                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and

principles for complete financial statements.

     In the opinion of the management of the Company, the consolidated 
financial statements appearing herein contain all adjustments (consisting 
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the

NOTE 3.  CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is party to two environmental proceedings.  The first 
involves property that the Company vacated in 1972. The California Regional 
Water Quality Board issued a cleanup and abatement order to both the Company 
and the current owner of the property.  The Company subsequently reached a 
settlement of this matter with the current owner in which the current owner 
indemnifies the Company against any liability that may arise out of any 
governmental agency actions brought for environmental cleanup of the site, 
including liability arising out of the current cleanup and abatement order.  
The second proceeding involves the Company's current facility in Santa Clara. 
The Company is currently engaged in certain remedial action and has accrued 
$400,000 for the estimated future costs related to this matter at December 
31, 1995.


     In management's opinion, based on discussion with legal counsel and 
other considerations, the ultimate resolution of the above-mentioned matters 
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated 
financial position or results of operations. 

     The Company is engaged in discussions with various parties regarding 
patent licensing and cross patent licensing issues. In the opinion of 
management, the outcome of these discussions will not have a material adverse 
effect on the financial position or overall trends in the results of 
operations of the Company.

ITEM 2. 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Siliconix designs, markets, and manufactures power and analog 
semiconductor products. The Company focuses on technologies and products for 
the computer, data storage, communications, and automotive markets.

     Revenues increased 36% in the first quarter of 1996 to $70.1 million, up 
$18.7 million over the first quarter of 1995. Increased demand for power 
MOSFET products accounted for much of this growth.    Sales of power MOSFET's 
grew by 5%,  fueled by products used in the telecommunication and computing 
markets, increasing to 60% of total revenues in the first quarter of 1996, 
compared with 55% in the first quarter of 1995.  Sales in Japan and Europe 
were up 250% and 28%, respectively,  from the first quarter of 1995. These 
accounted for 21% and 28%, respectively,  of total revenues in the first 
quarter of 1996, compared with  8% and 29%, respectively,  of total revenues 
in the first quarter of 1995. 

     Gross profit for the first quarter of 1996 increased to 41% from 38% in 
the first quarter of 1995. This increase reflects economies of scale in 
manufacturing operations, improved yields, and the strong pricing environment 
in the last half of 1995. The Company is beginning to experience much more 
pricing pressure in 1996 compared to the previous year.  Management expects 
to see pressure on margins develop as the year progresses.

     Research and development expenditures increased 43% in the first quarter 
of 1996 to $6.2 million, up $1.9 million over the first quarter of 1995. 
Research and development as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of 
1996 remained flat at about 9% of revenues.  The Company remains committed to 
the development of future products and continues to invest in power MOSFET 
and power IC technology and product development.

     Selling, marketing, and administrative expenses as a percentage of 
revenues decreased from 22% in the first quarter of 1995 to 21% in the first 
quarter of 1996. This decrease as a percentage of revenues is due to revenues 
increasing at a faster rate compared to selling, marketing, and 
administrative expenses, in turn due to economies of scale and cost controls.

     Interest expense remained flat at $.6 million in the first three months 
of 1996, as short-term market interest rates have remained relatively flat 
over the past year. 

     Other income, comprised mainly of interest income, remained flat at $.2 
million  for the first quarter of 1996.

     Income tax expense increased in the first quarter of 1996 to $.8 
million, up $.3 million over the first quarter of 1995. Tax expense for the 
first three months of 1996 as compared to the first three months of 1995 
increased as a result of the reduction in net operating loss carryforwards 
available in 1996 and the increase in earnings before taxes.

     During its quarterly assessment of deferred income taxes, management 
reduced the valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets to realize an 
additional $200,000 net deferred income tax asset. This decision to recognize 
additional net deferred income tax assets was based on management's belief 
that, it is more likely than not, the Company will realize benefit from a 
portion of its deferred income taxes. The primary positive factors assessed 
by management in reaching its conclusion about the Company's ability to 
realize the additional deferred income tax assets include: positive net 
earnings and continued increases in gross profits for the past three years 
and a 36% growth in sales in the first three months of 1996.

     The expectations for the future are that, even with the extremely 
volatile environment in which the Company competes, operating income of the 
Company will more than likely be sufficient to realize a portion of the 
deferred income tax asset; however, due to certain factors beyond 
management's control there can be no assurance that sufficient taxable income 
will be generated in each of the Company's taxing jurisdictions to realize 
recorded tax benefits. In addition, there is no assurance that the Company 
will generate any earnings or any specific level of continuing earnings in 
future years. 

     The primary negative factors assessed by management in reaching its 
conclusion about the Company's ability to realize the net deferred income tax 
asset are discussed in the section titled "Certain Factors" in the Company's 
1995 annual report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 
     Cash flows from operations were $1.2 million for the three-month period 
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $1.3 million in the comparable period of 
1995. Cash and equivalents decreased by $2.5 million and the short term 
investment with affiliate decreased by $9.6 million from December 31, 1995 
due to large expenditures in the first quarter. These included capital 
expenditures, royalties and commissions as well as  yearly management and 
employment bonuses and annual 401(k) company match, and profit sharing 
contributions.  Management expects 1996 cash flows from operations to be 
sufficient to fund investments in capital expenditures and research and 
development.

     Accounts receivable increased $2.3 million or 6% from December 31, 1995. 
This increase is largely attributable to continuing strong sales in Europe 
during the first three months and due to the longer payment terms typically 
afforded European customers.

     Capital expenditures were $9.4 million in the first three months of 
1996, compared to $3.8 million in the first three months of 1995. These 
related mostly to additions for plant capacity expansion. 1996 capital 
expenditures are expected to exceed the 1995 annual level of $28.2 million.

     Current liabilities decreased $2.7 million or 3% from December 31, 1995. 
This decrease is mainly due to the payment of certain liabilities which are paid
only once a year, including annual management and employee bonuses, the 401(k) 
Company match, and profit sharing contributions.
