                  The undersigned  registrant  hereby amends the following items
of its Registration  Statement on Form 8-A dated December 20, 1988 as amended by
its Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A dated February 27, 1992:

Item 1.  Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

                  On February  18, 1992,  the Board of  Directors of  Integrated
Device  Technology,  Inc. (the  "Company")  approved  certain  amendments to the
Company's  Stockholder Rights Plan, which became effective on February 27, 1992.
Two significant amendments were approved.  First, the Rights Plan was amended to
provide that upon the  acquisition by any person of 15% or more of the Company's
stock,  each holder of a Right (as such term is defined  below),  upon  exercise
thereof,  is entitled to purchase shares of the Company's common stock par value
$.001 per share (the  "Common  Stock"),  worth twice the  exercise  price of the
Right.  Second, an exchange provision was added which allows the Board, after an
acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's  stock,  to cause each Right,  other
than  Rights  held by the  person or  persons  who  acquired  15% or more of the
Company's  stock,  to be exchanged for Common Stock or substitute  consideration
with a value equal to the exercise  price of the Rights.  Additional  conforming
amendments were also approved.  The Amended and Restated  Rights  Agreement (the
"Rights  Agreement")  was  executed on February  27, 1992 by the Company and the
First  National Bank of Boston,  as Rights Agent. A summary of the entire Rights
Plan as amended is provided below.

                  On December  20,  1988,  the Board of Directors of the Company
declared a dividend of one preferred  share  purchase right (a "Right") for each
outstanding  share of Common Stock.  Upon declaration of  effectiveness,  by the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  of a  Registration  Statement on Form 8-A
covering the Rights,  the dividend was payable to the  stockholders of record at
the close of business on December 20, 1988 (the "Record Date"). As a result of a
two-for-one stock split, in the form of a stock dividend,  payable to holders of
record of the Company's Common Stock as of August 25, 1995, the number of Rights
associated  with each  share of Common  Stock was  proportionately  adjusted  to
one-half  of a Right  per  share  of  Common  Stock.  Each  Right  entitles  the
registered  holder to  purchase  form the  Company  one-hundredth  of a share of
Series A Junior  Participating  Preferred  Stock, par value $.001 per share (the
"Preferred  Stock"),  of the Company,  at a price of $50 per  one-hundredth of a
share of Preferred  Stock (the 'Purchase  Price"),  subject to  adjustment.  The
description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement.

                  Initially,  the Rights  will be  attached  to all  outstanding
shares of Common Stock, and no separate certificates  evidencing the Rights (the
"Rights Certificates") will be distributed.  The Rights will be evidenced,  with
respect to any of the Common  Stock  certificates  outstanding  as of the Record
Date,  by such Common  Stock  certificate  until the earlier to occur of: (i) 10
business  days (or such other  date as may be  determined  by a majority  of the
Board of Directors,  excluding directors who are Acquiring Persons or affiliated
or  associated  with  Acquiring  Persons,  as  defined  below  (the  "Continuing
Directors")),  following  a  public  announcement  that a  person  or  group  of
affiliated  or  associated  persons (an  "Acquiring  Person") has  acquired,  or
obtained  the  rights to  acquire,  beneficial  ownership  of 15% or more of the
outstanding  shares of Common Stock (the "Stock  Acquisition  Date"), or (ii) 10
business  days (or such other  date as may be  determined  by a majority  of the
Continuing Directors) following the commencement of or announcement of intention
to make a tender  offer or exchange  offer  which would  result in any Person or
group and related  Persons  becoming an  Acquiring  Person (the  earlier of such
dates being referred to as the "Distribution Date"). Until the Distribution Date
(or earlier  redemption,  exchange or expiration of the Rights),  (A) the Rights
will be transferred  with and only with the 


                                       2
<PAGE>

Common Stock  certificates,  (B) new Common Stock certificates  issued after the
Record Date upon  transfer or new  issuance of the Common  Stock will  contain a
notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference,  and (C) the surrender
for  transfer of any  certificates  for Common  Stock will also  constitute  the
transfer of the Rights  associated  with the Common  Stock  represented  by such
certificate.

