There are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement the following documents and information heretofore filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission:

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
-2-
<PAGE>
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to grant indemnification to directors, officers and other agents in
terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances
for liabilities, including expenses, arising in connection with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Registrant, directors and
officers of the Registrant are indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by
law against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines or
settlement amounts incurred or paid by them in any action or proceeding,
including any action by or on behalf of the Registrant, on account of their
service as an officer or director of the Registrant. The Bylaws further provide
that the rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other right to which such persons may be entitled under Delaware General
Corporation Law, the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, as amended, precludes,
with certain exceptions, the Registrant and its stockholders from recovering
monetary damages from directors for business decisions that breach such
directors' fiduciary duty.
The Registrant also maintains directors and officers insurance
policies which insure directors and officers against losses arising from certain
wrongful acts in their official capacities and reimburses the Registrant for
such loss for which the Registrant has lawfully indemnified the directors and
officers. In addition, the Registrant has entered into an Indemnification
Agreement with each of its directors and officers whereby the Registrant has
agreed to indemnify each director and officer from and against any and all
expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities incurred by such director or
officer while acting in his or her official capacity.
The Underwriting Agreement among the Registrant and the
underwriters of the Registrant's May 1995 public offering contains certain
provisions pursuant to which the underwriters may, under certain circumstances,
indemnify the directors and officers of the Registrant. Directors and officers
of the Registrant may also be indemnified in certain circumstances under the
terms of other underwriting agreements entered into by the Registrant in
connection with prior public offerings.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Index to Exhibits.
Item 9. 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;
-3-
<PAGE>
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of
the 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 the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement
is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment 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 initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby further 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 Section 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 the 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 initial 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
foregoing provisions, 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, 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,
-4-
<PAGE>
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.

INTEGRATED DEVICE TECHNOLOGY, INC.
1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN
As Adopted October 30, 1997
As Amended April 21, 1998
1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to
attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential
contributions are important to the success of the Company, its Parent,
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in
the Company's future performance through awards of stock options. Capitalized
terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 19.
2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections
2.2 and 14, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and
issuance pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 4,500,000 Shares. Subject to
Sections 2.2 and 14, Shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an
Award but cease to be subject to such Award for any reason other than exercise
of such Award will again be available for grant and issuance under this Plan.
2.2 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the
number of outstanding Shares is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration, or
by a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Section 14.1) then, unless such change
results in the termination of all outstanding Awards as a result of the
Corporate Transaction, (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan and (b) the Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding
Awards shall be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the
Board or the stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable
securities laws; provided, however, that fractions of a Share shall not be
issued but shall either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value or shall be rounded
up to the nearest Share, as determined by the Committee; and provided, further,
that the Exercise Price of any Award may not be decreased to below the par value
of the Shares.
3. ELIGIBILITY. All Awards issued under the Plan shall be
Nonqualified Stock Options. Awards may be granted to employees, consultants,
independent contractors and advisors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company; provided that such employees, consultants, independent
contractors and advisors are not officers or directors of the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary of Affiliate of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and provided further that such consultants,
contractors and advisors render bona fide services not in connection with the
offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. A person may be
granted more than one Award under
<PAGE>
the Plan. Each person is eligible to receive up to an aggregate maximum of
100,000 Shares per fiscal year.
4. ADMINISTRATION.
4.1 Committee Authority. The Plan shall be administered by
the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the
Plan, the Committee shall have full power to implement and carry out the Plan.
The Committee shall have the authority to:
(a) construe and interpret the Plan, any Stock Option
Agreement and any other agreement or document executed
pursuant to the Plan;
(b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan;
(c) select persons to receive Awards;
(d) determine the form and terms of Awards;
(e) determine the number of Shares subject to Awards;
(f) determine whether Awards will be granted in replacement
of, or as alternatives to, other Awards under the Plan
or any other incentive or compensation plan of the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company;
(g) grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;
(h) determine the vesting and exercisability of Awards;
(i) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile
any inconsistency in the Plan, any Award or any Stock
Option Agreement;
(j) determine the disposition of Awards in the event of a
Participant's divorce or dissolution of marriage; and
(k) make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan.
4.2 Committee Discretion. Any determination made by the
Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the
time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of
the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and
binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the
Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the
-2-
<PAGE>
Company the authority to grant an Award under the Plan to Participants who are
not Insiders of the Company.
5. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Awards to eligible
persons and shall determine the number of Shares subject to the Award, the
Exercise Price of the Award, the period during which the Award may be exercised,
and all other terms and conditions of the Award, subject to the following:
5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Award granted under the
Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement and shall be in such form
and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as
the Committee shall from time to time approve, and which shall comply with and
be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award shall
be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Award,
unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a
copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time
after the granting of the Award.
5.3 Exercise Period. Awards shall be exercisable within
the times or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the
Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that no Award shall be exercisable
after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Award is granted. The
Committee also may provide for the exercise of Awards to become exercisable at
one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number or
percentage as the Committee determines.
5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be
determined by the Committee when the Award is granted and shall be not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.
5.5 Method of Exercise. Awards may be exercised only by
delivery to the Company of a written exercise agreement (the "Exercise
Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for
each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the
restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and
agreements regarding Participant's investment intent and access to information
and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to
comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the
Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.
5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods
set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Award shall always be
subject to the following:
(a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except
death or Disability, then Participant may exercise such
Participant's Awards only to the extent that such
Awards would have been exercisable upon the Termination
Date no later than three (3) months after the
Termination Date (or such longer
-3-
<PAGE>
time period not exceeding five years as may be
determined by the Committee), but in any event, no later
than the expiration date of the Awards.
(b) If the Participant is terminated because of death or
Disability (or the Participant dies within three months
of such termination), then Participant's Awards would
have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination
Date and must be exercised by Participant (or
Participant's legal representative or authorized
assignee) no later than (i) twelve (12) months after the
Termination Date in the case of disability or (ii)
eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date in the
case of death (or such longer time period not exceeding
five years as may be determined by the Committee), but
in any event no later than the expiration date of the
Awards.
5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a
reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an
Award; provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from
exercising the Award for the full number of Shares for which it is then
exercisable.
5.8 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee
may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards and authorize the grant of new
Awards in substitution therefor; provided that any such action may not, without
the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant's rights under any
Award previously granted. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of
outstanding Awards without the consent of Participants affected by a written
notice to them; provided, however, that the Exercise Price may not be reduced
below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted under Section 5.4 of
the Plan for Awards granted on the date the action is taken to reduce the
Exercise Price; and provided, further, that the Exercise Price shall not be
reduced below the par value of the Shares, if any.
6. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES. Payment for Shares purchased
pursuant to the Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved
for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted by law:
(a) by surrender of Shares that either: (1) have been owned
by Participant for more than six (6) months and have
been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and,
if such shares were purchased from the Company by use
of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid
with respect to such Shares); or (2) were obtained by
Participant in the public market;
(b) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant
for services rendered;
(c) provided that a public market for the Company's stock
exists:
-4-
<PAGE>
(1) through a "same day sale" commitment from
Participant and a broker-dealer that is a
member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers (a "NASD Dealer") whereby
the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise
the Award and to sell a portion of the Shares
so purchased in order to pay for the Exercise
Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably
commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward
the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or
(2) through a "margin" commitment from Participant
and a NASD Dealer whereby Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise the Award and
to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD
Dealer in a margin account as security for a
loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such
Shares to forward the exercise price directly
to the Company; or
(d) by any combination of the foregoing.
7. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
7.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to
be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may
require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy
federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of
any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under the Plan,
payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be
net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements.
7.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax
laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise of any
Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay
the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may allow the
Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld,
determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this
purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.
8. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.
8.1 Voting and Dividends. No Participant shall have
any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares
are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the
Participant shall be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with
respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or
other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares.
-5-
<PAGE>
8.2 Financial Statements. The Company shall provide
financial statements to each Participant prior to such Participant's purchase of
Shares under the Plan, and to each Participant annually during the period such
Participant has Awards outstanding; provided, however, the Company shall not be
required to provide such financial statements to Participants whose services in
connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
9. TRANSFERABILITY. Subject to Section 4.1(j), Awards granted
under the Plan, and any interest therein, shall not: (a) be transferable or
assignable by the Participant, (b) be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or as consistent with the specific Plan and Stock Option Agreement
provisions relating thereto or (c) during the lifetime of the Participant, be
exercisable by anyone other than the Participant, and any elections with respect
to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.
10. CERTIFICATES. All certificates for Shares or other
securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer
orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or
advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or
any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be
listed.
11. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. An Award
shall not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental
body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
upon which the Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of
grant of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no
obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to
(a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company
determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration
or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling
of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or
advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares with
the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing
requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation
system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure to
do so.
12. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in the Plan or any Award
granted under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant
any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship
with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit
in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company to terminate Participant's employment or other relationship at any
time, with or without cause.
-6-
<PAGE>
13. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS. The Committee may, at any
time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the
respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and
cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy
from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or
other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the
Participant shall agree.
14. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.
14.1 Corporate Transactions. In the event of a
Corporate Transaction (as defined in this Section 14.1), the exercisability of
each Award shall be automatically accelerated so that each Award shall,
immediately before the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction,
become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of Shares and may be
exercised for all or any portion of such Shares; provided, that an Award shall
not be accelerated if and to the extent that such Award is, in connection with
the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation or
parent thereof or to be replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of
the capital stock of the successor corporation or parent thereof. The
determination of comparability shall be made by the Committee, and the
Committee's determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Upon the
consummation of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Awards shall, to the
extent not previously exercised or assumed by the successor corporation or its
parent, terminate and cease to be exercisable.
"Corporate Transaction" means (a) a merger or
acquisition in which the Company is not the surviving entity (except for a
transaction the principal purpose of which is to change the State in which the
Company is incorporated), (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or (c) any other corporate
reorganization or business combination that is not approved by the Board and in
which the beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the Company's outstanding
voting stock is transferred.
14.2 Change in Control. Notwithstanding any
provision in Section 14.1 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control
(as defined in this Section 14.2), each Award shall automatically accelerate
effective fifteen (15) days following the effective date of the Change in
Control, so that each Award shall become fully exercisable with respect to the
total number of Shares and may be exercised for all or any portion of such
Shares. Upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Awards accelerated shall
remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the Award
term specified in the Stock Option Agreement.
A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to occur:
(a) should a person or related group of persons, other than the Company or a
person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act) of 25%
or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock pursuant to a tender or
exchange offer that the Board does not recommend and that the stockholders of
the Company accept; or (b) on the first date within any period of twenty-four
(24) consecutive months or less on which there is effected a change in the
composition of the Board by reason of a contested
-7-
<PAGE>
election such that a majority of the Board members cease to be comprised of
individuals who either (i) have been members of the Board continuously since the
beginning of such period or (ii) have been elected or nominated for election as
Board members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members
described in clause (i) who were still in office at the time such election or
nomination was approved by the Board.
14.3 Dissolution. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify the
Participant at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the
extent that Awards have not been previously exercised, such Awards will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
14.4 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The
Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards
granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such
other company or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in
substitution of such other company's award, or (b) assuming such award as if it
had been granted under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be
applied to an Award granted under the Plan. Such substitution or assumption
shall be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would
have been eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan if the other company
had applied the rules of the Plan to such grant. In the event the Company
assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such
award shall remain unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and
nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted
appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company
elects to grant a new Award rather than assuming an existing option, such new
Award may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.
15. ADOPTION AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan shall become
effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date").
16. TERM OF PLAN. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein,
the Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date.
17. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may at any time
terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation
amendment of any form of Stock Option Agreement or instrument to be executed
pursuant to the Plan, provided, however, that no amendment may be made to
outstanding Awards without the consent of the Participant.
18. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of the Plan
by the Board, nor any provision of the Plan, shall be construed as creating any
limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements
may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

INTEGRATED DEVICE TECHNOLOGY, INC.
1984 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(Amended and Restated Effective as of August 25, 1993)
(Amended as of April 29, 1997)
(Amended as of August 27, 1998)
Section 1. Establishment of the Plan.
The Integrated Device Technology, Inc. qualified Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is amended and restated to increase the shares
available for purchase under the Plan and to comply with the requirements of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Plan provides Eligible
Employees with an opportunity to purchase the Company's common stock so that
they may increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company. The
Plan, which provides for the purchase of stock through payroll withholding, is
intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.
Section 2. Definitions.
(a) "Board of Directors" or "Board" means the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(b) "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
(c) "Company" means Integrated Device Technology, Inc., a
Delaware corporation.
(d) "Compensation" means the base compensation paid to a
Participant during a Participation Period in cash or in kind including overtime
and shift differential. Incentive compensation, commissions and other bonuses
and other forms of compensation for work outside the regular work schedule are
excluded.
(e) "Date of Participation" means the first day of a
Participation Period.
