These Post-Effective Amendments relate to the following Registration Statements of Linear Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), each pertaining to the registration of shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) offered under certain employee benefit and equity plans and agreements:

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 26, 2016, by and among the Company, Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Analog Devices”), and Tahoe Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Analog Devices (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Analog Devices. In connection with the Merger, as of the date hereof, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements.

Accordingly, in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities of the Company that had been registered but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof.
