Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

This Form SD of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim Integrated” or “we” or the “Company”), covering the calendar-year reporting period ended December 31, 2015, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(p) of the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and Rule 13p-1 and Form SD thereunder. Section 13(p) was added to the Exchange Act by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and directed the SEC to adopt rules in the form of Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (together, the “Conflict Minerals Rule” or “Rule”). The Conflict Minerals Rule, as now in effect, requires disclosure of certain information by companies filing reports with the SEC that manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which certain minerals specified in Section 13(p) and the Rule as “conflict minerals” are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. These designated “conflict minerals” are gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten. The term “Covered Countries” for purposes of the Conflict Minerals Rule are the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”), and the following adjoining countries: the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Burundi, Tanzania and Angola.

Maxim Integrated has determined that certain of its products contain conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of such products (“necessary conflict minerals”). Accordingly, we were required under the Rule to conduct a good-faith, reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) reasonably designed to determine whether any of the necessary conflict minerals in our products either originated in the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap materials. The following is a brief description of the RCOI process Maxim Integrated undertook in accordance with the Rule.

Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry:

Brief description of inquiry:

To satisfy the RCOI requirement of the Conflict Minerals Rule adopted by the SEC under Section 13(p) of the Exchange Act, Maxim Integrated has, in good faith, surveyed all of its direct suppliers using the Electronic Industry Citizen Coalition ("EICC") and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative ("GeSI") Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. This survey was developed by EICC and GeSI, under the auspices of their joint Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”), to help companies in the electronics and other industries to determine whether any of the designated conflict minerals (as defined above) that are necessary to the functionality or production of their products either came from recycled or scrap sources or originated in one or more of the Covered Countries. As part of the RCOI process, we performed a scoping exercise to understand our multi-tier supply chain, including the relevant supplier and sub-supplier population and the composition of the products or components we procured from such suppliers. We also adopted a framework for evaluating responses from suppliers and identifying potential red flags in suppliers’ responses requiring follow-up inquiries. We have also adopted a company level policy statement on conflict minerals which has been published on our website at http://investor.maximintegrated.com/corporate-responsibility.

Based on the process described above, we believe that we have conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry for the calendar year ended December 31, 2015. We have documented our performance of the RCOI and our analysis of the supplier responses, along with the scoping of our products to focus on those containing necessary conflict minerals, and relevant suppliers for our internal record keeping purposes.

Results of inquiry:

Based on the RCOI survey responses received from our direct suppliers, and our analysis of such responses, as applied to the calendar year ended December 31, 2015, we were unable to ascertain the source mine and/or country of origin of all of the relevant conflict minerals which are necessary to the functionality or production of our products. Therefore, we proceeded to perform reasonable due diligence procedures as required by Section 13(p) and the Conflict Minerals Rule, and as described in more detail in the accompanying Conflict Minerals Report.

Due Diligence on the Source and Chain of Custody of Its Conflict Minerals:

We are required to exercise due diligence on our necessary conflict minerals' source and chain of custody pursuant to a nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. Our due diligence measures have been designed to conform, in all material respects, with the framework set forth in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition, and the Supplements thereto for gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”), because the SEC has specified that this is an appropriate nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework. We have adopted and communicated our conflict mineral policy to our direct suppliers and customers and followed RCOI and due diligence procedures to gather information from our new and existing direct suppliers. In addition, there are also programs in place at Maxim Integrated to encourage our suppliers to source from smelters and refiners subject to rigorous third-party supply chain audits, such as the CFSI’s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) and the London Bullion Market Association’s (“LBMA”) Good Delivery program for gold. These and other due diligence measures Maxim Integrated performed in calendar year 2015 are discussed in greater detail in the attached Conflict Minerals Report.

The content of this website and any other website referred to in this Form SD and/or the accompanying Conflict Minerals Report is not incorporated by reference into either of these documents, or any other document the Company has filed or will file with the SEC.