(f) "Eligible Employee" means any Employee of a Participating
Company (i) who has been continuously employed by the Participating Company for
at least three (3) months prior to the commencement of a Participation Period,
(ii) who is customarily employed for more than twenty (20) hours per week, (iii)
who is customarily employed for more than five (5) months per calendar year, and
(iv) who is an Employee at the Commencement of a Participation Period. If an
Employee has been employed less than three months and is granted a formal leave
<PAGE>
of absence, service, prior to and after the leave, will count toward the three
months waiting period for eligibility. Rehired Employees with less than a six
month break in service will receive full credit for past service to determine
eligibility; otherwise, rehired Employees will be treated as new Employees for
purposes of eligibility.
In the event an Eligible Employee fails to remain in the
continuous employ of a Participating Company customarily for at least twenty
(20) hours per week during a Participation Period, he will be deemed to have
elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to his
account will be returned to him; provided that a Participant who goes on an
unpaid leave of absence shall be permitted to remain in the Plan with respect to
a Participation Period which commenced prior to such leave of absence. If such
Participant is not guaranteed reemployment by contract or statute and the leave
of absence extends beyond ninety (90) days, such Participant shall be deemed to
have terminated employment on the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave of
absence. Payroll deductions for a Participant who has been on an unpaid leave of
absence will resume at the same rate as in effect prior to such leave upon
return to work unless changed by such Participant or unless the Participant has
been on an unpaid leave of absence either throughout an entire Participation
Period or for more than 90 days, in which case the Participant shall not be
permitted to re-enter the Plan until a participation agreement is filed with
respect to a subsequent Participation Period which commences after such
Participant has returned to work from the unpaid leave of absence.
(g) "Employee" means any common-law employee of a
Participating Company.
(h) "Fair Market Value" of a share of Stock means the market
price of Stock, determined as follows: (i) if the Stock was traded
over-the-counter on the date in question but was not classified as a national
market issue, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the closing bid price
quoted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("Nasdaq") for
such date; (ii) if the Stock is traded over-the-counter on the date in question
and was classified as a national market issue, then the Fair Market Value shall
be equal to the last-transaction price quoted by the Nasdaq system for such
date; (iii) if the Stock is traded on a national exchange on the date in
question, then the Fair Market Value shall be the highest closing bid price
reported on such exchange for such date. If the Stock is not traded on the date
as of which the Fair Market Value is to be determined, Fair Market Value shall
be determined as of the first preceding date on which Stock was traded. In all
cases the determination of Fair Market Value by the Board of Directors shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.
(i) "Participant" means an Eligible Employee who elects to
participate in the Plan, as provided in Section 5 hereof.
(j) "Participating Company" means the Company and such present
or future Subsidiaries of the Company as the Board of Directors shall from time
to time designate.

Participant pursuant to Section 9(a).
(m) "Purchase Price" means the price at which Participants may

Company.
(o) "Subsidiary" means a subsidiary corporation as defined in
Section 425 of the Code.
Section 3. Duration; Shares Authorized.
The Plan shall terminate on the last day of the Company's 2008-2009
fiscal year, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. The maximum
aggregate number of shares which may be offered under the Plan shall be
7,000,000 shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13
hereof.
Section 4. Administration.
(a) The Plan shall be administered by a Plan Administrator
appointed by the Board of Directors. The interpretation and construction by the
Plan Administrator of any provision of the Plan or of any right to purchase
stock qualified hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.
(b) No member of the Board or the Plan Administrator shall be
liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or the right to purchase Stock hereunder. The Plan Administrator shall be
indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's
fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which
it may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan or any stock purchased thereunder, and against all
amounts paid by it in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by it in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or
proceeding that the Plan Administrator is liable for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of its duties; provided that within sixty (60) days after
institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, the Plan Administrator shall
in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and
defend the same.
(c) All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan
shall be paid by the Company. The Board or the Plan Administrator may request
advice for assistance or employ such other persons as are necessary for proper
administration of the Plan.
Section 5. Eligibility and Participation.
3
<PAGE>
(a) Any person who qualifies or will qualify as an Eligible
Employee on the Date of Participation with respect to a Participation Period may
elect to participate in the Plan for such Participation Period. An Eligible
Employee may elect to participate by executing the participation agreement
prescribed for such purpose by the Plan Administrator. The participation
agreement shall be filed with the Plan Administrator no later than the deadline
stated on the participation agreement, and if none is stated, then no later than
the first day of the Participation Period. The Eligible Employee shall designate
on the participation agreement the percentage of his or her Compensation which
he or she elects to have withheld for the purchase of Stock, which may be any
whole percentage from 2 to 10% of the Participant's Compensation.
