We have acted as counsel to Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S‑3 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the issuance and/or sale from time to time of an indeterminate number of (i) shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Shares”), (ii) senior and subordinated debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), (iii) shares of preferred stock of the Company (“Preferred Shares”), (iv) warrants and other rights (the “Warrants”) and (v) units comprised of any of the foregoing or securities of other entities (the “Units” and, together with the Common Shares, the Debt Securities, the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”). The Securities may be issued and sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and supplements to the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act.

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company together with all amendments thereto; (ii) the Registration Statement; (iii) the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement; (iv) the Indenture dated as of June 10, 2010 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”); and (v) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
