YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. INTEGRATED DEVICE TECHNOLOGY, INC. 2975 Stender Way Santa Clara, California 95054 (408) 727-6116 -------------------- 1998 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS PROXY STATEMENT -------------------- July 10, 1998 The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Integrated Device Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Thursday, August 27, 1998 at 9:30 a.m., local time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held at 2670 Seely Road, San Jose, California 95134. Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on July 1, 1998 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, the Company had 82,117,942 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. A majority of such shares, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about July 10, 1998. An annual report for the fiscal year ended March 29, 1998 is enclosed with this Proxy Statement. VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the above record date, except that in the election of directors, each stockholder has cumulative voting rights and is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares held by such stockholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. The stockholder may cast these votes all for a single candidate or distribute the votes among any or all of the candidates. No stockholder will be entitled to cumulate votes for a candidate, however, unless that candidate's name has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the stockholder, or any other stockholder, has given notice at the Annual Meeting, prior to the voting, of an intention to cumulate votes. In such an event, the proxy holder may allocate among the Board of Directors' nominees the votes represented by proxies in the proxy holder's sole discretion. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Proposal Nos. 2 and 3 each require for approval the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposals. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting who will separately tabulate, for each proposal, affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions will be counted towards a quorum and the tabulation of votes cast on proposals presented to the stockholders and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes will be counted towards a quorum but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether a matter has been approved. The expenses of soliciting proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting will be paid by the Company. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, the Company and/or its agents may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, telegraph or in person. The Company has retained a proxy solicitation firm, Skinner & Co., Inc. to aid it in the solicitation process. The Company will pay that firm a fee equal to $5,000, plus expenses. Following the original mailing of the proxies and other soliciting materials, the Company will request that brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders of the Company's Common Stock forward copies of the proxy and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of Common Stock and request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, the Company, upon request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES Any person signing a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has the power to revoke it prior to the Annual Meeting or at the Annual Meeting prior to the vote pursuant to the proxy. A proxy may be revoked by (i) a writing delivered to the Company stating that the proxy is revoked, (ii) by a subsequent proxy that is signed by the person who signed the earlier proxy and is presented at the Annual Meeting or (iii) by attendance at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Please note, however, that if a stockholder's shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and that stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder must bring to the Annual Meeting a letter from the broker, bank or other nominee confirming that stockholder's beneficial ownership of the shares. PROPOSAL NO. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors consists of five members, divided into three classes. Two Class II directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified. The remaining three directors will continue to serve for the terms as set forth in the table below. Federico Faggin and John C. Bolger have been nominated by the Board of Directors to serve as the Class II directors. Shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted for the election of the nominees recommended by the Board of Directors unless the proxy is marked in such a manner as to withhold authority so to vote. In the event that a nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall be designated by the present Board of Directors to fill the vacancy, or the Board of Directors may reduce the authorized number of directors in accordance with the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and its Bylaws. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the nominees will be unable to serve. Directors/Nominees The names of the nominees and the other directors of the Company, and certain information about them, as of July 1, 1998 are set forth below:

Board Meetings and Committees The Board of Directors of the Company held a total of seven (7) meetings during the fiscal year ended March 29, 1998. The Board of Directors also has a Compensation and Stock Option Committee and an Audit Committee, but does not have a Nominating Committee or any committee performing this function. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee, composed of two disinterested nonemployee directors, Messrs. Bolger and Faggin, determines the salaries and incentive compensation for executive officers, including the chief executive officer and key personnel, and administers the Company's stock option plans, including determining the number of shares underlying options to be granted to each employee and the terms of such options. Mr. Bolger is chair of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee.