Conflict Mineral Report

For the Calendar Year Reporting Period Ended December 31, 2015

Company Overview:

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim Integrated" or the "Company" and also referred to as "we," "our" or "us") designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits, commonly referred to as analog circuits, for a large number of geographically diverse customers. The Company also provides a range of high-frequency process technologies and capabilities that can be used in custom designs. The analog market is fragmented and characterized by many diverse applications, a great number of product variations and, with respect to many circuit types, relatively long product life cycles. The Company is a global company with wafer manufacturing facilities in the U.S., testing facilities in the Philippines and Thailand and sales and circuit design offices throughout the world. The major end-markets in which the Company’s products are sold are the Automotive, Communications and Data Center, Computing, Consumer and Industrial markets.

Our Conflict Minerals Policy:

Maxim Integrated is committed to complying with the letter and the spirit of the conflict minerals disclosure requirements adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 13(p) of the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended (“Exchange Act”), in the form of Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (together, the “Conflict Minerals Rule” or “Rule”). Maxim Integrated has considered the Rule’s requirements, guidance from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) that has been recognized as authoritative by the SEC (the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Second Edition, and related Supplements for tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”)), and related measures being taken by the EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition)/GeSI (Global e-Sustainability Initiative) Extractives Work Group, which is part of the joint Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) formed by these organizations, as well as other private-sector organizations’ conflict minerals compliance initiatives, and is implementing and enhancing its formal Conflict Minerals compliance program accordingly. Our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement is available on our website at: http://investor.maximintegrated.com/corporate-responsibility.

To support this policy, Maxim Integrated:

Conducts a reasonable country of origin inquiry of all of its direct suppliers that have products containing necessary conflict minerals and, if required by the Conflict Minerals Rule (as it was for the calendar year 2015 reporting period), implements a program of due diligence on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, or “3TG”) that we consider necessary to the functionality or production of our products (“necessary conflict minerals”).

Expects our direct suppliers to have policies and procedures in place which are in compliance with the Maxim Integrated Conflict Minerals Policy Statement, and will enable transparency of the supply chain to facilitate our compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule.

Provides, and expects our direct suppliers to cooperate in providing, reasonable country of origin and due diligence information with regard to use of “necessary conflict minerals” in our supply chain.

Efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the conflict minerals in our products

Tracing the necessary 3TG we use in our products back to the mine and/or source country of origin of each such mineral is a complex endeavor, but an important aspect of responsible sourcing. To help establish and maintain our supply chain compliance sourcing program, we have followed currently established industry guidelines such as those developed

by the CFSI under the auspices of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, which is taking action to address responsible sourcing through the development of the Conflict-Free Smelter Program ("CFSP") program, which enables companies to source minerals from smelters and refiners that have been subjected to a rigorous, independent third-party audit.

Facilities used to process the conflict minerals in our products; brief description of our products

To implement our reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) survey process, we adopted the CFSI’s industry approach and used that organization’s CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template) to gather information from our first-tier suppliers, asking them to help us trace back the origin of necessary 3TG used in our products by identifying smelters, refineries or recyclers and scrap supplier sources of these minerals. We also utilized the CFSI and its CFSP to trace the mine of origin of the 3TG when such information was available. The CFSP conducts independent audits of smelters and refineries to ensure that all certified smelters and refineries are active in the CFSP.

Maxim Integrated procures IC and discrete components and raw materials that may contain conflict minerals from the following major types of suppliers:

• Raw material supplier

• Wafer Foundry

• IC Assembly Subcontractor and Contract Manufacturers

• Component Manufacturer

As discussed above, we manufacture a broad range of linear and mixed signal integrated circuits for a variety of uses (e.g., communications and computers), and have our own wafer fabrication facilities. We also use third-party wafer foundries.

The table below lists the facilities which, to the extent known, were identified by responding first-tier suppliers in our supply chain as sourcing smelters or refineries for one or more of the necessary conflict minerals in our products (we use gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten).

