Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form
S-8 to be filed by DSP Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 100,000 additional shares of the
Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"),
reserved for issuance under the Company's 1993 Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan").
As counsel to the Company, we have examined the proceedings taken by
the Company in connection with the reservation of the 100,000 additional shares
of the Common Stock to be issued under the Plan.
It is our opinion that the 100,000 shares of Common Stock which may be
issued and sold by the Company, when issued and sold in the manner referred to
in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
Very truly yours,