Mr. Bolger is the Chair of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held two (2) meeting during fiscal 1998. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all committees on which such director served during fiscal 1998. Director Compensation Members of the Board of Directors who are not also officers or employees of the Company are paid an annual retainer in the amount of $10,000 per fiscal year, $2,500 per quarterly board meeting attended (except telephone meetings), $1,000 per additional board meeting attended (except telephone meetings) and $500 per committee meeting attended if not conducted on the same day as a Board meeting. The Company's 1994 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Directors Plan"), covering 108,000 shares of Common Stock, was adopted by the Board of Directors in May 1994 and was approved by the stockholders in August 1994. The Directors Plan serves as the successor plan to the Company's 1989 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan (the "1989 Director Plan"). All members of the Board of Directors who are not also employees of the Company or of a parent or subsidiary of the Company ("Nonemployee Directors") are eligible to receive options under the Directors Plan. 3 The Directors Plan provides for the mandatory grant of options on an annual basis to the Company's Nonemployee Directors. The purchase price of the stock covered by all options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The fair market value on the date of grant is defined as the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq National Market on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the fair market value is determined. Pursuant to the terms of the Directors Plan, each Nonemployee Director is granted an option to purchase 16,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date of such Nonemployee Director's first election or appointment to the Board. In addition, the Nonemployee Director who chairs the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is granted an option to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date of such Nonemployee Director's first election or appointment as Chair of the Audit Committee. These options have a term of ten years and become exercisable in cumulative increments of 25% per year, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Annually thereafter, each Nonemployee Director is granted an option to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and an additional 1,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock if the optionee is also Chair of the Audit Committee. The annual grant is made on the anniversary date of the optionee's receipt of the initial option granted under the Directors Plan. Such options become exercisable in full on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. As of March 29, 1998, options to purchase 511,024 shares were outstanding to four Nonemployee Directors under the 1989 Director Plan, the Directors Plan and the 1994 Stock Option Plan, at an average exercise price of $4.6841 per share expiring in 1998 through 2008, and 17,000 shares remain available for future grant under the Directors Plan. During fiscal 1998, (i) Mr. Berg purchased 8,000 shares upon exercise of options granted under the predecessor 1989 Director Stock Option Plan for net value realized of $62,000; (ii) Mr. Bolger purchased 24,000 shares upon exercise of options granted under the predecessor 1989 Director Stock Option Plan for net value received of $205,500; and Mr. Faggin purchased 24,000 shares upon exercise of options granted under the predecessor 1989 Director Stock Option Plan for net value received of $258,000. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINATED DIRECTORS 4 PROPOSAL NO. 2 - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE 1984 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the Company's 1984 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder from 5,050,000 shares to 7,000,000 shares (an increase of 1,950,000 shares). The Board of Directors of the Company approved the proposed amendment described above on April 21, 1998 to be effective upon stockholder approval. Below is a summary of the principal provisions of the Purchase Plan assuming approval of the above amendment, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Plan. The Company will provide, without charge, to each person to whom a Proxy Statement is delivered, upon request of such person and by first class mail within one business day of receipt of such request, a copy of the Purchase Plan. Any such request should be directed as follows: Stock Administrator, Integrated Device Technology, Inc., 2975 Stender Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054; telephone number (408) 727-6116; facsimile number (408) 654-6742. 1984 Purchase Plan History In May 1984, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Purchase Plan, and on July 31, 1984, it was approved by the stockholders of the Company. 600,000 shares of Common Stock were originally reserved for issuance under the Purchase Plan. In June 1993, the Board of Directors amended and restated the Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder by 1,000,000 shares to 4,050,000 shares and to extend the termination date of the Purchase Plan to the last day of the Company's 2008-2009 fiscal year, and on August 25, 1993 the stockholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement to the Purchase Plan. In April 1997, the Board of Directors amended and restated the Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder by 1,000,000 shares to 5,050,000 shares, and on August 28, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved the increase. A maximum of 2,099,061 shares were available for issuance as of the Record Date pursuant to the Purchase Plan (assuming approval of the proposed amendment). Description of the Purchase Plan General. The Purchase Plan, which is intended to qualify under the provisions of section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), provides for the grant to employees of rights to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. Administration. The Purchase Plan is administered by a plan administrator appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Plan Administrator"). The Plan Administrator has final authority for interpretation of any provisions of the Purchase Plan or of any right to purchase stock granted under the Purchase Plan. All costs and expenses associated with the administration of the Purchase Plan are borne by the Company. