                 Report of Independent Auditors

Burr-Brown Corporation as Plan Administrator of the
Burr-Brown Corporation Future Investment Trust


We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  net  assets
available  for  benefits  of  the Burr-Brown  Corporation  Future
Investment  Trust  as  of December 31, 1999  and  1998,  and  the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for  the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements
are   the   responsibility   of  the   Plan's   management.   Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on  these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with auditing  standards
generally accepted in the United States. Those standards  require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about  whether  the  financial statements are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An  audit includes examining,  on  a  test  basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An  audit  also includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well  as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe  that our audits provide a reasonable basis  for  our
opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements  referred  to  above
present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  net   assets
available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and  the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the
year  ended  December  31,  1999, in conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our  audits were performed for the purpose of forming an  opinion
on  the  financial statements taken as a whole. The  accompanying
supplemental schedule of assets held for investment  purposes  at
end  of year as of December 31, 1999 is presented for the purpose
of  additional  analysis  and  is not  a  required  part  of  the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security  Act  of
1974.   The   schedule  is  the  responsibility  of  the   Plan's
management.  The  schedule  has been subjected  to  the  auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and,
in  our  opinion,  is fairly stated in all material  respects  in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1999


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Method

The  financial  statements  of the Burr-Brown  Corporation  (BBC)
Future  Investment Trust (the Plan) are prepared on  the  accrual
basis of accounting.

Valuation of Investments

The  Plan's  investments are stated at fair value. Mutual  funds,
common  trust  funds, and shares of BBC common stock  are  valued
based on quoted sales price on the last business day of the  Plan
year.  Participant  loans are valued at cost  which  approximates
fair  value.  The  cost of BBC common stock sold or  distributed,
common  trust  funds  sold, and mutual funds sold  is  determined
using the first-in, first-out method.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
accounting  principles generally accepted in  the  United  States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain  1998  amounts have been reclassified to conform  to  the
1999 financial statement presentation.

2. Description of the Plan

The  following  description  of the Plan  provides  only  general
information.  Participants  should  refer  to  the  Summary  Plan
Description  of  the Amended and Restated Burr-Brown  Corporation
Future  Investment  Trust and/or the Plan  document  for  a  more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The   Plan   is   a  defined  contribution  plan   which   covers
substantially  all  employees  immediately  upon  employment  and
provides for retirement, death, and disability benefits. The Plan
is  subject  to the provisions of the Employee Retirement  Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions

Each  participant is entitled to make a pre-tax salary  reduction
contribution from 1% to 15% of their eligible salary (1%  to  10%
of eligible salary for highly compensated participants as defined
in  the  Plan  document), subject to limits under  the  tax  law.
Twenty-five  percent  of  each  participant's  salary   reduction
contribution is matched by BBC.

Participant Accounts

Eight  accounts are maintained for each participant:  an Employee
Deferral  Contributions Account which contains each participant's
personal  contributions  through  salary  reduction;  a   Company
Matching  Contributions  Account which  contains  BBC's  matching
contributions; a 1986 Profit Sharing Account and a Company Profit
Sharing  Contributions  Account which contain  the  participant's
share   of  BBC's  discretionary  contributions;  a  Stock  Bonus
Rollover Account which contains each participant's share of funds
transferred  from  their Stock Bonus Account; a Rollover  Account
for   each   participant   who  makes  a  rollover   contribution
(collectively  the six accounts are invested in individual  funds
in accordance with participants instructions and are presented as
participant  directed funds); a Loan Account; and a  Stock  Bonus
Account  which  contains the participant's  share  of  BBC  stock
transferred from a predecessor defined contribution plan  to  the
Plan.  At  the  end  of each quarter, the separate  accounts  are
adjusted  to reflect each participant's share of the  income  and
gain  or  loss experienced by the applicable fund. The employer's
matching  contribution is credited weekly  or  bi-weekly  to  the
participant's Company Matching Contributions Account.  The  Board
of  BBC  may,  in  its  sole discretion, make  a  profit  sharing
contribution  which will be credited annually  on  the  basis  of
compensation   to  the  participant's  Company   Profit   Sharing
Contributions  Account, if any, for participants who  are  active
employees as of year end.