(b) By enrolling in the Plan, a Participant shall be deemed to
have elected to purchase the maximum number of whole shares of Stock which can
be purchased with the amount of the Participant's Compensation which is withheld
during the Participation Period. However, with respect to any Participation
Period, no Participant shall be eligible to purchase more than two thousand five
hundred (2,500) shares of Stock (appropriately adjusted if the Participation
Period is longer than a fiscal quarter and for events described in Section 13),
provided that such amount shall not result in the limitations set forth in
Section 14 being exceeded.
(c) Once enrolled, a Participant will continue to participate
in the Plan for each succeeding Participation Period until he or she terminates
participation or ceases to qualify as an Eligible Employee. A Participant who
withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Section 10 may again become a
Participant, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the
procedure described in Section 5(a).
Section 6. Participation Periods.
The Plan shall be implemented by one or more Participation Periods of
not more than twenty-seven (27) months each. (The current duration of each
Participation Period is each of the Company's fiscal quarters, and the
Participation Periods commence on the first day of each such quarter.) The Board
of Directors may determine the duration of each Participation Period and the
commencement dates, provided that no Participation Period shall have a
commencement date after January 1, 2009.
Section 7. Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price for each share of Stock shall be the lesser of (i)
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of such share on the Date of
Participation or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of such
share on the last trading day during the Participation Period.
Section 8. Employee Contributions.
A Participant may purchase shares of Stock solely by means of payroll
deductions. Payroll deductions, as designated by the Participant pursuant to
Section 5(a), shall commence with the first paycheck issued during the
Participation Period and shall be deducted from each subsequent paycheck
throughout the Participation Period. If a Participant desires to decrease the
4
<PAGE>
rate of payroll withholding during the Participation Period, he or she may do
so, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, one time during a Participation
Period by filing a new participation agreement with the Plan Administrator. Such
decrease will be effective as of the first day of the second payroll period
which begins following the receipt of the new participation agreement. If a
Participant desires to increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding, he
or she may do so effective for the next Participation Period by filing a new
participation agreement with the Plan Administrator on or before the date
specified by the Plan Administrator, and if none is stated, then no later than
the first day of the Participation Period for which such change is to be
effective.
Section 9. Plan Accounts; Purchase of Shares.
(a) The Company will maintain a Plan Account on its books in
the name of each Participant. At the close of each pay period, the amount
deducted from the Participant's Compensation will be credited to the
Participant's Plan Account.
(b) As of the last day of each Participation Period, the
amount then in the Participant's Plan Account will be divided by the Purchase
Price, and the number of whole shares which results (subject to the limitations
described in Section 5(b), 9(c) and 14) shall be purchased from the Company with
the funds in the Participant's Plan Account. Share certificates representing the
number of shares of Stock so purchased shall be delivered to a brokerage account
designated by the Plan Administrator and kept in such account pursuant to a
participation agreement (which shall be uniform) between each Participant and
the Company and subject to the conditions described therein.
(c) In the event that the aggregate number of shares which all
Participants elect to purchase during a Participation Period shall exceed the
number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan, then the
number of shares to which each Participant shall become entitled shall be
determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance by a
fraction the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares the
Participant has elected to purchase pursuant to Section 5, and the denominator
of which is the sum of the number of shares which all employees have elected to
purchase pursuant to Section 5. Any cash amount remaining in the Participant's
Plan Account under these circumstances shall be refunded to the Participant.
(d) Any amount remaining in the Participant's Plan Account
caused by a surplus due to fractional shares after deducting the amount of the
Purchase Price for the number of whole shares issued to the Participant shall be
carried over in the Participant's Plan Account for the succeeding Participation
Period, without interest. Any amount remaining in the Participant's Plan Account
caused by anything other than a surplus due to fractional shares shall be
refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest.
(e) As soon as practicable following the end of each
Participation Period, the Company shall deliver to each Participant a Plan
Account statement setting forth the amount of payroll deductions, the purchase
price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
Section 10. Withdrawal From the Plan.
A Participant may elect to withdraw from participation under the Plan
at any time up to the last day of a Participation Period by filing the
prescribed form with the Plan Administrator. As soon as practicable after a
withdrawal, payroll deductions shall cease and all amounts credited to the
Participant's Plan Account will be refunded in cash, without interest. A
Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a Participant in future
Participation Periods, unless he or she again enrolls in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.
