3.   DEBT
---------
On February 24, 2000,  the Company completed a private placement
pursuant to SEC Rule 144 of $250,000 of 4 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due February 15, 2007 with semiannual interest
payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year commencing
August 15, 2000.  The Notes are convertible, at the option of the
holder, into the Company's common stock at any time after the
original purchase date, at a conversion price of $57.78 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain events.  The Company has
registered the Notes and the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes held by requesting securityholders.  The
net proceeds of the offering were approximately $243,000 after
payment of placement discounts and expenses of the offering,
which will be amortized over the term of the Notes. The proceeds
have been invested primarily in interest bearing mutual funds and
reported as cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-
term investments on our balance sheet.

</TABLE>

6. TAX RATE
------------

The  Company's  effective tax rate for 2000 is  estimated  to  be
approximately  29%.  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.

7. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA
------------------------

The Company has three reportable segments: North American
(principally the United States), Far Eastern (principally Japan,
but including Singapore beginning in 1998), and European
(principally the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy).
Revenue is derived in each of these segments from the sale of the
full array of the Company's product lines, although the Far
Eastern segment has a higher concentration of sales from certain
mixed signal products.

Segment  information for the three and six months ended  July  1,
2000 and July 3, 1999 is as follows:

8. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
----------------------------------------------------

Due to the Company's significant international sales, both to
unaffiliated customers and to its foreign subsidiaries, the
Company is exposed to the effect of foreign exchange rate
fluctuations on the future U.S. dollar value of its revenue,
operating expense transactions, as well as the U.S. dollar value
of its accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. For
currencies other than the Japanese Yen, the Company mainly uses
the natural hedges resulting from intercompany payables and
expenses incurred in local currencies to dampen the effect of
foreign currency fluctuations. Due to the significance of Japan to
its consolidated operations, the Company uses foreign currency
forward and purchased options contracts to hedge forecasted Yen
denominated sales transactions and specific Yen dominated cost
transactions and uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge
Yen denominated accounts receivable.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as of October 4, 1998, the
first day of its fourth fiscal quarter in 1998.   At July 1,
2000, the Company's foreign currency contracts designated as cash
flow hedges consisted of purchased options and forward contracts.
These contracts had a notional value of $9,545 and hedged
anticipated Japanese Yen denominated sales transactions.  The
Company assesses the effectiveness of its foreign currency
purchased option and forward contracts using the spot rate and
views the option premium as the inherently ineffective portion of
its purchased option contracts.  The ineffectiveness resulting
from such contracts is reflected in other (income) expense, and
was immaterial in the three and six months ended July 1, 2000.
The loss recorded as other comprehensive income on cash flow
hedges amounted to $106 net of the deferred tax effect of $65.
Such amounts will be reflected in the Company's income statements
between July 2000 and September 2000 as the forecasted
transactions occur.  No fair value hedges matured during the
second quarter and no contracts were designated as fair value
hedges at July 1, 2000. Gains on cash flow hedges were immaterial
to the three and six months ended July 1, 2000.

The following table presents the gross notional amounts of these
foreign currency contracts and their fair value (based on prices
or forward rates quoted by dealers) as of July 1, 2000:

9. PROPOSED MERGER
------------------

On June 21, 2000, The Company announced that it had entered into
a definitive agreement and plan of merger to be acquired by Texas
Instruments Incorporated ("TI").  Under the terms of the
transaction, Burr-Brown will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
TI and each share of Burr-Brown common stock outstanding will be
exchanged for 1.3 shares of TI common stock.  Similar adjustments
will be made to the shares of Burr-Brown stock issuable under
options and convertible notes.  The transaction was valued at
approximately $7.6 billion based upon TI's stock price at the
time of announcement.  The transaction is intended to qualify as
a pooling of interests for accounting purposes and as a tax-free
exchange of shares under IRS regulations. The transaction has
been approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is
subject to approval by Burr-Brown's stockholders.  The joint
proxy statement/prospectus of Burr-Brown and TI has been declared
effective by the SEC, and proxy materials were mailed to
stockholders on or about July 25, 2000.  In addition, the U.S.
Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting
period for antitrust review of the proposed merger under the Hart-
Scott-Rodino Act and the German Federal Cartel Office has
rendered a decision clearing the proposed transaction under the
Act against Restraints of Competition of 1958 (as amended).  Burr-
Brown will hold a special meeting of its stockholders on August
24, 2000 for stockholders of record on July 19, 2000 to vote on
the merger.  If stockholder approval is obtained, the merger is
expected to close shortly thereafter.

