                       STOCK OPTION CONFIRMING MEMORANDUM
                      GRANT OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

We are pleased to advise you that you have been granted an option to
purchase________shares of Analog Devices, Inc. Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth below (the "Option"). The grant of this option reflects
Analog's confidence in your commitment and contributions to the success and
continued growth of the Company.

      GRANT OF OPTION: This memorandum confirms that, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Analog Devices, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"),
Analog Devices, Inc. ("the Company") has granted to you ("the Optionee"),
effective on the Date of Grant set forth below, an option to purchase shares of
the Company's Common Stock (the "Option Shares") as follows:

                    Date of Grant:
                    Number of Option Shares Granted:
                    Option Exercise Price Per Share:

ALL TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO SUCH TERMS IN
THE PLAN.

            EXERCISE OF OPTION: The Option is exercisable as follows:

                    EXERCISE PERIOD                        NUMBER OF SHARES

The right of exercise is cumulative, so that if the Option is not exercised to
the maximum extent permissible during any period, it is exercisable, in whole or
in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time during any
subsequent period prior to the expiration or termination of the Option.

            TERM OF OPTION; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT:

      1.    The term of the Option is ten (10) years after the Date of Grant,
            subject, however, to the early termination provisions set forth
            herein.

      2.    Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall be exercisable
            by the Optionee (or his/her successor in interest) following the
            termination of the Optionee's employment only to the extent that the
            Option was exercisable on or prior to the date of such termination.

      3.    The Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee voluntarily
            terminates employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries
            (except on retirement as provided below) or on the date his/her
            employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" (as defined
            in paragraph 4), but the Option Shares which are exercisable on the
            date of such termination shall continue to be exercisable for a
            period of three (3) months following such termination date.

      4.    The Option shall terminate on the date the Optionee's employment
            with the Company or one of its subsidiaries is terminated by the
            Company for "Cause", and all Option Shares which are then
            exercisable shall forthwith cease to be exercisable. "Cause" for
            this purpose means unsatisfactory job performance (as determined by
            the Company), willful misconduct, fraud, gross negligence,
            disobedience or dishonesty.

      5.    Upon the death of the Optionee while he/she is an employee of the
            Company or one of its subsidiaries, the Option shall become
            exercisable in full on the date of death and shall continue to be
            exercisable (by the Optionee's successor in interest) over the
            remaining term of the Option.

      6.    Upon the retirement of the employee, a fraction (the "Vesting
            Fraction") of the Option Shares which are not exercisable at the
            time of the Optionee's retirement shall, from and after such
            retirement, continue to be exercisable over the remaining term of
            the Option. The employment of the Optionee shall be deemed to
            terminate due to retirement if the Optionee terminates his or her
            employment voluntarily after having (i) attained age 62, (ii)
            completed at least ten years of vesting service as defined under the
            Analog Devices, Inc. The Investment Partnership ("TIP") and (iii)
            prior to termination of employment had completed an orderly
            transition of his or her duties and responsibilities. The Vesting
            Fraction means the fraction determined by subtracting 72 from the
            sum of (a) the Optionee's age and (b) the Optionee's years of
            service determined at the date of termination of employment and
            dividing the result of that calculation by 10.

      7.    If the employment of the Optionee terminates due to disability (as
            determined by the Company), the Option Shares which are not
            exercisable as of the date of disability shall become exercisable on
            the date or dates (over the remaining term of the Option) that they
            otherwise would have been exercisable if the Optionee's employment
            had not been terminated due to disability.

As used herein, the terms "employment" and "employee" shall mean and include any
one of the following relationships with the Company: director, employee,
consultant or advisor.

            PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE: The following payment methods may be used
to purchase Option Shares:

      1.    A cashless exercise in a manner described in the Plan.

      2.    Cash or check payable to the Company.

      3.    Delivery by the Optionee of shares of Common Stock of the Company
            that have been owned by the Optionee for at least six months.

      4.    Any combination of the above methods.

            TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION: The Option may be transferred to a Family
Member of the Optionee. For purposes of this Option, a Family Member is any
child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former
spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law,
daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive
relationships, any person sharing the Optionee's household (other than a tenant
or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the
beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the employee)
control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons
(or the Optionee) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. The
transferee shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the
Option prior to the transfer. The transfer shall not be effective until the
Optionee has notified the Company in writing that the transfer has occurred.
Except as provided herein and except as provided by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, the Option may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or
hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise).

