Item 4.02(a).    Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

     On January 31, 2007, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it expected to restate its financial statements for the fiscal years 2000 through 2005 and the related interim periods through March 25, 2006 to record additional stock-based compensation expense for certain stock option grants under review. At that time the Company also announced that financial statements for fiscal years prior to 2000 may be restated due to possible process problems in the granting of stock options.

    On January 17, 2008, the Company announced that financial statements for fiscal years 1997 through 1999 will also be restated to record additional stock-based compensation expense for certain stock option grants. The Company expects to record additional non-cash compensation expense during fiscal years 1997 through Fiscal 2006 in the estimated range of $550 to $650 million on a pre-tax basis and $360 to $425 million on an after-tax basis. Accordingly, the financial statements, the related reports of its independent registered public accounting firms, and all earnings press releases and similar communications issued by the Company relating to the periods discussed above (fiscal years 1997 through 2005 and the related interim periods through March 25, 2006) should not be relied upon.

    The Company also announced that the scope of the stock option review will now include a review of stock options granted in years 1995 and 1996 and financial statements for these fiscal years and earlier periods may also need to be restated. The estimated completion date of the Company's restatement has been delayed from the first calendar quarter of 2008 to June 2008, but it cannot give assurances that it will meet this estimated completion date.

    The Company's authorized officers have discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with both the Company's current and former independent registered public accounting firms.

    The press release issued by the Company on January 17, 2008 announcing the matters described in this filing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.    Other Events.

    On January 17, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing an update regarding its financial restatement project.

    A copy of the Company's press release relating to the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
