NOTE 3: INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of
common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each respective
period.  The number of common equivalent shares which became issuable pursuant
to the grant of stock options has been calculated using the treasury stock
method. Fully diluted income per share is substantially the same as reported
income per share.

NOTE 4: INVESTMENT SECURITIES 

At December 31, 1996, all debt securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities
maturing within one year.  Securities designated as held-to- maturity are
carried at amortized cost which approximates market value.  The amortized cost
of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts to maturity.  Such amortization is included in
investment income.  Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to
be other-than-temporary on held-to-maturity securities are included in
investment income.  Securities identified as available-for-sale are carried at
fair market value.  Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on securities in
this category are reportable as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Because of the short term to maturity and relative price insensitivity to
changes in market interest rates, amortized cost approximates fair market value
and no unrealized gains or losses have been recorded at December 31, 1996.  The
cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Interest earned on securities is included in investment income.

All securities are included in short-term investments at December 31, 1996.
There were no gross realized gains or losses for the six months ended December
31, 1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues decreased by 1.4% for the three months ended December 31, 1996
compared to the same period a year ago, and increased by 1.5% for the six
months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same period a year ago.  Net
revenues for the three and six months period ended December 31, 1996 were
essentially flat with the comparable periods a year ago.  The Company believes
this was primarily a result of an inventory accumulation by the Company's
customers during fiscal 1996 which reduced their requirement for Maxim's
products over the last six months.

During the quarter 56% of net revenues were derived from customers outside of
the United States.  While the majority of these sales are denominated in US
dollars, the Company does place foreign currency contracts to mitigate its
risks on its backlog and assets denominated in foreign currencies, and as a
result, the net impact associated with changes in foreign currency on the
Company's operating results for the quarter was minimal.

Gross margin increased to 66.1% and 66.7% in the three and six months ended
December 31, 1996, compared to 65.8% and 63.0% for the three and six months
ended December 31, 1995.  The improvement as compared to the comparable periods
a year ago was principally due to increases in manufacturing productivity.

Research and development expenses were 11.0% and 11.4% of net revenues in the
three and six months ended December 31, 1996, compared to 11.6% and 12.1% in
the three and six months ended December 31, 1995.  The decline reflects the
absence of certain non-recurring expenses recorded in the comparable periods of
1996 offset by slightly higher spending in 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 8.6% and 9.2% of net revenues
in the three and six months ended December 31, 1996, compared to 9.1% and 10.1%
in the three and six months ended December 31, 1995.  This decline was a result
of the Company's cost control measures and savings realized through the
establishment of a direct sales force in the United States during the latter
half of fiscal 1996.

The Company's operating income increased to 46.5% of net revenues in the three
months ended December 31, 1996, compared to 45.1% in the three months ended
December 31, 1995 and increased to 46.1% of net revenues in the six months
ended December 31, 1996, compared to 40.8% for the six months ended December
31, 1995, as a result of all the factors cited above.

Net interest income increased to $1.8 million in the three months and $3.3
million in the six months ended December 31, 1996 compared to $1.1 million and
$2.2 million the same periods a year ago, primarily as a result of higher
invested cash balances and to a lesser extent higher average interest rates.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)


The decrease in the effective tax rate to 34% in the three months and the six
months ended December 31, 1996, was primarily attributable to the restoration
of the Federal research and development tax credit.

OUTLOOK

Gross margins for the second quarter were 66.1% compared to 65.8% in Q296 and
67.3% in Q197.  The decrease in gross margins from Q197 reflects the Company's
strategy to selectively trade gross margin for incremental sales growth.  The
Company anticipates that to the extent revenue growth resumes, gross margin
will trend lower over time as the Company continues to take advantage of
business opportunities to increase total profitability.

Backlog shippable in the next 12 months remained flat at Q197 levels of $103
million.  Orders requested for delivery in the next three months increased to
77% of the backlog at December 31, 1996, compared to 72% at the end of Q197 and
59% at the end of Q496.

Turns orders received in Q297 increased significantly over those received in 
Q197.  (Turns orders are customer orders that are for delivery within the
same quarter and may result in revenue within the quarter if the company has
inventory available that matches those orders.)  The Company believes that the
higher level of turns orders experienced in Q1 and Q2 of fiscal 1997 reflects
the relatively short lead times (8-10 weeks) for integrated circuits and
customers' belief that shortages will not reappear in the near future.  The
Company now believes that Q496 represented an inflection point in the inventory
correction that began in the second half of FY96.

Booking levels in the United States, Europe and Japan were higher in Q297 than
the previous two quarters and the Pacific Rim continued to show strong
sequential quarter-over-quarter growth.  Customer cancellations were $17
million in Q297 and, while still higher than normal, were lower than the
previous six quarters.  Booking levels, when analyzed by product line, were
higher than the previous two quarters in all product lines except the Company's
high-frequency business unit, where bookings have been flat for the past two
quarters.  Growth in the high-frequency product lines has been hampered by an
inventory-based slowdown in the wireless and fiber optic markets and a
demand-based slowdown in the automatic test equipment market.  Maxim's ability
to achieve satisfactory yields and production levels on its state-of-the-art
high-speed bipolar processes also has affected Q297 shipments.  The Company
believes it has made significant progress on improving the manufacturability of
these processes, which should result in increased high-frequency shipments in
Q397.

While the Company is encouraged by the higher business levels experienced in
Q297, continued revenue growth in Q3 and Q4 of fiscal 1997 is dependent upon
booking rates increasing over the Q297 levels and continued high levels of
turns orders that match available supply.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont'd)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds for the first six months of fiscal year
1997 have been the net cash generated from operating activities of $73,823,000
and the issuance of common stock of $16,586,000 associated with the Company's
stock option programs. The principal uses of funds have been the repurchase of
$17,088,000 of common stock, net purchases of $73,933,000 in short-term
investments, and the purchase of $23,539,000 in property, plant and equipment.

The Company anticipates that it will spend up to $40 million for capital
equipment in fiscal 1997 and believes that it possesses sufficient liquidity
and capital resources to fund these purchases and its operations for the
foreseeable future.