                BURR-BROWN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

REVENUE.   Second  quarter 2000 revenue was $103.5  million,  the
highest  quarterly  revenue  in our history,  compared  to  $68.2
million  in the second quarter of 1999. This represents  a  51.8%
increase in revenue over the second quarter of 1999 and  a  14.3%
increase  in  revenue over the preceding first quarter  of  2000.
This  marked  the  fourth consecutive quarter  that  the  Company
achieved  record revenue. Revenue for all product lines increased
relative  to  the  second quarter of 1999. Strongest  growth  was
achieved  in  our  newer  Communications,  Audio  and  Video  and
Computer markets.  Revenue from Communications increased 73% from
the  same period a year ago and 53.3% sequentially. Revenue  from
the Computing market increased 167.3% from the same period a year
ago  and  34.7%  sequentially. Revenue for the  Audio  and  Video
market  increased  48.2% from the same period  a  year  ago.  The
Company has experienced broad-based demand across all its  served
markets and geographic regions.

GROSS  MARGIN.  Gross margin improved 200 basis points to 57.0%  in
the  second  quarter of 2000 from 55.0% in the first  quarter  of
2000.    Gross margin  was 52.1% of revenue in the second quarter
of  1999.  This improvement was driven by the increase in revenue
discussed   above  combined  with  higher  factory   utilization,
manufacturing cost improvements and a higher margin  product  mix
driven by our targeted market applications. This marks the  sixth
consecutive quarter in which the Company has set a new record for
gross  margin as a percent of sales.  It is the Company's  intent
to  increase  its  penetration  of  high  volume,  fast  growing,
emerging  applications.  It  is  the  Company's  goal  that  this
strategy,  if successfully executed, will increase unit  volumes,
decrease aggregate average selling price and expand gross margins
due to increased operating leverage.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and Development (R&D) expenses
of  14.3% of revenue in the second quarter of 2000 were lower  in
percentage  terms and higher in absolute dollars by $4.4  million
than  the  second  quarter  of 1999.   The  lower  percentage  is
primarily due to the increased revenues.  The Company's  strategy
is  to continue to maintain a substantial level of R&D investment
as the primary driver of revenue growth while constraining growth
in  Sales,  Marketing, General & Administrative (SMG&A) expenses.
Increases in R&D spending were the result of technical hiring and
an increase in new product output.

SALES,  MARKETING,  GENERAL  &  ADMINISTRATIVE.   SMG&A  expenses
continue  to decline as a percentage of revenue.   SMG&A expenses
declined to 13.1% of revenue for the second quarter of 2000  from
14.2% during the first quarter and 17.1% in the second quarter of
1999.   The sequential increases in SMG&A in absolute dollars  is
due   to  higher  sales  related  costs  and  increased  variable
compensation expense.

OPERATING INCOME.  Second quarter operating income was  a  record
$30.6 million, or 29.6% of revenue, an increase of 28.3% over the
previous  quarter  and 127.5% higher than the second  quarter  of
1999.   This increase was due to higher revenues, improved  gross
margin and modest increases in operating expenses.

OTHER  INCOME.   Other  income was $2.2 million  for  the  second
quarter of 2000, an increase of 237.8% over the second quarter of
1999.   This was due primarily to an increase in interest  income
from  higher  levels of invested cash and equivalents.  Cash  and
equivalents  increased as a result of cash  flow  generated  from
operations   and  net  interest  earned  on  the  proceeds   from
convertible  notes that were issued during the first  quarter  of
2000.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The Company's effective tax rate for
2000   is  expected  to  be  approximately  29%.   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.  The  effective  tax  rate
increased 2 percentage points over 1999 due to the expectation of
higher  earnings  in Japan and reduced foreign sales  corporation
benefits.

NET  INCOME.   Net income for the second quarter of  2000  was  a
record  $23.3  million or 22.5% of revenue.  This  represents  an
increase of 26% sequentially on a 14.3% increase in revenue  from
the first quarter and 126.2% on a 51.8% increase in revenue above
the  same  quarter a year ago.  This marked the fifth consecutive
quarter of record net income and the second time in the Company's
history that its net income exceeded 20% of revenue. The increase
in  net income was a result of increased revenue, a higher margin
product   mix   resulting  in  record  gross  margins,   improved
manufacturing efficiencies and continued SMG&A cost  containment.
The diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $.38 compared
to  $.18 for the second quarter of 1999 and $.31 in the preceding
quarter.

