                    Analog Devices Announces New Board Member

     NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 23, 2005--Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE:
ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing
applications, today announced that Paul J. Severino, founder of Wellfleet
Communications Inc. and co-founder of Bay Networks Inc., will be the company's
newest board member, effective November 22, 2005. Mr. Severino, who presently
serves as an investment advisor to emerging technology companies and venture
funds, will join the board as a class II member with a term to expire in 2007.

     Mr. Severino served as president and CEO of the Billerica,
Massachusetts-based Wellfleet Communications, which grew to become a leading
supplier of high-performance, fault-resilient internetworking systems and
services for enterprise network environments. Wellfleet was named "The Fastest
Growing Company" in the United States by Fortune magazine in 1992 and 1993,
preceding its 1994 merger with Synoptics Communications, Santa Clara,
California. That merger created Bay Networks, where Mr. Severino served as
chairman until 1996. Bay Networks was acquired in 1998 by Nortel Networks.

     "Paul's tireless entrepreneurship and ability to quickly and successfully
capitalize on industry growth trends are valuable, hard-earned qualities, and we
believe he will just as quickly prove an asset to our organization," said Ray
Stata, Chairman of the Board.

     Mr. Severino in 1981 founded Interlan Inc., a leading provider of Ethernet
connectivity products for mini and microcomputer systems, and was involved in
the start-up of Data Translation Inc., where he served as vice president of
engineering from 1976 to 1981.

     Mr. Severino, who earned a degree in electrical engineering in 1969 from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is a director of Sonus Networks and serves as
chairman of Massachusetts Technology Development Corp. He is also a co-founder
and past-chairman of the Massachusetts Telecommunications Council and a trustee
at Rensselaer and The Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts.
