3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in three ground water contamination claims
that are still in the early stages of the legal process.  Based on
investigations to date, management does not believe the Company
contributed to the alleged contamination and, therefore, is of the
opinion that the disposition of these claims will not result in any
material liability to the Company.

             BURR-BROWN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                         (In thousands)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Order bookings for the quarter were $48,092, up 18 percent from the
preceding quarter, primarily in North America and Asia, and up 9
percent from the corresponding quarter of 1993, primarily in Europe
and Asia.

Sales in the first quarter of 1994 were $47,355, up 16 percent from
sales of $40,876 for the previous quarter and up 12 percent from
sales of $42,280 for the first quarter of 1993.  The net currency
impact on sales was a favorable $240 when compared with the pre-
vious quarter and a favorable $1,091 when compared with the first
quarter of 1993.  This currency impact is primarily attributed to
the strengthening of the Japanese yen.

The increase in sales dollars was chiefly in our core components
business, although the power convertibles line is also showing
marked improvement.  With continued economic stability in the
Company's major markets, further growth in both sales and orders
can be anticipated for 1994.

First quarter gross margin of $22,874 increased 11 percent over the
previous quarter and 13 percent over the first quarter of 1993
primarily due to higher sales volume.  For the three months ended
April 2, 1994, gross margin remained level, as a percent of sales,
at 48 percent when compared to the first quarter of 1993.  However,
gross margin was down from 51 percent of sales in the previous
quarter primarily as the product mix changed.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased 4 percent, or $656,
over the previous quarter and 8 percent, or $1,357, over the first
quarter of 1993.  However, as a percentage of sales, these expenses
decreased 5 points from the previous quarter and 2 points from the
first quarter of 1993.  

As a result of the higher sales volume, income from operations of
$3,364 for the quarter reflected a 55 percent increase over the
year ago quarter.

The effective tax rate for the first three months of 1994 was 32
percent as compared with 45 percent in the corresponding period of
1993.  The lower rate in the current year is attributed to a shift
in the mix of earnings among the different tax jurisdictions in
which the Company operates.

Net income of $1,737 increased 106 percent over $845 in the
previous quarter and 204 percent over $572 in the first quarter of
1993.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first three months of 1994, the Company generated a cash
flow of $2,440 from operations. Cash and cash equivalents increased
$1,972 over December 31, 1993.  However, the flow of cash from
operations decreased $1,608 from the first quarter of 1993, and
this change was mainly due to increasing inventories and invest-
ments in research.  Compared to December 31, 1993, accounts
receivable increased $3,412 of which $1,616 was due to currency
translation, and the rest can primarily be attributed to North
America sales.

Expenditures for plant and equipment during the first three months
of 1994 totaled $2,451 while planned capital investments for the
whole year are anticipated to be from $10,000 to $14,000.  These
capital investments will be financed by cash from operations and,
if needed, by borrowing under existing credit lines.

                              - 7 -

FINANCIAL CONDITION (Cont'd)

The Company's current ratio decreased to 2.06 at April 2, 1994,
from 2.14 at December 31, 1993.  In addition to its term debt, the
Company had approximately $60,251 in credit facilities available
with domestic and overseas banks at the end of the first quarter,
of which approximately $18,631 or 31 percent was utilized.  Manage-
ment believes the Company has sufficient capital resources
available for the next 12 months.

The Company is a named party in three toxic tort cases.  After
undertaking extensive hydrological investigations and consultation
with independent environmental consultants, management does not
believe the Company contributed to the alleged contamination and,
therefore, is of the opinion that the disposition of these claims
will not result in any material liability to the Company.  However,
environmental litigation is inherently uncertain, and there can be
no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these claims.

             PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following three proceedings are not ordinary pending litiga-
tions:

     a.   Bahrs et.al. versus Hughes Aircraft Company, Burr-Brown
          Company, et.al., Superior Court, State of Arizona, Pima
          County.  Filed on January 13, 1992.  This case is a tort
          complaint charging that the Company released contaminants
          including Trichloroethylene (TCE) which went into the 
          ground waters.  The plaintiffs are charging that they and
          their respective properties are damaged and they are 
          asking for monetary damages.  The Company spent the first
          year discussing a stipulated dismissal.  The Company has
          now requested the Superior Court to begin consideration
          for dismissal.  The Company's insurer, under a reser- 
          vation of rights, has agreed to the payment of reasonable
          and necessary fees for the defense of this matter.

     b.   Yslava et.al. versus Hughes Aircraft Company, U.S. Dis-
          trict Court, District of Arizona.  Filed on September 20,
          1991.  This is a sister case where other plaintiffs
          allege that Hughes' discharge of toxic waste into the
          ground water that the plaintiffs drank has personally
          damaged them in an unspecified amount.  On September 30,
          1993, Burr-Brown and other companies were identified as
          third party co-defendants in a Motion to file a
          Third-Party Complaint.  The Company's insurer, under a
          reservation of rights, has agreed to the payment of
          reasonable and necessary fees for the defense of this
          matter.

     c.   Lanier versus Hughes Aircraft Company, U.S. District 
          Court, District of Arizona.  Filed on August 7, 1992.
          This is a sister case to the Yslava case where other
          plaintiffs allege that Hughes' discharge of toxic waste
          into the ground water the plaintiffs drank has personally
          damaged them in an unspecified amount.  On March 7, 1994,
          Burr-Brown and other companies were identified as third
          party co-defendants in a Motion to File a Third-Party
          Complaint.

          Risk exposure to the defendants is not ascertainable at
          this time.  The Company has factual records that indicate
          it is an improper party to these actions.