Due Diligence Framework

We have exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals to identify minerals originating from the Covered Countries (DRC or an adjoining country) that are not from scrap or recycled materials. Maxim Integrated’s due diligence process has been designed and implemented based on the framework set forth in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Our conflict minerals due diligence process in calendar year 2015 followed each of the five OECD-recommended steps:

1. Establishment of Strong Company Management Systems

2. Identify and assess risks in the supply chain

3. Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks

4. Encourage the independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices

5. Report annually on supply chain due diligence

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures

As a downstream purchaser of conflict minerals or products (including components) manufactured by third parties that contain conflict minerals, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals contained in the products we sell to our customers. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers, and on those suppliers in turn seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third party audit programs such as the CFSP and LBMA (if accurate). This process, in our view, is entirely consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for downstream companies.

Brief description of due diligence measures taken

1.0 Strong Company Management Systems:

We have established a management system for complying with the applicable rules. Our management system includes the development of a Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee led by our Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Vice President of Quality and Vice President of Legal and Corporate Secretary. Maxim Integrated has also developed a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions with specific responsibilities. The Quality Director is responsible for directing the project operations and reporting to upper management. The Quality Director is also responsible for implementation of the supply chain due diligence process. Data collection and reporting are handled by the Environmental Materials Management and Information (EMMI) group within the Quality organization. The Environmental Materials Manager is responsible for day-to-day data collection, customer responses, data/information validation, and archival documentation.

The team of subject matter experts is responsible for implementing our conflict mineral compliance policy, procedures and strategy. The Oversight Committee has been briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a periodic basis and the Vice President of Quality is updated on a monthly basis.

2.0 Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain:

We have made our reasonable efforts to identify first-tier suppliers that supply products or raw materials that may potentially contain necessary conflict minerals by conducting a supply chain survey using the EICC and GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), requesting all of our direct suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and country of origin of the conflict minerals in products and/or raw materials they supply to us; following up with direct suppliers that do not respond to the EICC-GeSi Conflict Minerals Report Template by requesting their responses; comparing smelters and refiners identified by respondents to our supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a “Compliant” or “Active” designation from the CFSP, which designations provide country of origin information; and maintaining documentation of our efforts pursuant to this process. We also review the responses to identify red flags in the responses for further follow-up and also identify key risks to our supply chain; this information also is documented.

3.0 Strategic Response to Identified Risks:

We have and will continue to make reasonable efforts to encourage suppliers who are sourcing from non-compliant smelters and/or refineries to move towards using compliant smelters and refiners (as identified via the CFSP and other

industry-developed third-party audit mechanisms). If a supplier fails to remedy the risks identified by our risk assessment, we intend to escalate it to Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee to determine whether to approve or reject the supplier based on the following factors: a thorough cost and benefit analysis; potential risk factors; any existing competitive bids; and whether the supplier is a single source supplier. If the Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee decides to continue such a business relationship due to inherent limitations of the supply chain, we will use reasonable efforts to follow up with said supplier for its correction plan, and encourage our suppliers to work with CFSP compliant smelters and refiners. We provide and plan to continue to provide periodic compliance updates or reports to our Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee summarizing our risk mitigation efforts.

4.0 Independent 3^rd Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices:

We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners, nor do we and hence are not able to perform direct audits of these entities that provide the 3TG metals to our supply chain. However, we do rely upon industry efforts, including the joint EICC/GeSI CFSI, to influence smelters and refiners to get audited and certified through CFSI’s CFSP. We rely upon the summary audit reports on compliance status for smelters generated by the CFSP to validate the responses received from suppliers surveyed pursuant to our RCOI process and address red flags identified in Step 2 above. We believe our efforts adequately address this requirement in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Results of due diligence measures taken

We are committed to continuing and improving upon the use of our supply chain due diligence processes, leveraging the industry standard CFSP and other resources made available by the CFSI, as well as the LBMA and other respected industry groups, to assist companies in following the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, and the ongoing update of our supplier RCOI information as we continue to develop additional transparency into our supply chain.
