             Semtech Files for Extension on Its First Quarter 10-Q


    CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 2006--Semtech
Corporation (NASDAQ:SMTC), a leading supplier of analog and
mixed-signal semiconductors, announced that it filed today a Form
12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in lieu of
its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006. This filing
extends the due date for the Form 10-Q to June 14, 2006. As previously
reported, the Company received a letter from the SEC on May 18, 2006
requesting certain information and documentation regarding stock
options granted since January 1, 1997. The Company has been
cooperating fully with the SEC and intends to continue to do so. In
light of the SEC inquiry and resulting internal review by the Company,
management was unable to complete the Form 10-Q before the prescribed
filing deadline.