                  As soon as practical  following the Distribution  Date, Rights
Certificates  will be mailed to holders of record of the Common  Stock as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date and, thereafter, such separate Rights
Certificates alone will evidence the Rights.  Except in connection with employee
stock  option  plans  existing  as  of  the  Distribution  Date,  the  exercise,
conversion or exchange of the Company's 5 1/2%  Convertible  Subordinated  Notes
due 2002 (to the extent outstanding) and as otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors,  only shares of Common Stock issued  prior to the  Distribution  Date
will be issued with Rights.

                  The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and
the power of the  Company  to redeem the Rights  has  expired.  The Rights  will
expire at the close of  business on  December  20,  1998 (the "Final  Expiration
Date"), unless earlier redeemed by the Company as described below.

                  Unless the Rights are earlier  redeemed or  exchanged,  in the
event that a Person  shall  become an  Acquiring  Person,  then each holder of a
Right will  thereafter  have the right to receive,  upon exercise of each Right,
shares of Common Stock having a value equal to two times the Purchase  Price. In
the event  that the  Company  does not have  sufficient  shares of Common  Stock
available for all Rights to be exercised, or the Board of Directors decides that
such action is necessary  and not contrary to the  interests of Rights  holders,
the Company may instead  substitute  cash,  property or other securities for the
Common Stock into which the Rights would have been exchanged.

                  Similarly,  unless  the Rights are  earlier  redeemed,  in the
event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (a) the Company is
acquired  in a merger or other  business  combination  transaction  in which the
Company is not the  surviving  corporation  or in which shares of the  Company's
outstanding Common Stock are changed or exchanged for stock or assets of another
person or (b) 50% or more of the  Company's  assets or earning  power is sold or
transferred, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right shall
thereafter  have the right to  receive,  upon the  exercise  thereof,  shares of
Common  Stock of the  acquiring  Company  having a value  equal to two times the
Purchase Price.

                  Notwithstanding  any of the  foregoing  in the  preceding  two
paragraphs,  all Right that are or (under circumstances  specified in the Rights
Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person shall immediately be
null and void.

                  The  Purchase  Price  payable,  the number of Rights,  and the
number of  one-hundredths  of a share of Preferred Stock or other  securities or
property  issuable,  upon exercise of the Rights, are subject to adjustment from
time to time to prevent  dilution (i) in the event of a stock  dividend on, or a
subdivision,  combination or reclassification of, the Preferred Stock, (ii) upon
the grant to holders of the  Preferred  Stock of certain  rights or  warrants to
subscribe for Preferred Stock or convertible securities at less than the current
market price of the Preferred  Stock, or (iii) upon the  distribution to holders
of the  Preferred  Stock of  evidences  of  indebtedness  or  assets  (excluding
periodic  dividends)  or of  subscription  rights or warrants  (other than those
referred to above).


                                       3
<PAGE>

                  With certain  exception,  no adjustment in the Purchase  Price
will be required until cumulative  adjustments require an adjustment of at least
1% in such Purchase price. No fractional portion (other than fractions which are
integral multiples of one-hundredth of a share of a share of Preferred Stock) of
a share of Preferred  Stock will be issued upon  exercise of a Right and in lieu
thereof,  an  adjustment  in cash will be made based on the market  price of the
Preferred Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.

                  At any  time on or  prior  to the  close  of  business  on the
earlier of (i) the tenth day following the Stock  Acquisition Date or such later
date as may be determined by a majority of the Continuing Directors and publicly
announced by the Company,  or (ii) the Final Expiration date of the Rights,  the
Company may redeem the Rights in whole,  but not in part, at a price of $.01 per
Right  (the  "Redemption  Price").  Immediately  upon the action of the Board of
Directors  ordering  redemption of the Rights,  the right to exercise the Rights
will  terminate  and the only right of the  holders of Rights will be to receive
the Redemption Price.

