On November 5, 1996, PMC-Sierra, Inc. (the "Company") filed its
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-15519), covering 804,407 shares
(3,217,628 shares after giving effect to stock splits on April 30, 1999 and
January 31, 2000) of the Company's Common Stock to be sold by certain
stockholders of the Company. On August 28, 1997, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ("Commission") declared the Registration Statement effective.
The Registration Statement was filed in order to register shares of the
Company's Common Stock issued to the former stockholders of Bipolar Integrated
Technology, Inc. ("BIT"), which was acquired by the Company on September 3,
1996.
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the Company respectfully requests that the Commission withdraw the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3. The Company is requesting the
withdrawal of the Registration Statement because, pursuant to the terms of the
Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and BIT, the Company's obligations
to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement expired on September
3, 1998.
Accordingly, the Company hereby de-registers the 46,913 (post split) shares
of its Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement remaining
unsold thereunder.
