                             (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

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.

     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 5% in the second quarter of 1996 to $64.1 million, up 
$3.0 million over the second quarter of 1995. Increased demand for power 
MOSFET products accounted for much of this growth.  Sales of power MOSFETs 
grew by 10%, fueled by products used in the telecommunication and computing 
markets, increasing to 63% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1996, 
compared with 60% in the second quarter of 1995.  Sales in Japan were up 89% 
from the second quarter of 1995. This accounted for 20% of total revenues in 
the second quarter of 1996, compared with 11% of total revenues in the second 
quarter of 1995. For the first six months of 1996, revenues were up 3%, 49%, 
and 10% in North America, Asia Pacific and Europe respectively, compared to 
the first six months of 1995.

     Gross profit for the second quarter of 1996 remained consistent at 41% 
of revenues against the first quarter of 1996. Gross profit as a percentage 
of revenues for the second quarter of 1996 increased 4% compared to the 
second quarter of 1995.  This increase reflects economies of scale in 
manufacturing operations and improved yields. Gross profit for the first six 
months of 1996 increased 30% compared to the first six months of 1995 
principally due to higher revenues and improved margins. The Company is 
beginning to experience much more pricing pressure in 1996 compared to the 
previous year.  Management expects to see pressure on margins continue for 
the remainder of the year. 

     Research and development for the first six months of 1996 remained 
consistent at 8% of revenues against the first six months of 1995. 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, for the first six months of 1996 remained consistent at 21% 
compared to the first six months of 1995. During this difficult market 
environment, the Company remains committed to maintaining our cost reduction 
programs.

     Interest expense remained flat at $1.2 million in the first six months 
of 1996 compared with the first six months of 1995, as short-term market 
interest rates have not fluctuated significantly over the past year. 

     Other income, comprised mainly of interest income, decreased slightly to 
$.2 million for the first six months of 1996 compared with $.3 million for 
the first six months of 1995, due mainly to lower interest income as cash 
balances have decreased during the first half of 1996.

     Income tax expense decreased in the second quarter of 1996 to $.8 
million, down $.1 million over the second quarter of 1995. However, tax 
expense for the first six months of 1996 as compared to the first six 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 $300,000 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 earnings
and continued increases in gross profits for the past three years.

     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 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations section of the Company's 1995 annual report on Form 10-K, which is 
incorporated herein by reference.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash flows from operations were $11.7 million for the six-month period 
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $12.0 million in the comparable period of 
1995. Cash and equivalents decreased by $8.0 million and the short term 
investment with affiliate decreased by $9.3 million from December 31, 1995 
due to large expenditures in the first half of 1996. 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 planned investments in capital expenditures and research
and development.

     Accounts receivable decreased $6.1 million or 15 % from December 31, 
1995. This decrease is largely attributable to lower revenues in the second 
quarter of 1996, $64.1 million compared with $71.8 million for the fourth 
quarter of 1995. 

     Inventories increased $5.2 million or 19% from December 31, 1995 due 
mainly to additional manufacturing capacity added to achieve 1996 planned 
revenue. Inventory levels at December 31, 1995 were low due to certain 
capacity constraints during fiscal 1995 and high sales volume in the fourth 
quarter of 1995.

     Capital expenditures were $25.2 million in the first six months of 1996, 
compared to $10.3 million in the first six 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.
