SUNNYVALE, CA - April 30, 2009 - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) reported net revenue of $339.7 million for its fiscal 2009 third quarter ended March 28, 2009, a 17% decline from the $410.7 million revenue recorded in the previous quarter.

Based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), diluted loss per share was $0.09. The results include certain special expense items which primarily consist of the following pre-tax and tax related expenses:

• $12.4 million pre-tax for accelerated depreciation related to the closure of the Dallas wafer fabrication facility
• $11.0 million pre-tax for severance and restructuring
• $4.0 million pre-tax primarily for stock option related litigation
• $9.2 million tax provision impact due to international restructuring.

Balance Sheet Items

Total cash, cash equivalents and short term investments was $898.3 million as of March 28, 2009, a decrease of $27.2 million during the third quarter. Cash flow from operations of $106.0 million was offset primarily by:

• $31.9 million for the acquisitions of Innova Card and two product lines from Zilog
• $61.0 million for cash dividends
• $36.0 million in payments for property and equipment

Business Outlook

Maxim's fiscal third quarter net realizable bookings increased by 13% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and the Company's 90 day backlog increased by 15% to $238 million. Results for the June quarter are expected to be:

• Revenue: $350 million - $380 million
• Gross Margin: 47% - 50% including 3.4% special expense items
• Operating expenses: $170 - $175 million including $4 - $5 million special expense items
• Tax provision: includes $10 - $12 million special expense items

Tunc Doluca, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to have exceeded our Q3 revenue expectation. A key driver to this upside was our recent design wins in cell phones that began to ship in volume. Inventory restocking by some of our larger customers also contributed to sales exceeding expectations.

However, visibility continues to be limited and the economic environment remains highly uncertain. Consequently, we continue to manage costs closely."

Dividend

A cash dividend for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 of $0.20 per share will be paid on June 5, 2009, to stockholders of record on May 22, 2009.
