MAXIM REPORTS THIRD QUARTER REVENUE OF $487.4 MILLION

SUNNYVALE, CA- May 1, 2008-Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., (PINK OTC MARKETS: MXIM) reported net revenues of $487.4 million for its fiscal 2008 third quarter ending March 29, 2008. This is a 2.4% increase from the $475.8 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, and a 9.7% sequential decrease from the $540.0 million revenue recorded in the previous quarter.

Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by $34.4 million during the third quarter to $1.2 billion. Strong cash flow generated from operations was primarily offset by $60.1 million for dividends and $45.9 million in payments for previously acquired property and equipment.

Maxim is not currently providing detailed GAAP and non-GAAP financials for the quarter ending March 29, 2008 due to the previously announced requirement to restate its historical financial statements to record additional non-cash, stock-based compensation expense related to past stock-option grants. Consequently, limited financial data is being presented.

Business Outlook

Maxim's third quarter net realizable bookings increased by 2.7% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company projects revenue for the fourth quarter to be in the range of $490 to $510 million.
