                     FROM $0.04 PER SHARE TO $0.08 PER SHARE

      SUNNYVALE, CA - August 12, 2003 - Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., (MXIM)
reported net revenues of $295.0 million for its fiscal fourth quarter ending
June 28, 2003, an $8.8 million increase over the $286.2 million reported for the
third quarter of fiscal 2003. Diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the
fourth quarter on net income of $81.7 million compared to diluted earnings per
share of $0.23 on net income of $77.6 million reported for the third quarter of
fiscal 2003. Dallas Semiconductor contributed 18.6% of the Corporation's fourth
quarter earnings per share.

      For the 2003 fiscal year, Maxim reported net revenues of $1.153 billion
compared to $1.025 billion for last year, a 12.5% increase. Net income for the
2003 fiscal year was $309.6 million compared to $259.2 million reported for
fiscal 2002. Dallas Semiconductor contributed 16.8% of the Company's fiscal 2003

      During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company repurchased 1.3
million shares of its common stock for $46.7 million and acquired $28.4 million
of property and equipment. Year-end cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments increased $107.3 million during the quarter to $1.2 billion and
increased $398.5 million or 52.1% from the end of fiscal 2002. Accounts
receivable increased by $2.9 million in the fourth quarter to $126.8 million on
increased revenues, and inventories decreased $2.6 million to $121.2 million.

      Gross margin increased slightly from 69.9% in the third quarter to 70.0%
in the fourth quarter after increasing inventory reserves $2.7 million.
Operating margin increased from 39.2% in the third quarter to 40.1% in the
fourth quarter. Operating margin for Dallas Semiconductor improved from 24.4% in
the third quarter to 30.7% in the fourth quarter. Research and development
expense increased to $67.2 million or 22.8% of net revenues in the fourth
quarter, compared to $66.8 million or 23.3% of net revenues in the third
quarter. The increase in research and development spending was the result of
hiring additional engineers and increased spending to support new product
development efforts. Selling, general and administrative expenses remained
relatively unchanged during the quarter.

      Fourth quarter bookings were approximately $313 million. Turns orders
received in the quarter were $161 million (turns orders are customer orders that
are for delivery within the same quarter and may result in revenue within the
same quarter if the Company has available inventory that matches those orders).
Fourth quarter ending backlog shippable within the next 12 months was
approximately $227 million, including approximately $199 million requested for
shipment in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Company's third quarter ending
backlog shippable within the next 12 months was approximately $219 million,
including approximately $196 million that was requested for shipment in the
fourth quarter.

      Jack Gifford, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented
on the fiscal year: "Maxim's net revenues for the 2003 fiscal year increased 12%
from fiscal 2002 net revenues, and our diluted earnings per share for the year
were up 25% for the same period. Revenues for Dallas Semiconductor grew 4% year
over year, and their earnings per share grew 42%. As a comparison, Maxim without
Dallas Semiconductor saw revenue growth of 15% year over year and earnings per
share growth of 21%. The Company's gross margins and operating margins improved
year over year as we controlled costs and improved efficiencies. Unlike many
semiconductor companies, Maxim has been highly profitable during the industry
downturn, in part because of the success of our proprietary products and in part
because of our effective expense management."

      Mr. Gifford continued: "Maxim remained committed to investing in new
product and process development this year, with an annual R&D expense of 23.6%
of net revenues. Our continued focus on R&D resulted in the introduction of 1959
engineering man-months of new products this past product announcement year, and
we have had important design wins in the next generation of cellular phones,
digital cameras, 802.11 wireless LAN, high-speed data networks, flat panel
displays, and other new electronics. We believe that Maxim continues to be well
positioned to gain market share as corporate and consumer spending levels
improve and our customers become more confident."

      Mr. Gifford concluded: "With consideration for our stockholders and the
Company's profitability, strong cash position, and business outlook, the
Company's Board of Directors has increased this quarter's dividend from $0.04
per share to $0.08 per share. Payment will be made on September 5, 2003 to
stockholders of record on August 22, 2003."