On June 21, 2000 Burr-Brown and Texas Instruments Incorporated
entered into a merger agreement by which Burr-Brown will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Texas Instruments and each share of
Burr-Brown stock will be exchanged for 1.3 shares of Texas
Instruments stock. The merger is expected to close in the third
quarter of this year.   Through the end of the second quarter,
Burr-Brown had incurred approximately $0.9 million of acquisition
related costs. These costs primarily consisted of fees for
external auditors, legal counsel, and financial advisors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

  Our cash, cash equivalents and investments increased by $285.3
million to $448.7 million as of July 1, 2000 from $163.3 million
at December 31, 1999.

  During the second quarter, Burr-Brown invested $10 million for
an approximately 19.9% ownership in BethelTronix, a California
company that develops and markets highly integrated radio
frequency integrated circuits for use in GSM, GPS and consumer
wireless products.

  Accounts receivable were $74.7 million at July 1, 2000, an
increase of $8.6 million from $66.1 million at December 31, 1999.
This increase was a result of the higher levels of revenue.  Days
sales outstanding decreased by 5 days to 66 days at July 1, 2000
from 71 days at December 31, 1999. This improvement was due to
increased shipment linearity and enhanced collection efforts.

  Inventories increased by $5.2 million, or 10.4%, to $55.0
million at July 1, 2000 from $49.8 million at December 31, 1999.
This increase is due primarily to steps performed by the Company
to insure a source of supply in this very strong demand
environment.  The increase is almost exclusively in products
procured from external wafer foundries in anticipation of higher
revenue in the remaining quarters of the year.  Inventory turns
in the second quarter of 2000 were approximately 3.2, up from 2.5
in the same period in 1999.


<PAGE> 10



  Net deferred tax assets were up $1.9 million to $7.0 million at
July 1, 2000, compared to $5.1 million at December 31, 1999.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $12.6 million,
or 40.6%, to $43.7 million at July 1, 2000 as compared to $31.1
million at December 31, 1999, due primarily to a higher level of
manufacturing activity. Deferred income was at $13.8 million, up
$3.6 million from December 31, 1999. This was primarily a result
of the Company's distributors carrying a higher level of
inventory as a result of revenue increases.

  Capital expenditures have totaled $9.8 million through July 1,
2000.  Significant portions of the capital expenditures were for
test capacity expansion given recent unit volume increases.  We
expect to make approximately $40-45 million of additional capital
expenditures during the remainder of 2000.

  At July 1, 2000, total debt was $269.8 million, of which $252.6
million was term debt. This represents a $249.7 million increase
in total debt over 1999. Term debt of $252.6 million is 93.6% of
total debt. On February 24, 2000, the Company issued $250 million
of 4 1/4% convertible notes with a seven-year term, representing
92.7% of total debt.  Term debt issued in connection with our
foreign operations at July 1, 2000 was $2.6 million and is 1.0%
of total debt, and represents interest rate arbitrage in Japan.
In addition credit facilities of approximately $42.8 million,
including overdraft credit facilities with both domestic and
international banks, were available to us at July 1, 2000, of
which approximately $17.2 million, or 40.2%, was utilized,
representing 6.4% of total debt.

  Our current ratio improved to 7.73 at July 1, 2000, from 4.34
at December 31, 1999. Current ratio improvement was primarily due
to increases in cash and investments resulting from the
convertible note issuance and free cash flow generated from
operations. Our debt-to-equity ratio increased in the second
quarter of 2000 to .70 from .06 at December 31, 1999 as a result
of the convertible note issuance.

  We believe that our existing liquid resources, expected cash
generated from operations and existing credit facilities will be
adequate to meet our operating and capital requirements and
obligations for at least the next 12 months, while also providing
the necessary funds to pursue strategic purposes such as capacity
expansions.

  Actual results may differ materially from projected results as
a result of certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and
uncertainties include, without limitation, those described in
Exhibit 99, "Risk Factors," to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, as well as those set
forth below and those detailed from time to time in our filings
with the SEC or other public announcements:


<PAGE>  11


*  fluctuations in manufacturing, assembly and test yields;

*  the availability and pricing of wafer supplies;

*  availability and utilization of manufacturing capacity;

*  retention and recruitment of key management and technical
   personnel;

*  successful development and timely introduction of new
   products;

*  demand for and market acceptance of new and existing
   products;

*  product obsolescence;

*  global and market conditions, including, without limitation,
   the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and the
   markets related to our and our customers' products;

*  pricing pressures and other competitive factors;

*  changes in product mix;

*  our ability to develop and implement new technologies and to
   obtain protection of the related intellectual property;

*  our labor relations and those of our customers and suppliers;

*  our successful integration of potential acquisitions;

*  risks related to our international business operations; and

*  other risks and uncertainties.

We also face risks relating to the proposed TI merger.

