.

Sales of the Company's micromachined products currently comprise acceleration
sensors, and its main competitors are Bosch, Motorola and Denso. All three
competitors use a hybrid (two chip) solution whereas ADI uses a single chip
solution which the Company believes provides cost, reliability and functional
advantages in the marketplace.

Many other companies offer components that compete with ADI's products; some
also offer other electronic products, and some have financial resources
substantially larger than ADI's. Also, some formerly independent competitors
have been purchased by larger companies. However, to the Company's knowledge, no
manufacturer competes with ADI across all of the product types offered by the
Company in its signal-processing components product line.

The Company believes that competitive performance in the marketplace for
real-world signal-processing components depends upon several factors, including
product price, technical innovation, product quality and reliability, range of
products, customer service and technical support. The Company believes its
aggressive technical innovation emphasizing product performance and reliability,
supported by its commitment to strong customer service and technical support,
enables the Company to continue to compete successfully in its chosen markets
against both foreign and domestic semiconductor manufacturers.

ENVIRONMENT

Analog's manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous environmental laws and
regulations, particularly with respect to industrial waste and emissions.
Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material impact on the
Company's capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

EMPLOYEES

As of October 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 7,200 persons. The
Company's future success depends in large part on the continued service of its
key technical and senior management personnel, and on its ability to continue to
attract, retain and motivate qualified employees, particularly those highly
skilled design, process and test engineers involved in the manufacture of
existing products and the development of new products and processes. The
competition for such personnel is intense, and the loss of key employees could
have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company believes that
relations with its employees are good.
