MAXIM PROVIDES UPDATE ON NASDAQ LISTING MATTERS

SUNNYVALE, CA-July 9, 2007-Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) announced that it has submitted a request to the Board of Directors of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") requesting that it exercise its discretion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4809 to stay any future action to suspend trading of Maxim's common stock on Nasdaq. Specifically, Maxim requested the Board of Directors of Nasdaq for additional time within which to complete and file its past due periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and to allow continued listing of its common stock on Nasdaq during this period.

Maxim also received a Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter on July 3, 2007 stating that Maxim failed to comply with Nasdaq requirements to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within one-year from the end of its fiscal year 2006, to solicit proxies and to provide proxy statements to Nasdaq during this period. These requirements are set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4350(e) and 4350(g). Maxim has been unable to engage in proxy solicitation activity and to hold an annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected due to its inability to provide an annual report to shareholders that must contain audited financial statements. The required audited financial statements are currently unavailable due to the pending restatement of certain of its historical financial statements as a result of its stock option inquiry.

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