            CHANGE IN CONTROL; ACQUISITION EVENT: In the event of a Change in
Control, one-half of the number of Option Shares which are not then exercisable
shall become immediately exercisable and the remaining one-half shall continue
to become exercisable on each subsequent vesting date in accordance with the
original vesting schedule of the Option, provided that the Option shall become
exercisable in full if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Change in
Control Event, the Optionee's employment with the Company (or an acquiring or
succeeding corporation) is terminated for "Good Reason" by the Optionee or
without "Cause" by the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation (as
such terms are defined in the Plan), all in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 6 of the Plan.

            If an Acquisition Event occurs and the Option is not assumed, or an
equivalent option is not substituted, by the acquiring party, the Option shall
become exercisable in full, including that portion which is not then
exercisable, as provided in Section 6 of the Plan. If the Option is so assumed
or replaced with a substituted option and such Acquisition Event is not also a
Change in Control Event, it shall continue to vest and be exercisable in
accordance with the Option's original vesting schedule.

            WITHHOLDING TAXES: As a condition to the issuance of shares upon
exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to remit to the
Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax
requirements.

                       STOCK OPTION CONFIRMING MEMORANDUM
                       GRANT OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

We are pleased to advise you that you have been granted an option to
purchase______ shares of Analog Devices, Inc. Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth below (the "Option"). The grant of this option reflects
Analog's confidence in your commitment and contributions to the success and
continued growth of the Company.

      GRANT OF OPTION: This memorandum confirms that, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Analog Devices, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan"),
Analog Devices, Inc. ("the Company") has granted to you ("the Optionee"),
effective on the Date of Grant set forth below, an option to purchase shares of
the Company's Common Stock (the "Option Shares") as follows:

                    Date of Grant:
                    Number of Option Shares Granted:
                    Option Exercise Price Per Share:

ALL TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO SUCH TERMS IN
THE PLAN.

      EXERCISE OF OPTION: The Option is exercisable as follows:

                    EXERCISE PERIOD                      NUMBER OF SHARES

The right of exercise is cumulative, so that if the Option is not exercised to
the maximum extent permissible during any period, it is exercisable, in whole or
in part, with respect to all shares not so purchased at any time during any
subsequent period prior to the expiration or termination of the Option.

      TERM OF OPTION; TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: Unless earlier exercised, the
Option shall terminate on, and shall not be exercisable after, the earliest of:

      1.    Ten (10) years after the Date of Grant;

      2.    Three (3) months after the Optionee ceases to be a Director of the
            Company or one of its subsidiaries other than (a) because of death,
            disability, retirement or removal from the Board of Directors, or
            (b) because the Director ceases to be a Director and becomes an
            employee of the Company.

The Option shall be exercisable by the Optionee (or his or her successor in
interest) after such Optionee ceases to be a Director only to the extent that
such Option was exercisable on or prior to the date of such termination except
as otherwise provided for herein. However, if the Optionee dies or becomes
disabled, as determined by the Company, while a Director of the Company, the
Option shall be exercisable in full over the remaining life of the option.

If the Optionee ceases to be a Director by reason of (a) retirement of the
Optionee as a Director at the retirement age determined by the Company, (b) the
Company's removal of the Director by the Board of Directors (except for "cause")
or (c) the Company's failure to nominate the Optionee for reelection as a
Director (other than for such Director's refusal to serve as a Director), this
Option shall, at the time the Optionee ceases to be a Director, be exercisable
for that number of shares of Common Stock which equals the sum of (i) the shares
which are then vested and exercisable and (ii) the shares which would otherwise
become vested and exercisable on the next succeeding anniversary of the date of
grant of this option. For purposes hereof, the term "cause" means the reasonable
determination by a majority of the Directors then in office that the director
has failed to perform his duties and obligations as a Director in a responsible
and effective manner or has otherwise failed to meet the standards established
by the Board of Directors for his continuation as a Director.

If the Optionee becomes an employee of the Company and in connection with such
employment ceases to serve as a Director, this Option shall continue to vest
during the period that he or she is so employed.

            PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE: The following payment methods may be used
to purchase Option Shares:

      1.    A cashless exercise in a manner described in the Plan.

      2.    Cash or check payable to the Company.

transferee shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the
Option prior to the transfer. The transfer shall not be effective until the