The  Plan  was  amended on July 1, 1995 to allow participants  to
transfer  all or part of their Stock Bonus Account into  a  Stock
Bonus  Rollover  Account, which could then  be  invested  at  the
participants'  direction with other participant  directed  funds.
The  opportunity  for  participants to initiate  these  transfers
expired on April 15, 1996.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)

Vesting

Each  participant  is  100%  vested in  their  Employee  Deferral
Contributions Account, 1986 Profit Sharing Account,  Stock  Bonus
Rollover Account, Stock Bonus Account and Rollover Account.  Each
participant  is 25% vested after one year of vesting  service  in
his/her  Company Profit Sharing Contributions Account and Company
Matching  Contributions Account with such vesting  increasing  by
25%  for  each  year  of  vesting service thereafter,  until  the
participant  is  fully vested after four years. All  participants
become  fully  vested  in their accounts upon  Plan  termination,
death,  disability (as defined in the Plan document)  and  normal
retirement age (age 65).

Any  forfeitures incurred by Plan participants are used to reduce
future   Company  contributions.   As  of  December   31,   1999,
forfeitures totaling $147,385 remained unused by BBC.

Payment of Benefits

On  termination of service, a participant will receive a lump-sum
amount equal to the vested value of the participant's account.

Plan Termination

Although  it  has not expressed any intent to do so, the  Company
has the right to terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event of
termination of the Plan, all participants become fully vested and
the net assets of the Plan are to be distributed by the board  of
trustees.

Participant Notes Receivable

Participants   may   borrow   from   their   Employee    Deferral
Contributions and Rollover Accounts a minimum of $1,000 up  to  a
maximum  of $50,000 or 50% of their vested funds. The  loans  are
collateralized   by   50%  of  the  balance   credited   to   the
participants' accounts and bear interest at a rate of 1% over the
prime  rate.  Loan terms range from 1 to 15 years  and  are  paid
ratably through payroll deductions, or if payroll deductions  are
not possible, through quarterly installments.

Other Receivables

Other  receivables  of $1,001,544 represent  unsettled  interfund
transfers of participant accounts.  All transactions were settled
as of January 3, 2000.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)

Investment Options

The  Employee  Deferral Contributions Account,  Company  Matching
Contributions  Account,  Stock Bonus  Rollover  Account,  Company
Profit Sharing Contributions Account, 1986 Profit Sharing Account
and  Rollover Account are invested in certain investment  options
offered by the Plan at the direction of the participant. The  BBC
Stock  Fund  represents funds invested in shares  of  BBC  common
stock.

An  affiliate  of  Fidelity Investments (Fidelity)  is  the  Plan
trustee  and  Plan  assets are held in BBC  common  stock  or  in
various  mutual funds. These mutual funds invest in domestic  and
international stocks, debt instruments, investment contracts  and
government securities.  The mix of mutual funds in each of  these
investment  options  is based on guidelines  established  by  the
Plan's Committee.

3. Investments

The  fair  value of individual investments that represent  5%  or
more of the Plan's net assets are as follows:

5. Income Tax Status

The  Plan  has received a determination letter from the  Internal
Revenue  Service dated June 20, 1996, stating that  the  Plan  is
qualified, in form, under Section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue
Code  (the  "Code") and, therefore, the related trust  is  exempt
from  taxation.  Once qualified, the Plan is required to  operate
in  conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification.   The
Plan  Administrator  believes  the  Plan  is  being  operated  in
compliance  with  the applicable requirements of  the  Code,  and
therefore,  believes that the Plan is qualified and  the  related
trust is tax exempt.

6. Agreements and Transactions with Parties-In-Interest

The Plan maintains investments in BBC's common stock held in each
applicable participants' account.

During 1999 and 1998, legal and accounting fees were paid by BBC,
while fund management fees and all other administrative fees were
paid out of Plan assets.
