EXPLANATORY NOTE
The prospectus included herein relates to shares of Common Stock, $.16
2/3 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Analog Devices, Inc.
("Analog" or the "Company") which may be issued by the Company from time to
time to the trust (the "Trust") established by the Company and Boatmens'
Trust Company (the "Trustee") pursuant to the Company's Deferred
Compensation Plan. At the time that this registration statement, File No.
333-17651 (the "Registration Statement"), was originally filed, only a
portion of the shares (only those shares that represented the gain that
would otherwise be realized upon exercise of an option) issuable upon the
exercise of non-statutory stock options held by eligible participants (the
"Gain Shares") were to be issued to the Trust pursuant to prior irrevocable
elections made by such participants. Subsequently, on March 11, 1997, the
Board of Directors of the Company authorized (pursuant to prior irrevocable
elections) (i) the issuance to the Trust of up to all shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options held by
such participants, not just the Gain Shares; and (ii) the transfer from
certain employees to the Trust of shares of restricted stock. The number of
shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement
shall remain the same, this Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
has been filed merely to amend the disclosure, as described in the previous
sentence, in the prospectus included herein.

THE COMPANY
The Company designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of
high-performance linear, mixed-signal and digital integrated circuits
("ICs") that address a wide range of real-world signal processing
applications. The Company's principal products include general-purpose,
standard-function linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SLICs"), special-purpose
linear and mixed-signal ICs ("SPLICs") and digital signal processing ICs
("DSP ICs"). The Company also manufactures and markets devices using
assembled product technology.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has established the Analog Devices, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") to provide (i) certain management and highly
compensated employees of the Company and (ii) the non-employee directors of
the Company with the opportunity to defer receipt of portions of their
compensation payable for services rendered to the Company. The obligations
of the Company under such deferral arrangements (the "Obligations") are
unfunded and unsecured general obligations of the Company to pay in the
future the value of the deferred compensation adjusted to reflect the
performance, whether positive or negative, of selected investment
measurement options chosen by each participant during the deferral period
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Eligible participants in the Plan
("Eligible Participants") are the Company's non-employee directors and
certain Company employees designated from time to time, by name, group or
description by the Administrative Committee for the Plan.
The Plan was adopted on November 3, 1995 and amended on December 3,
1996 and March 11, 1997, and permits Eligible Participants to defer (i)
salary and bonuses, (ii) in the case of non-employee directors, director
fees and meeting fees and (iii) the gains that would otherwise be
recognized upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options held by
Eligible Participants ("Deferred Option Gains") and gains that would
otherwise be recognized upon the lapse or termination of the restrictions
and forfeiture provisions applicable to grants of restricted stock held by
Eligible Participants.
Ordinarily, upon the exercise of non-statutory stock options, Eligible
Participants would be required to recognize, for federal income tax
purposes, an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise
price and the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock issued upon
the option exercise. To defer the Deferred Option Gains, Eligible
Participants are required to deliver an irrevocable election to the Company
prior to the option exercise. The Eligible Participant must specify at the
time the irrevocable election is made whether such election relates to (i)
all the shares issuable pursuant to a specified option or (ii) only those
shares issuable pursuant to the specified option which, based on the then
fair market value, represents the gain that would otherwise be realized
upon the option exercise (the "Gain Shares"). After the deferral election
has been delivered and the option is exercised, the Company will issue to
the Trust (established for the Plan by a Trust Agreement between the
Company and the Trustee), in accordance with the prior election, either (i)
all of the shares issuable upon the exercise of such option or (ii) the
Gain Shares, as the case may be.
From time to time, certain employees of the Company are granted stock
awards ("Restricted Stock Awards") that are subject to certain restrictions
and/or risks of forfeiture (collectively, "Restrictions"). Ordinarily, upon
the lapse or termination of such Restrictions, such employees would realize
income for Federal Tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference
between the price paid for the shares granted pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Award, which is ordinarily a nominal amount, and the fair market
value of the stock on the date the Restrictions lapse or terminate. The
Plan allows Eligible Participants to defer the payment of the taxes which
would otherwise be due at the time the Restrictions lapse or terminate
("Restricted Stock Gains"). In order to defer Restricted Stock Gains
("Deferred Restricted Stock Gains"), Eligible Participants must deliver an
irrevocable election to the Company prior to the date that the Restrictions
on such shares lapse or terminate. After such an election has been made,
the holders of such restricted shares will cause the Company to transfer
such shares to the Trust.
