Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

Conflict Mineral Report

For the Calendar Year Reporting Period Ended December 31, 2016

Company Overview:

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. ("Maxim Integrated" or the "Company" and also referred to as "we," "our" or "us") designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits, commonly referred to as analog circuits, for a large number of geographically diverse customers. The Company also provides a range of high-frequency process technologies and capabilities that can be used in custom designs. The analog market is fragmented and characterized by many diverse applications, a great number of product variations and, with respect to many circuit types, relatively long product life cycles. The Company is a global company with wafer manufacturing facilities in the U.S., testing facilities in the Philippines and Thailand and sales and circuit design offices throughout the world. The major end-markets in which the Company’s products are sold are the Automotive, Communications and Data Center, Computing, Consumer and Industrial markets.

Our Conflict Minerals Policy:

Maxim Integrated is committed to complying with the letter and the spirit of the conflict minerals disclosure requirements adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 13(p) of the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended (“Exchange Act”), in the form of Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (together, the “Conflict Minerals Rule” or “Rule”). Maxim Integrated has considered the Rule’s requirements, guidance from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) that has been recognized as authoritative by the SEC (the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Second Edition, and related Supplements for tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“OECD Due Diligence Guidance”)), and related measures being taken by the EICC (Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition)/GeSI (Global e-Sustainability Initiative) Extractives Work Group, which is part of the joint Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”) formed by these organizations, as well as other private-sector organizations’ conflict minerals compliance initiatives, and is implementing and enhancing its formal Conflict Minerals compliance program accordingly. Our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement is available on our website at: http://investor.maximintegrated.com/corporate-responsibility.

To support this policy, Maxim Integrated:

Conducts a reasonable country of origin inquiry of all of its direct suppliers that have products containing necessary conflict minerals and, if required by the Conflict Minerals Rule (as it was for the calendar year 2016 reporting period), implements a program of due diligence on the source and chain of custody of conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, or “3TG”) that we consider necessary to the functionality or production of our products (“necessary conflict minerals”).

Expects our direct suppliers to have policies and procedures in place which are in compliance with the Maxim Integrated Conflict Minerals Policy Statement, and will enable transparency of the supply chain to facilitate our compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule.

Provides, and expects our direct suppliers to cooperate in providing, reasonable country of origin and due diligence information with regard to use of “necessary conflict minerals” in our supply chain.

Efforts to determine the mine or location of origin of the conflict minerals in our products

Tracing the necessary 3TG we use in our products back to the mine and/or source country of origin of each such mineral is a complex endeavor, but an important aspect of responsible sourcing. To help establish and maintain our supply chain compliance sourcing program, we have followed currently established industry guidelines such as those developed

by the CFSI under the auspices of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, which is taking action to address responsible sourcing through the development of the Conflict-Free Smelter Program ("CFSP") program, which enables companies to source minerals from smelters and refiners that have been subjected to a rigorous, independent third-party audit.

Facilities used to process the conflict minerals in our products; brief description of our products

To implement our reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) survey process, we adopted the CFSI’s industry approach and used that organization’s CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template) to gather information from our first-tier suppliers, asking them to help us trace back the origin of necessary 3TG used in our products by identifying smelters, refineries or recyclers and scrap supplier sources of these minerals. We also utilized the CFSI and its CFSP to trace the mine of origin of the 3TG when such information was available. The CFSP conducts independent audits of smelters and refineries to ensure that all certified smelters and refineries are active in the CFSP.

Maxim Integrated procures IC and discrete components and raw materials that may contain conflict minerals from the following major types of suppliers:


•	Raw material supplier


•	Wafer Foundry


•	IC Assembly Subcontractor and Contract Manufacturers


•	Component Manufacturer

As discussed above, we manufacture a broad range of linear and mixed signal integrated circuits for a variety of uses (e.g., communications and computers), and have our own wafer fabrication facilities. We also use third-party wafer foundries.

The table below lists the facilities which, to the extent known, were identified by responding first-tier suppliers in our supply chain as sourcing smelters or refineries for one or more of the necessary conflict minerals in our products (we use gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten).

* As of April 30, 2017. “CFSP Compliant” means that the Smelter’s name was included on the Conflict Free Smelter and Refiner List published on the CFSI website. “CFSP Active” means that the Smelter’s name was included on the Active Smelters and Refiners List published on the CFSI website. “2016 Compliant” means the Smelter was CFSP Compliant in 2016, but has withdrawn from CSFI in 2017.

Countries of origin for mines of the conflict minerals these facilities process are believed to include:

Australia, Austria, Benin, Bolivia (Plurinational State of), Brazil, Burkina Faso, Burundi Cambodia, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ecuador, Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mali, Mexico, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Russia,

Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Spain, Thailand, Togo, Uganda, United States of America, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Zimbabwe.

Exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of its conflict minerals following recognized framework:

Due Diligence Framework

We have exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of our conflict minerals to identify minerals originating from the Covered Countries (DRC or an adjoining country) that are not from scrap or recycled materials. Maxim Integrated’s due diligence process has been designed and implemented based on the framework set forth in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Our conflict minerals due diligence process in calendar year 2016 followed each of the five OECD-recommended steps:


1.	Establishment of Strong Company Management Systems


2.	Identify and assess risks in the supply chain


3.	Design and implement a strategy to respond to identified risks


4.	Encourage the independent third-party audit of smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices


5.	Report annually on supply chain due diligence

Inherent Limitations on Due Diligence Measures

As a downstream purchaser of conflict minerals or products (including components) manufactured by third parties that contain conflict minerals, our due diligence measures can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the source and chain of custody of the necessary conflict minerals contained in the products we sell to our customers. Our due diligence processes are based on the necessity of seeking data from our direct suppliers, and on those suppliers in turn seeking similar information within their supply chains to identify the original sources of the necessary conflict minerals. We also rely, to a large extent, on information collected and provided by independent third party audit programs such as the CFSP. This process, in our view, is entirely consistent with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for downstream companies. Maxim Integrated is an active member of CFSI which oversees the CFSP audit program.

Brief description of due diligence measures taken

1.0 Strong Company Management Systems:

We have established a management system for complying with the applicable rules. Our management system includes the development of a Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee led by our Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Senior Vice President, Quality and Vice President, Deputy General Counsel. Maxim Integrated has also developed a team of subject matter experts from relevant functions with specific responsibilities. The Quality Director is responsible for directing the project operations and reporting to upper management. The Quality Director is also responsible for implementation of the supply chain due diligence process. Data collection and reporting are handled by the Environmental Materials Management and Information (EMMI) group within the Quality organization. The Environmental Materials Manager is responsible for day-to-day data collection, customer responses, supply chain and smelter communication, data/information validation, and archival documentation.

The team of subject matter experts is responsible for implementing our conflict mineral compliance policy, procedures and strategy. The Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee has been briefed about the results of our due diligence efforts on a periodic basis and the Director of Quality is briefed regularly during staff meetings.

2.0 Identification and Assessment of Risks in the Supply Chain:

We have made our reasonable efforts to identify first-tier suppliers that supply products or raw materials that may potentially contain necessary conflict minerals by conducting a supply chain survey using the EICC CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), requesting all of our direct suppliers to identify smelters and refiners and country of origin of the conflict minerals in products and/or raw materials they supply to us; following up with direct suppliers that do not respond to the EICC CFSI Conflict Minerals Report Template by requesting their responses; comparing smelters and refiners identified by respondents to our supply chain survey against the list of facilities that have received a “Compliant” or “Active” designation from the CFSP, which designations provide country of origin information; and maintaining documentation of our efforts pursuant to this process. We also review the responses to identify red flags in the responses for further follow-up and also identify key risks to our supply chain; this information also is documented.

3.0 Strategic Response to Identified Risks:

We have and will continue to make reasonable efforts to encourage suppliers who are sourcing from non-compliant smelters and/or refineries to move towards using compliant smelters and refiners (as identified via the CFSP and other industry-developed third-party audit mechanisms). If a supplier fails to remedy the risks identified by our risk assessment, we intend to escalate it to Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee to determine whether to approve or reject the supplier based on the following factors: a thorough cost and benefit analysis; potential risk factors; any existing competitive bids; and whether the supplier is a single source supplier. If the Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee decides to continue such a business relationship due to inherent limitations of the supply chain, we will use reasonable efforts to follow up with said supplier for its correction plan, and encourage our suppliers to work with CFSP compliant smelters and refiners. We provide and plan to continue to provide periodic compliance updates or reports to our Conflict Minerals Oversight Committee summarizing our risk mitigation efforts.

4.0 Independent Third Party Audit of Smelter/Refiner’s Due Diligence Practices:

We do not have a direct relationship with 3TG smelters and refiners; hence, we do not and are not able to perform direct audits of these entities that provide the 3TG metals to our supply chain. However, we do rely upon industry efforts, including the EICC CFSI, to influence smelters and refiners to get audited and certified through CFSI’s CFSP. We rely upon the summary audit reports on compliance status for smelters generated by the CFSP to validate the responses received from suppliers surveyed pursuant to our RCOI process and address red flags identified in Step 2 above. We believe our efforts adequately address this requirement in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance.

Results of due diligence measures taken

We are committed to continuing and improving upon the use of our supply chain due diligence processes, leveraging the industry standard CFSP and other resources made available by the CFSI, as well as the LBMA and other respected industry groups, to assist companies in following the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, and the ongoing update of our supplier RCOI information as we continue to develop additional transparency into our supply chain.