5
<PAGE>
Section 11. Effect of Termination of Employment or Death.
(a) Termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any
reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal from the
Plan under Section 10. A transfer from one Participating Company to another
shall not be treated as a termination of employment.
(b) A Participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
Participant's Account under the Plan in the event of such Participant's death
subsequent to the purchase of shares but prior to delivery to him of such shares
and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant's Account under the
Plan in the event of such Participant's death prior to the last day of a
Participation Period.
(c) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
Participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
Participant in the absence of a valid designation of a beneficiary who is living
at the time of such Participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares
and/or cash in accordance with the Participant's designation of beneficiaries
under the Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan; or, in
the absence of such designation, to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the Participant; or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the Participant; or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to
the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
Section 12. Rights Not Transferable.
The rights or interests of any Participant in the Plan, or in any Stock
or moneys to which he or she may be entitled under the Plan, shall not be
transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, or
by any other manner other than as permitted by the Code or by will or the laws
of descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner attempts to
transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under the
Plan, other than as permitted by the Code or by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, such act shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal under Section
10.
Section 13. Recapitalization, Etc.
6
<PAGE>
(a) The aggregate number of shares of Stock offered under the
Plan, the number and price of shares which any Participant has elected to
purchase pursuant to Section 5 and the maximum number of shares which a
Participant may elect to purchase under the Plan in any Participation Period
shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares
or any other capital adjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other
increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by
the Company.
(b) In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a constituent
corporation, this Plan shall terminate, unless the plan of merger, consolidation
or reorganization provides otherwise, and all amounts which each Participant has
paid towards the Purchase Price of Stock hereunder shall be refunded, without
interest.
(c) The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any
way the Company's right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger,
consolidation or other reorganization.
Section 14. Limitation on Stock Ownership.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no Participant
shall be permitted to elect to participate in the Plan (i) if such Participant,
immediately after his or her election to participate, would own stock possessing
five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all
classes of stock of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or
(ii) if under the terms of the Plan the rights of the Employee to purchase Stock
under this Plan and all other qualified employee stock purchase plans of the
Company or its Subsidiaries would accrue at a rate which exceeds twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000) of the Fair Market Value of such Stock (determined at
the time such right is granted) for each calendar year for which such right is
outstanding at any time. For purposes of this Section 14, ownership of stock
shall be determined by the attribution rules of Section 425(d) of the Code, and
Participants shall be considered to own any stock which they have a right to
purchase under this or any other stock plan.
Section 15. No Rights as an Employee.
Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any person the right to
remain in the employ of a Participating Company. Each Participating Company
reserves the right to terminate the employment of any person at any time and for
any reason.
Section 16. Rights as a Stockholder.
A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any
shares he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan until the date of
issuance of a stock certificate to the brokerage account designated by the Plan
Administrator for shares of Stock issued pursuant to the Plan.
Section 17. Use of Funds.
7
<PAGE>
All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan
may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not
be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions in separate accounts.
Section 18. Amendment or Termination of the Plan.
The Board of Directors shall have the right to amend, modify or
terminate the Plan at any time without notice. An amendment of the Plan shall be
subject to shareholder approval only to the extent required by applicable laws,
regulations or rules.
Section 19. Governing Law.
The Plan shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
To record the adoption of this amended and restated Plan, the Company
has caused its authorized officer to execute the same this 25th day of August,
1993.

Santa Clara, CA 95054
Gentlemen/Ladies:
At your request, I, your General Counsel, have examined the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed by
you with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on or about
September 25, 1998 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 3,950,000 shares of your Common Stock,
$.001 par value (the "Stock"), subject to issuance by you upon the exercise of
stock options granted or to be granted by your under your 1997 Stock Option Plan
(the "1997 Option Plan") and purchase rights granted or to be granted by you
under your 1984 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "1984 Purchase Plan").
It is my opinion that the 3,950,000 shares of Stock that may be issued
and sold by you upon the exercise of stock options granted or to be granted
under the 1997 Option Plan and purchase rights granted or to be granted under
the 1984 Purchase Plan, when issued and sold in accordance with the applicable
plan and, where applicable, stock option agreements to be entered into
thereunder, and in the manner referred to in the relevant Prospectus associated
with the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and