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides certain indemnification provisions. Eligibility. Employees of the Company (including officers) become eligible for participating in the Purchase Plan after having completed three months of continuous employment that customarily entails more than twenty hours a week and more than five months per calendar year. However, no employee is eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan if, immediately after the election to participate, such employee would own stock of the Company (including stock such employee may purchase under outstanding options) representing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company. In addition, no employee is permitted to participate if under the Purchase Plan and all similar purchase plans of the Company or its subsidiaries, such rights would accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined at the time the right is granted) for each calendar year. Participation. The Purchase Plan is implemented by one or more periods of not more than twenty-seven months each ("Participation Periods"). The Board of Directors determines the duration of Participation Periods and commencement dates. The duration of each Participation Period is generally each of the Company's fiscal quarters, and each Participation Period generally commences on the first day of each quarter. Eligible employees become participants in the Purchase Plan by executing a participation agreement and filing it with the Plan Administrator no later than the deadline stated on the participation agreement, and if none is stated, then no later than the first day of the Participation Period. By enrolling in the Purchase Plan, a participant is deemed to have elected to purchase the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock that can be purchased with the compensation withheld during 5 the Participation Period. With respect to any Participation Period, no participant is eligible to purchase more than 2,500 shares of stock (adjusted for Participation Periods longer than a fiscal quarter and for recapitalizations). Payroll Deductions. The payroll deductions made for each participant may be not less than 2% nor more than 10% of a participant's base earnings. Base earnings is defined in the Purchase Plan as all compensation, including payments for overtime work and shift differential, but excluding all incentive compensation, sales commissions and other bonuses. Payroll deductions commence with the first paycheck issued during the Participation Period and are deducted from subsequent paychecks throughout the Participation Period unless changed or terminated as provided in the Purchase Plan. The participant may, if permitted by the Plan Administrator, decrease the rate of payroll withholding during a Participation Period by filing a new participation agreement. The new rate becomes effective the first day of the second payroll period which begins following the receipt of the new participation agreement. The participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding for the next Participation Period by filing a new participation agreement on or before the date specified by the Plan Administrator and if none is stated, then no later than the first day of the Participation Period for which the change is to be effective. The Company maintains a plan account in the name of each participant and credits the amount deducted from compensation to such account. Purchase of Stock; Price. As of the last day of each Participation Period, each participant's accumulated payroll deductions are applied to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at a price which is the lower of (i) 85% of the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on the first trading day of the Participation Period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value per share of the Common Stock on the last trading day during the Participation Period. The fair market value of the Common Stock on a given date is defined as the closing price as reported by the Nasdaq National Market. In the event that the aggregate number of shares which all participants elect to purchase during a Participation Period exceeds the number of shares remaining for issuance under the Purchase Plan, the available shares will be ratably divided and any excess cash will be refunded to the participants. Participants are notified by statements of account as soon as practicable following the end of each Participation Period as to the amount of payroll deductions, the number of shares purchased, the purchase price and the remaining cash balance of their plan account. Certificates representing whole shares are delivered to a brokerage account and kept in such account pursuant to the participation agreement. The shares must be kept in the brokerage account for two years from the date of grant unless sold. Withdrawal From the Purchase Plan. Participants may withdraw from participation under the Purchase Plan at any time up to the last day of a Participation Period by filing the prescribed form with the Plan Administrator. As soon as practicable after withdrawal, payroll deductions cease and all amounts credited to the participant's plan account are refunded in cash, without interest. A participant who has withdrawn from the Purchase Plan shall not be a participant in future Participation Periods unless he or she re-enrolls pursuant to the Purchase Plan's guidelines. Termination of Employment. Termination of a participant's status as a full-time or permanent part-time employee for any reason, including death, is treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Purchase Plan. A participant may designate in writing a beneficiary who is to receive shares and cash in the event of the participant's death subsequent to the purchase of shares, but prior to delivery. A participant may also designate a beneficiary to receive cash in his or her account in the event of such participant's death prior to the last day of the Participation Period. Nontransferability. The rights or interests of any participant in the Purchase Plan or in any shares or cash to which such participant may be entitled, shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, or by any other manner than as permitted by the Code, by will or the laws of descent and distribution. An attempt by a participant to transfer an interest in violation of the Purchase Plan is treated as an automatic withdrawal. Amendment and Termination of the Purchase Plan. The Board of Directors has the right to amend, modify or terminate the Purchase Plan at any time without notice; provided, however, stockholder approval shall be obtained when required by applicable laws, regulations or rules. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of a subdivision or consolidation of outstanding shares, the payment of a stock dividend or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without the receipt of 6 consideration by the Company, the aggregate number of shares offered under the Purchase Plan, the number and price of shares which any participant may elect to purchase and the maximum number of shares which a participant may elect to purchase under the Purchase Plan in any Participation Period, shall be proportionately adjusted. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or a merger or consolidation to which the Company is a constituent corporation, the Purchase Plan shall terminate, unless the plan of merger, consolidation or reorganization provides otherwise, and all amounts which each participant has paid towards the stock purchase price shall be refunded. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE 1984 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN NEW PLAN BENEFITS The amounts of future stock purchases under the Purchase Plan are not determinable because, under the terms of the Purchase Plan, purchases are based upon elections made by participants. Future purchase prices are not determinable because they are based upon fair market value of the Company's Common Stock. PROPOSAL NO. 3 - RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The Board of Directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year ending March 28, 1999, and the stockholders are being asked to ratify such selection. Price Waterhouse LLP, which merged with Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. effective July 1, 1998 to form PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has been engaged as the Company's independent accountants since 1993. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS 7 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth certain information, as of July 1, 1998, with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company's Common Stock by: (a) each stockholder known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company's Common Stock; (b) each director and nominee; (c) each Named Executive Officer (as defined below); and (d) all current officers and directors as a group.

9 REPORT OF COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The report of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee on Executive Compensation shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts. This report is provided by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors of Integrated Device Technology, Inc. to assist stockholders in understanding the objectives and procedures in establishing the compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Leonard C. Perham, and other executive officers. During the Company's fiscal year ended March 29, 1998, the Company's compensation program was administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors. The role of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee was to review and approve salaries, cash bonuses and other compensation of the executive officers and to administer the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Option Plan") and 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Option Plan"), including review and approval of stock option grants under the 1994 Option Plan to the executive officers. Executive officers are not eligible for stock option grants under the 1997 Option Plan. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee consists solely of outside directors, Messrs. Bolger and Faggin. Compensation Philosophy The Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that the compensation of the Company's executive officers should be: o competitive in the market place; o directly linked to the Company's profitability and to the value of the Company's Common Stock; and o sufficient to attract, retain and motivate well-qualified executives who will contribute to the long-term success of the Company. In 1996, the Company's Human Resources Department, working with an independent outside consulting firm, developed executive compensation data from a nationally recognized survey for a group of similar size high technology companies and provided this data to the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The factors used to determine the participants in the survey included annual revenue, industry, growth rate and geography. The Company's executive level positions, including the Chief Executive Officer, were matched to comparable survey positions and competitive market compensation levels to determine base salary, target incentives and target total cash compensation. Practices of such companies with respect to stock option grants are also reviewed and compared. In preparing the performance graph for this Proxy Statement, the Company used the S&P Electronic (Semi/Components) Index ("S&P Index") as its published line of business index. The companies in the survey were substantially similar to the companies contained in the S&P Index. Approximately two-thirds of the companies included in the survey group are included in the S&P Index. The remaining companies included in the survey group were felt to be relevant by the Company's independent compensation consultants because they compete for executive talent with the Company notwithstanding that they are not included in the S&P Index. In addition, certain companies in the S&P Index were excluded from the survey group because they were determined not to be competitive with the Company for executive talent, or because compensation information was not available. This competitive market data, along with the Company's general knowledge of compensation trends in the survey group, is reviewed each year with the Chief Executive Officer for each executive level position and with the Compensation and Stock Option Committee as to the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, each executive officer's performance for the last fiscal year and objectives for the subsequent year are viewed, together with the executive's responsibility level and the Company's fiscal performance versus objectives and potential performance targets for the subsequent year. 10 Key Elements of Executive Compensation