     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 29,
1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 1997.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1996, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No.128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be
adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute earnings
per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact is
expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share
for the first quarter ended March 29, 1997, and March 30, 1996, of
$.01 and $.02 per share, respectively.  The impact of Statement
128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for
these quarters is not expected to be material.


2. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

                             $51,361       $49,570 
</TABLE>

3. TAX RATE

The effective tax rate for 1997 is estimated to be 30%. The
Company's effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory
rate due to expected benefits from tax exempt investment income,
a foreign sales corporation, and tax credits.


4. STOCK SPLIT

On March 4, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
three for two stock distribution to stockholders of record on
March 18, 1997, payable in April, 1997.  Fractional shares were
paid in cash to those shareholders whose shares on the record date
were not evenly divisible by two.


5. CONTINGENCIES

Subsequent to March 29, 1997, the Company settled a patent
infringement case that had been outstanding at December 31, 1996.
The plaintiff had alleged that Burr-Brown had infringed upon its
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) terminator patents.  The
terms of the settlement agreement, which are confidential, are
not expected to materially impact the Company's financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



     BURR-BROWN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Factors that
might cause actual results to differ from those currently
anticipated include, but are not limited to, those discussed
under Factors Affecting Future Results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the first quarter of 1997 was $6.6 million or $.26
per share.  This compared to net income of $5.8 million or $.23
per share for the preceding quarter and to $11.6 million or $.46
per share for the year ago quarter.  Net income for the first
quarter of 1996 was comprised of income from recurring operations
of $6.8 million or $.27 per share and a non-recurring gain of
$4.8 million or $.19 per share related to the sale of  Power
Convertibles Corporation (PCC), a subsidiary sold during that
quarter.  No net income was provided from operations of PCC
during the first quarter of 1996.  Excluding this gain, when
comparing the first quarter of 1997 to the year ago quarter, net
income from recurring operations decreased by only 3.2%.

First quarter, 1997, new order bookings were up significantly
from the fourth quarter of 1996, and were also higher than
bookings in the first quarter of last year.

Revenue for the first quarter of 1997 of $54.8 million was up
8.4% from the fourth quarter of 1996.  Revenue declined by $6.4
million or 10.5% from the first quarter of 1996. During the first
quarter of 1997, sales into Southeast Asia nearly doubled both
sequentially and over last year, driven in large part by emerging
markets such as China and by strong demand for digital audio and
video products throughout the region. Although all product lines
were up, digital audio and video and communications products
showed the most strength.  First quarter revenue was 5.9% lower
than that of the year ago quarter after excluding $3 million of
revenue realized in first quarter, 1996, from PCC. This decline
was occasioned by an overall softening in demand throughout the
industry; the first industry-wide contraction since 1985.

First quarter gross margin was sustained at 50% of revenue both
sequentially and as compared to first quarter a year ago.
Exclusive of currency impacts, pricing remained stable.  Mix
continues to shift toward higher volume products with lower
average selling prices but, to date, the Company's cost
containment efforts have succeeded in avoiding an adverse effect
on aggregate gross margin. Gross margin benefited from lower
wafer prices from external fab foundries and from a relatively
higher level of factory utilization.  In addition, yields for the
quarter set new Company records and further manufacturing
spending efficiencies were achieved.  The Company's long term
model for gross margin is 53%, and progress is expected to be
made toward that objective during the current year.  Gross margin
improvements should be realized when there is an acceleration in
revenue growth.

At $18.8 million, operating expenses for the first quarter were
up slightly over the previous quarter but declined as a percent
of sales to 34.3% from 36.7%.  Compared to the year ago quarter,
operating expenses decreased $3.4 million or 15%.  Research and
Development (R&D) spending of $7.2 million accounted for 13.2% of
revenue, well within the Company's long term operating model
range. The Company's model ratio for R&D is 14% of sales, and
spending is expected to be at that level for most of the current
year in order to support a goal of 100 new product introductions
during 1997 and to continue development of next generation
proprietary wafer fab processes.

