MAXIM ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF ADDITIONAL NOTICE
FROM NASDAQ REGARDING STOCK LISTING

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) announced that due to its failure to timely file a Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for its fiscal quarter ended March 24, 2007 as required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), it received an Additional Staff Determination letter from Nasdaq on May 7, 2007 stating that this filing delinquency will serve as an additional basis for the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to consider in the context of the proceedings before the Panel. Timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC is a requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14).

As previously announced, Maxim was informed by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the "Listing Council") that it had determined to call the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel's (the "Panel") January 19, 2007 decision (the "Panel Decision") for review, as contemplated by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4807(b), and had also stayed any future action by the Panel to suspend Maxim's securities from trading on Nasdaq pending further review by the Listing Council. The Listing Council's action was in response to Maxim's request for it to review the Panel Decision. On May 4, 2007, Maxim submitted additional information to the Listing Council to consider in its review.

Maxim intends to file its Forms 10-K and 10-Q's and restatements to past financial statements and to become current in its filings with the SEC as soon as practicable.