The Company's executive compensation program consists of a cash and an equity-based component. Base pay and, if warranted, an annual bonus and a semi-annual award under the Company's Profit Sharing Plan constitute the cash components. Grants of stock options under the Company's 1994 Option Plan comprise the equity-based component. The Vice President of Sales is also eligible to receive a commission-based bonus, which is paid quarterly. Cash Components. Cash compensation is designed to fluctuate with Company performance. In years that the Company exhibits superior financial performance, cash compensation is designed to be above average competitive levels; when financial performance is below goal, cash compensation is designed generally to be below average competitive levels. Essentially, this is achieved through the cash bonus and Profit Sharing Plan awards, which fluctuate generally with pre-tax profitability. Base Pay: Base pay guidelines are established for executive officers after a review of compensation survey data referred to above, adjusted to reflect changes in compensation trends since the survey was prepared. Individual base pay within the guidelines is based on sustained individual performance toward achieving the Company's goals and objectives. Executive salaries are reviewed annually. Executive officer salaries increased by 7% over salaries for fiscal 1997 annualized for executive officers joining the Company during fiscal 1997. Bonus: The Company's bonus policy is to pay an annual cash bonus to certain executive officers and other key employees based on the pre-tax earnings of the Company and the employee's individual performance. Payment of bonuses is usually made in the first quarter of each fiscal year for performance during the previous year. The amount of each bonus is determined by the Chief Executive Officer subject to the approval of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee. The aggregate amount of all bonuses paid for any single fiscal year may not exceed 6% of pre-tax profits for the year. Pursuant to this policy, certain of the Company's executive officers received a bonus for fiscal 1998. The Company's Chief Executive Officer did not receive a bonus for fiscal 1998. Profit Sharing Plan: The Profit Sharing Plan is available to all employees who have at least six months of service with the Company. The Board of Directors determines the amount of annual contributions under the Profit Sharing Plan. In fiscal 1998, $437,500 in contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan were made. Additionally, 1% of pre-tax profit was contributed semiannually to each employee's Section 401(k) Plan account. Contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan and Section 401(k) Plan are made in cash and distributed semi-annually. The amount of each participating employee's distribution is that portion of total funds available for distribution equal to such employee's base salary divided by the aggregate base salaries of all participating employees. Equity-Based Component. Stock options are an essential element of the Company's executive compensation package. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that equity-based compensation in the form of stock options links the interests of management and stockholders by focusing employees and management on increasing stockholder value. The actual value of such equity-based compensation depends entirely on appreciation of the Company' stock. Approximately 40% of the Company's employees participate in the Company's 1994 Option Plan, and approximately 8% of the Company's employees participate in the Company's 1997 Option Plan. During fiscal 1998, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee made stock option grants to certain executives including the Chief Executive Officer. See "Executive Compensation--Option Grants in Fiscal 1998." Stock options typically have been granted to executive officers when the executive first joins the Company, annually thereafter, in connection with significant changes in responsibilities, and, occasionally, to achieve equity within a peer group. In some cases, stock options are awarded to incentive certain employees to attain or help the Company attain specified goals. The number of shares subject to each stock option granted takes into account or is based on anticipated future contribution and ability to impact corporate and/or business unit results, past performance or consistency within the executive's peer group, prior option grants to the executive officer and the level of vested and unvested options. The purpose of these options is to provide greater incentives to those officers to continue their employment with the Company and to strive to increase the value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant. These options generally vest as to 25% of the total shares one year after the date of grant and then monthly over the next three years. In addition, the Committee has also granted "fourever" options, which vest monthly over the one-year period following the third anniversary of the date of grant. The "fourever" program is intended to provide continuing incentive to employees to remain with the Company. 11 Fiscal 1998 CEO Compensation In evaluating the compensation of Mr. Perham, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for services rendered in fiscal 1998, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee examined both quantitative and qualitative factors. In looking at quantitative factors, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee reviewed the Company's fiscal 1998 financial results and compared them with the Company's financial results in fiscal 1997 and with the companies in the S&P Electronics Index. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee reviewed the Company's net income for fiscal 1998, the Company's increase in earnings per share in fiscal 1998, the Company's increase in revenues for fiscal 1998 and other factors. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee did not apply any specific quantitative formula which could assign weights to those performance measures or establish numerical targets for any given factor. Based on the foregoing, the factors considered in determining the sizes of the stock option awards discussed above and certain other incentives that the Compensation and Stock Option Committee wished to provide to Mr. Perham, the Committee made the following determinations with respect to Mr. Perham's compensation for fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1998, Mr. Perham's base salary was decreased to $339,393 (compared to $351,848 in fiscal 1997). Mr. Perham received no bonus in fiscal 1998. For fiscal 1998, Mr. Perham received a payment of $1,506 under the Profit Sharing Plan and $35 in profit sharing under the Section 401(k) Plan. During fiscal 1998, Mr. Perham was granted one option for 100,000 shares that vests in accordance with the Company's normal vesting procedures and two additional options for an aggregate of 200,000 shares that vest on the earlier of 2002 or the attainment of certain objectives by certain of the Company's business units. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes such options are appropriate for Mr. Perham's level of responsibility and are well within competitive practice, taking into account prior option grant history, the level of vested versus unvested shares and the number of shares Mr. Perham already owned. The Compensation and Stock Option Committee determined that these new options granted provided the necessary incentives to Mr. Perham. Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 162(m)"), generally provides that publicly held corporations may not deduct in any taxable year certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the chief executive officer and the next five most highly compensated executive officers. The 1994 Option Plan and the Profit Sharing Plan are in compliance with Section 162(m) and the Company believes that its compensation programs will generally satisfy the requirements for deductibility of all cash and stock-related incentive compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers under Section 162(m). However, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee considers one of its primary responsibilities to be providing a compensation program that will attract, retain and reward executive talent necessary to maximize shareholder returns. Accordingly, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee believes that the Company's interests are best served in some circumstances to provide compensation (such as salary and perquisites) which might be subject to the tax deductibility limitation of Section 162(m).

This valuation model is hypothetical. If the stock price does not increase over the exercise price, compensation to the Named Executive Officer would be zero. (2) Except as otherwise noted, the options shown in the table are non-qualified stock options that vest in 12 equal monthly increments beginning approximately three years after the date of grant. The terms of the 1994 Option Plan provide that these options may become exercisable in full in the event of a change in control (as defined in the 1994 Option Plan). (3) All stock options are granted at the fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise price and tax withholding obligations related to exercise may be paid by delivery of shares already owned and tax withholding obligations related to exercise may be paid by offset of the underlying shares, subject to certain conditions. (4) This option is a non-qualified stock option that vests on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to earlier vesting based on performance targets. (5) This option is a non-qualified stock option that vests in 12 equal monthly increments beginning on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to earlier vesting based on performance targets.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS The Company has a Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors, comprised of John C. Bolger and Federico Faggin, both of whom are outside directors. This Committee makes decisions regarding option grants to employees including executive officers. No interlocking relationship exists between the Board or the Compensation and Stock Option Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor did any such interlocking relationship exist during fiscal 1998. 15 PERFORMANCE GRAPH The Performance Graph shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts. The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that the Company include in this Proxy Statement a line-graph presentation comparing cumulative, five-year stockholder returns on an indexed basis with (i) a broad equity market index and (ii) an industry index or peer group. Set forth below is a line graph comparing the percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Company's Common Stock against the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Standard & Poor's Electronics (Semi/Components) Index for a period of five fiscal years. The Company's fiscal year ends on a different day each year because the Company's year ends at midnight on the Sunday nearest to March 31 of each calendar year. However, for convenience, the amounts shown below are based on a March 31 fiscal year end. "Total return," for the purpose of this graph, assumes reinvestment of all dividends. [The following descriptive data is supplied in accordance with Rule 304(d) of Regulation S-T]

16 CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS The Company has from time to time retained Phillip Perham, a contractor and the brother of Leonard C. Perham, as an independent contractor to perform certain construction services in connection with improvements and repairs to various Company facilities. The Company paid Phillip Perham an aggregate of approximately $553,000 for such services during fiscal 1998. During fiscal 1998, Carl Berg, a director of the Company, advanced $9.7 million to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company in connection with the Company's purchase of real estate and options to purchase real estate in California from third parties. The loan, made pursuant to an oral agreement, bears interest at the prime rate and is payable by the Company on demand by Mr. Berg. COMPLIANCE UNDER SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC and the Nasdaq National Market. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on the Company's review of the copies of such forms furnished to it and written representations from the executive officers and directors, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements were met, except for one Form 4 for Mr. Faggin that was filed late with respect to one transaction. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT NEXT ANNUAL MEETING Proposals of stockholders that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting must be received by the Company no later than March 12, 1999.