At $11.5 million; Sales, Marketing and G&A (SMG&A) expenses
declined to 21.1% of sales from 22.1% in the preceding quarter.
Compared to first quarter a year ago, SMG&A expenses declined by
$3.3 million from 24.2% of revenue.  Although much progress has
been made in bringing this ratio down, much more must be achieved
to meet the Company's long term model of 18%.  In order to
support this objective, the use of third party distribution has
been greatly expanded to a point where now about 40% of worldwide
revenue is derived through this channel.  This not only reduces
selling expenses but also expands market coverage and allows for
more focus on key accounts by the internal sales force.  All
administrative, logistics and inventory functions are being
consolidated within three regional service centers worldwide. The
adoption of a common, worldwide information system is also
expected to reduce administrative costs.  It is through programs
such as these, coupled with strict expense control, that the
Company should realize its long term model.


Income from operations improved, compared to the previous
quarter, by $1.9 million or 28.3% to $8.6 million or 15.7% of
revenue in the first quarter, up from 13.3% in fourth quarter,
1996, and from 13.9% in the first quarter of last year.  This
improvement is primarily due to increased operating leverage
brought about by revenue growth and operating expense control.
The Company's operating profit model is 21%, which the Company
plans to achieve by continued gross margin expansion, continued
constraint on SMG&A expenses and revenue growth.  Progress is
expected to be realized on this ratio during the rest of this
year.

First quarter other income increased sequentially.  Interest
income on invested cash is the primary component of other income.
Improvements in foreign currency hedging programs minimized
foreign exchange transaction losses as compared to the fourth
quarter of 1996.

The absence of any one-time favorable tax events caused the tax
rate to rise to 30% from the 18.6% of fourth quarter, 1996, and
from the 25.5% for the total year of 1996.  30% is the tax rate
expected to be in effect for all of 1997.  Long term expectations
are that the tax rate will trend toward the federal statutory
rate of 35%.  The Company will, however, continue to aggressively
pursue opportunities to reduce its worldwide tax expense.

Net income for the quarter was $6.6 million or 12% of revenue, up
from $5.8 million or 11.4% of revenue last quarter.  Net income
was up 13.7%, sequentially, on a revenue increase of 8.4%.  The
Company's long term operating model for net income is 15% of
revenue, which the Company plans to achieve through revenue
growth driven by R&D investments; increased penetration of
traditional markets; expanded participation in new, emerging
markets; and through improved gross margin and constrained SMG&A
expense growth.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

International markets constitute the majority source of the
Company's revenues.  The resulting transactions have exchange
rate fluctuation risk associated with them.  Exchange rate risk
is reduced through the natural hedges afforded by the Company's
foreign operations, dollar-based or dollar-indexed sales
transactions whenever possible and by the purchase of forward
foreign exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency net
accounts receivable due from international subsidiaries.  In
addition, the Company has entered into forward contracts and
option contracts against anticipated foreign exchange cash flows.
The forward contracts are in three primary currencies:  Japanese
Yen, British Pounds and German Marks.  Exchange rate fluctuations
can also affect the Company's reported revenue to the extent that
the international subsidiaries' sales are in non-indexed foreign
currencies but reported in the consolidated financial statements
in U.S. dollars using a weighted average exchange rate.  When
compared to the first quarter of 1996, foreign exchange rate
changes had approximately a 7% unfavorable impact on revenue.
Hedging activity resulted in a much smaller unfavorable impact on
net income.

