Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On June 17, 2010, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.45% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of June 10, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 17, 2010 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), each between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”).

     The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Interest on the Notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on June 14 and December 14 of each year beginning on December 14, 2010.

     The Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at its option at any time or from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

	•		100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; and
	•		the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Indenture) plus 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.

     The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $298 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions and repurchase its common stock. The Notes were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-167435) (the “Registration Statement”).