-5-
<PAGE> 7
The Trust is considered to be a grantor trust for federal income tax
purposes. Shares issued to the Trust in connection with Deferred Option
Gains and shares transferred to the Trust in connection with Deferred
Restricted Stock Gains, are held by the Trustee together with any
other funds or assets deposited with the Trustee by the Company pursuant to
the terms of the Plan and the Trust Agreement. The assets of the Trust, and
any earnings thereon, are held separate and apart from other funds of
the Company for the uses and purposes of Plan participants. The Company's
obligations with respect to an Eligible Participant's Deferred Option Gains
and/or Deferred Restricted Stock Gains are unfunded and unsecured promises
by the Company to pay in the future the value of the Deferred Option Gains
and/or Deferred Restricted Stock Gains, adjusted either up or down to
reflect the performance of selected investment measurement options
available to each participant during the deferral period in accordance with
the Plan and the Trust Agreement.
Shares of the Company's Common Stock issued with respect to Deferred
Option Gains and Deferred Restricted Stock Gains shall be sold from time to
time in the open market for the account of the Trust when an Eligible
Participant advises the Company to change his/her investment from Analog
Common Stock to one or more of the several investment measurement options
available to Plan participants. After such shares are sold, investment
earnings credited to the Eligible Participant's account will be indexed to
the mutual funds or indices selected by the Eligible Participant. The
Company is not actually required to invest the deferred compensation in the
types of funds specified by a Plan participant. However, such use of the
Trust may assist the Company in meeting its future Obligations.
The Company has filed with the Commission a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 under the Securities Act with respect to the Company's Obligations
under the Plan (Registration Statement No. 33-64849).
The address of the Trustee is Boatmens' Trust Company, Attention: John
Bascio, LBT 970, P.O. Box 14737, St. Louis, MO 63178-4737.
USE OF PROCEEDS
As set forth under "Deferred Compensation Plan," the proceeds from the
sale of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be held by the Trustee
separate and apart from other funds of the Company and applied for the use
and purposes of participants in the Plan. Such proceeds, together with
other assets held by the Trust, shall be subject to the claims of the
Company's general creditors under federal and state laws in the event of
the Company's insolvency.
The Company cannot determine the number of shares of Common Stock
which will be sold pursuant to this Prospectus because that number is
dependent upon the extent to which Eligible Participants elect to defer the
recognition of gains from their exercise of stock options and Restricted
Stock Awards granted by the Company.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Shares of Common Stock covered hereby may be offered and sold by the
Company for the account of the Trust. Such sales may be made on the New
York Stock Exchange in
-6-
<PAGE> 8
open market transactions including one or more of the following methods:
(a) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal for resale on the open market
by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (b)
ordinary open market brokerage transactions and open market transactions in
which a broker solicits purchasers; and (c) block trades in which a
broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell on the open market the shares
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged to
sell the shares may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate.
Broker-dealers will receive commissions or discounts from the Company in
amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the shares of Common Stock covered hereby, any
broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act
in connection with such sales, and the compensation of such broker-dealers
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
This offering will terminate on the date on which all shares offered
hereby have been sold.
INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Restated Articles of Organization of the Company, as amended (the
"Articles of Organization") provide that the directors and officers of the
Company shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent
authorized by Massachusetts law, as it now exists or may in the future be
amended, against all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with
service for or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Articles of
Organization provide that the directors of the Company will not be
personally liable for monetary damages to the Company for breaches of their
fiduciary duty as directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Hale and Dorr LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

</TABLE>
ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended
(the "Articles of Organization") provides for indemnification of directors
and officers to the full extent permitted under Massachusetts law. Section
67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a
corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request
of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the
corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses
incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is
threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person
shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the corporation, provided that, no indemnification
shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 67.
Article 6A also provides for indemnification of directors and officers
of the Registrant against liabilities and expenses in connection with any
legal proceedings to which they may be made a party or with which they may
become involved or threatened by reason of having been an officer or
director of the Registrant or of any other organization at the request of
the Registrant. Article 6A generally provides that a director or officer of
the Registrant (i) shall be indemnified by the Registrant for all expenses
of such legal proceedings unless he has been adjudicated not to have acted
in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best
interests of the Registrant, and (ii) shall be indemnified by the
Registrant for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement and compromise of such
II-1
<PAGE> 11
proceedings. No indemnification will be made to cover costs of settlements
and compromises if the Board 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
Registrant), that such settlement or compromise is not in the best
interests of the Registrant.
Article 6A permits the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action in advance of its final
disposition, subject to receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified person
to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is
not entitled to indemnification under the Articles of Organization. No
advance may be made if the Board of Directors 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
Registrant), that such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his action was in the best interest of the Registrant.
Article 6D of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides that
no director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 61 or 62 of Chapter 156B, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant has directors and officers liability insurance for the
benefit of its directors and officers.
ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.
See Exhibit Index included immediately preceding the Exhibits to this
Registration Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
II-2
<PAGE> 12
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions
described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action,
II-3
<PAGE> 13
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Norwood,