     On June 21, 2000, we executed a merger agreement with TI.
Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of Burr-
Brown common stock will be exchanged for 1.3 shares of TI common
stock.  The announcement of the proposed merger may have a
negative impact on our ability to attract and retain employees
and customers and maintain relationships with third parties.  For
example, our employees may experience uncertainty about their
future role with TI.

     If the merger is successfully completed, holders of Burr-
Brown common stock will become holders of TI's common stock.
TI's business differs somewhat from our business, and TI's
results of operations as well as the price of TI's common stock
may be affected by factors different than those affecting our
results of operations and the price of our common stock before
the merger.  For further information on TI's business and certain
factors to consider in connection with the proposed merger and
TI's business, please see TI's Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-
K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 and TI's Form S-4
and S-4/A filed on July 7 and July 20, respectively - all of
which may be accessed through the SEC's EDGAR filings on their
website at www.sec.gov.

     If the merger is completed, our stockholders will receive a
fixed number of shares of TI common stock despite changes in the
market value of our common stock or TI's common stock.  The 1:1.3
ratio of our common stock to TI common stock is a fixed number
and will not be adjusted in the event of any increase or decrease
in the price of TI common stock or our common stock, except with
respect to stock dividends, splits, and similar events, as
specifically set forth in the merger agreement.  The prices of TI
common stock and our common stock have varied, and may continue
to vary until the closing of the proposed merger, from their
respective prices on the date the merger agreement was signed and
publicly announced.  These prices may vary because of the changes
in the business, operations or prospects of TI or Burr-Brown,
market assessments of the merger, the prospects of post-merger
operations, general market and economic conditions as well as
other factors.

     Our failure to complete the proposed merger with TI could
adversely affect our stock price and future business and
operations.

     The merger is subject to approval by our stockholders and we
cannot assure you that the merger will be successfully completed.
In the event that the merger is not successfully completed, Burr-
Brown may be subject to a number of material risks, including the
following:



<PAGE>  12



*    Burr-Brown may be required to pay TI a termination fee in
     certain circumstances detailed in the merger agreement;

*    the price of Burr-Brown's common stock may decline to the
     extent that the current market price for our common stock
     reflects a market assumption that the proposed merger will be
     completed; and

*    our costs related to the proposed merger, such as legal,
     accounting, and financial advisory fees must be paid by us, even
     if the merger is not completed.

In addition, in the event that the merger is not completed and
our board of directors determines to seek another merger or
business combination, it may not be able to find a partner
willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than that
which would have been paid in the merger with TI.

     If the merger is completed, achieving the anticipated
benefits of the proposed acquisition of our company by TI is
dependent in part upon successful integration of the two
companies' products and technologies, research and development
activities, sales and marketing, and administrative
organizations.  This may not occur.  Also, the integration
process may divert management attention from day-to-day business.
Failure to successfully accomplish integration could materially
harm the business, financial condition or results of operations
of the combined company.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK
--------------------------------------------------------------

MARKET RISKS: The Company is exposed to certain financial market
risks, principally changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates.

INTEREST RATE RISKS: The Company's interest rate risk primarily
relates to its investments and debt held at July 1, 2000.  The
Company's cash equivalents and short-term investments had a fair
value of $428.2 million with a weighted yield of 5.81% and long-
term investments of $12.1 million with a weighted yield of 6.45%
at July 1, 2000.  It is the objective of the Company to concentrate
investments in tax advantaged securities to maximize after tax
return.

The Company's debt at July 1, 2000 was $269.8 million, of which
92.7% relates to a fixed rate debt obligation.  An increase in
interest rates would not significantly increase interest expense
due to the fixed nature of this obligation.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISKS: International markets account for a
majority of the Company's revenue. The resulting transactions
have exchange rate fluctuation risk associated with them. The
Company acts to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange
rate transactions through natural hedges afforded by its
significant foreign operations and through the use of financial
hedges in the form of forward contracts and option contracts.
These contracts have historically been in three currencies,
Japanese Yen, British Pounds and German Marks, although such
contracts have been exclusively in Japanese Yen in 1998 and 1999
and  thus far in 2000. The following summarizes the foreign
currency forward and option contracts, which settle between July
2000 and September 2000, in effect at July 1, 2000:

                         Notional       Weighted
                         Amount         Ave. Rate     Fair Value
                         ---------------------------------------

Japanese Yen Forward
 Contracts               $  6,766,614   105.22       $ ( 18,008)
Japanese Yen Option
 Contracts                  2,778,035   107.99              --
----------------------------------------------------------------
     Total               $  9,544,649                $ ( 18,008)
