That was the longest press release from ADI that I remember seeing.

If it is any consolation, problems with analog/mixed signal companies like ADI, Maxim and Linear, always come at the end of a semiconductor downturn.

ADI says that its DSP biz is doing well and expects 30% annual growth.

The TXN CEO has been quoted as saying that for every $1 in DSP sales, there is roughly $1.70 in analog parts to support it.

ADI is taking measures to cut costs and stay profitable with a mind on margins.

There is a strong possibility that ADI may get taken over. This is a perfect time for industry consolidation....strengthening one's strategic position to benefit from the eventual upturn in the industry.

Yes, but things are a mess right now.

Good luck all.

Tom