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS

The foregoing plans are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including the following:  Factors that could
materially and adversely affect net revenue, gross margin, and
profitability include the volume and timing of orders, changes in
product mix, market acceptance of the Company's and its
customers' products, competitive pricing pressures, fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates, new product introductions,
and fluctuations in manufacturing yields.  Average selling prices
typically decrease over the life of particular products.  If the
Company is unable to introduce new products with higher average
selling prices or reduce manufacturing costs to offset decreases
in the prices of its existing products, the Company's operating
results will be adversely affected.  In addition, the Company is
limited in its ability to reduce costs quickly in response to any
revenue shortfalls.  To meet anticipated future demand and to
utilize a broader range of fabrication processes, the Company
intends to increase its manufacturing capacity.  Given the
complexity and expense of designing and constructing a
significant expansion of a semiconductor fabrication plant,
during the construction of the additions, the Company's
manufacturing yields could be materially and adversely impacted.
The Company is subject to several risks associated  with its
international operations; including unexpected changes in
regulatory requirements, delays resulting from difficulty in
obtaining export licenses for certain technology, foreign
exchange fluctuations, tariffs and other barriers and
restrictions, and the burdens of complying with a variety of
foreign laws.  The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive.
Many of the Company's competitors have substantially greater
financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources
than the Company.  In the event of a downturn in the market for
analog circuits, companies that have broader product lines may be
in a stronger competitive position than the Company.  Other risks
potentially affecting future operating results are set forth in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial position remains sound.  Cash, cash
equivalents and investments at $79.4 million declined by $10
million in the quarter, primarily due to debt reduction of $5.4
million and capital equipment purchases of $6.2 million.
Inventories and accounts receivable increased due to a higher
level of business activity.  Net inventory increased $1.8 million
or 3.6% to $51.4 million when compared to last year end.  For the
remainder of the year, inventory is expected to remain relatively
flat in absolute terms and decline as a percent of sales with
revenue growth.  This will be accomplished through cost and cycle
time reductions, increased use of the distribution channel and
consolidation of inventories in regional service centers.
Currently, annual inventory turns are less than two; the
Company's near-term objective is to improve this to greater than
three.

An increase in demand toward the end of the year and timing of
payments caused accounts receivable days sales outstanding to
improve from 74 to 71 days.  Accounts receivable is expected to
increase with revenue, as days sales outstanding decline throughout
the year.

Modernization and standardization of manufacturing equipment was
a significant driver in capital spending as was next generation
technology development. First quarter expenditures for plant and
equipment totaled $6.2 million compared to $6.6 million for the
same period last year.  Plans call for $18 to $20 million to be
invested in 1997.  Budgeted capital investments primarily target
modernization of test, design and manufacturing processes and an
enterprise-wide upgrade of information systems.

At March 29, 1997, total debt was $10.6 million of which $2.4
million was term debt.  This compares to total debt of $17.5
million at 1996 year end.  Most of this debt was held in Japan
and represented an interest rate arbitrage situation for the
Company. In addition to term debt, credit facilities of
approximately $50.2 million with both domestic and international
banks were available to the Company of which approximately $8.2
million or 16% was utilized.  The current ratio improved from
2.76 at year end to 2.84 at March 29, 1997 .

In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be
adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute earnings
per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact is
expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share
for the first quarter ended March 29, 1997, and March 30, 1996, of
$.01 and $.02 per share, respectively.  The impact of Statement
128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for
these quarters is not expected to be material.

Stockholders' equity increased by over $5 million or 2.8% in the
quarter.  The Company believes its financial position to be quite
strong and adequate to pursue all aspects of its ongoing
strategy. Given both the current cash position and available
credit facilities, Management believes the Company has sufficient
capital resources available to meet its requirements for the
foreseeable future.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There currently are no lawsuits pending against the Company,
other than ordinary pending litigation or administrative
proceedings. Recently, the Company settled a patent infringement
case that had been filed against it on July 11, 1994 by Unitrode
Corporation, captioned Unitrode Corporation v. Burr-Brown
Corporation, 94-11393RGS, U.S. District Court, District of
Massachusetts.  Unitrode had alleged that Burr-Brown had
infringed upon its Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
terminator patents, numbers 5,272,396 and 5,338,979.  The terms
of the settlement agreement, which are confidential, are not
expected to materially impact the Company's financial condition,
results of operations, or cash flows.