                  Subject to  applicable  law,  the Board of  Directors,  at its
option,  may at any time after a Person  becomes an  Acquiring  Person  (but not
after the  acquisition by such Person of 50% or more of the  outstanding  Common
Stock),  exchange all or part of the then  outstanding  and  exercisable  Rights
(except for Rights which have become void) for shares of Common Stock equivalent
to one  share of  Common  Stock per  Right  or,  alternatively,  for  substitute
consideration  consisting of cash, securities or the Company or other assets (or
any combination thereof).

                  Until a Right is exercised, the holders thereof, as such, will
have no rights as a stockholder of the Company,  including  without  limitation,
the right to vote or receive dividends.

                  Other than those terms relating to specific  economic terms of
the Rights (i.e. Redemption Price, the Final Expiration Date, the Purchase Price
or the number of one-one  hundredths  of a share of Preferred  Stock for which a
Right is  exercisable),  any of the  provisions  of the Rights  Agreement may be
amended by the Board of Directors of the Company  prior to the close of business
on the Distribution  Date without the approval of the Rights holders.  After the
Distribution  Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the
Board in order to cure any  ambiguity,  to make changes  which do not  adversely
affect the  interests  of  holders of Rights  (excluding  the  interests  of any
Acquiring  Person),  or to shorten or lengthen  any time period under the Rights
Agreement;  provided,  however,  that no  amendment  to adjust  the time  period
governing  redemption  shall  be  made  at  such  time  as the  Rights  are  not
redeemable.

                  A copy  of the  Rights  Agreement  has  been  filed  with  the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to the Company's Current Report
on Form 8-K dated February 27, 1992. A copy of the Rights Agreement is available
to any Stockholder free of charge from the Company. The foregoing description of
the Rights does not purport to be complete  and is  qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.  Exhibits

         The Exhibit Index appearing on page 6 hereof is incorporated  herein by

Section 22.       Issuance of New Rights Certificates.

         Notwithstanding  any of the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  or of the
Rights to the  contrary,  the  Company  may,  at its  option,  issue new  Rights
Certificates  evidencing  Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board of
Directors  to reflect any  adjustment  or change in the  Purchase  Price and the
number  or kind or class of  shares  of stock or other  securities  or  property
purchasable under the Rights Certificates made in accordance with the provisions
of this  Agreement.  In  addition,  in  connection  with the issuance or sale of
shares  of  Common  Stock  following  the  Distribution  Date  and  prior to the
redemption or expiration of the Rights,  the Company (a) shall,  with respect to
shares of  Common  Stock so issued or sold  pursuant  to the  exercise  of stock
options or  otherwise  under any  employee  plan or  arrangement,  which plan or
arrangement  is  existing as of the  Distribution  Date,  or upon the  exercise,
conversion or exchange of any other securities issued by the Company on or prior
to the Distribution  Date, (b) shall,  with respect to shares of Common Stock so
issued or sold by the Company upon exercise, conversion or exchange, in whole or
part, of any or all of the 5-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2002 issued
pursuant to that certain  Indenture  dated as of June 1, 1995, as may be amended

Trustee,  and (c) may, in any other case, if deemed  necessary or appropriate by
the Board of Directors of the Company,  issue Rights  Certificates  representing
the  appropriate  number of Rights in  connection  with such  issuance  or sale;
provided,  however, that (i) with respect to subparagraphs (a) and (c) above, no
such Rights  Certificates shall be issued if, and to the extent that the Company
shall be advised by counsel that such issuance  would create a significant  risk
of material  adverse tax  consequences to the Company or the Person to whom such
Rights  Certificates would be issued, and (ii) no such Rights Certificates shall
be issued if, and to the extent that,  appropriate  adjustment  shall  otherwise
have been made in lieu of the issuance thereof.
