                                                                     EXHIBIT 2.2

                               AGREEMENT OF MERGER

                  THIS AGREEMENT OF MERGER (the  "Agreement") is entered into as
of this October 1, 1996,  by and among  Integrated  Device  Technology,  Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Acquirer"), Integrated Device Technology Salinas Corp., a
California  corporation  wholly  owned by Acquirer  ("Merger  Sub") and Baccarat
Silicon, Inc., a California corporation ("Target").

                  The  parties  intend  that Merger Sub will merge with and into
Target in a triangular  statutory  merger (the  "Merger")  with Target to be the
surviving corporation of the Merger, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this  Agreement and the Agreement  and Plan of  Reorganization  dated October 1,
1996 (the "Plan of Reorganization") and the applicable provisions of the laws of
California. At the Effective Time (as defined below) all the outstanding capital
stock of Target will be converted into capital stock of Acquirer.  The Merger is
intended to be treated as a tax-free  reorganization  pursuant to the provisions
of Section  368(a)(1)(A)  of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"),  by virtue of the provisions of Section  368(a)(2)(E)  of the Code. The
parties therefore agree as follows:


         1.       PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

                  1.1 The Merger.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement,  Merger  Sub will be merged  with and into  Target  pursuant  to this
Agreement  and the Plan of  Reorganization  and in  accordance  with  applicable
provisions of the laws of the California as follows:

                           1.1.1  Conversion of Shares.  At the Effective  Time,
the  outstanding  shares of Target common stock ("Target  Common Stock") will be
converted  into the right to receive  seven  hundred  eighty-two  thousand  four
hundred  forty-five  (782,445)  shares (the  "Exchange  Shares")  of  Acquirer's
unregistered   common  stock,   $0.001  par  value  ("Acquirer  Common  Stock").
Therefore,  each share of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the filing of this  Agreement with the Secretary of State of California
(the "Effective Time"),  other than any shares for which appraisal or dissenters
rights have been or will be perfected in compliance with applicable law, will by
virtue of the Merger at the Effective  Time,  and without  further action on the
part of any holder  thereof,  be  converted  into the right to receive  39.12225
fully paid and  nonassessable  shares of Acquirer  Common  Stock.  Each Exchange
Share to be issued in the Merger  shall be deemed to include  the  corresponding
right  (the   "Acquirer   Rights")  to  purchase   shares  of  Series  A  Junior
Participating  Preferred  Stock,  $.001 par value,  of Acquirer  pursuant to the
Amended  and  Restated  Rights  Agreement  dated as of  February  27,  1992 (the
"Acquirer  Rights  Agreement")  between  Acquirer and The First National Bank of
Boston,  as Rights  Agent.  Prior to the  Distribution  Date (as  defined in the
Acquirer Rights Agreement),  all references in this Agreement to Exchange Shares
shall be deemed to include the Acquirer Rights corresponding thereto.




                           1.1.2  Adjustments for Capital Changes.  If, prior to
the  Merger,  Acquirer  or  Target  recapitalizes  through  a  split-up  of  its
outstanding  shares into a greater  number,  or a combination of its outstanding
shares into a lesser number, reorganizes,  reclassifies or otherwise changes its
outstanding  shares  into the same or a  different  number  of  shares  of other
classes (other than through a split-up or combination of shares  provided for in
the previous clause),  or declares a dividend on its outstanding  shares payable
in shares or securities  convertible into shares or issues  additional shares or
equity securities,  the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock into which the
Target  shares  are to be  converted  will be  adjusted  appropriately  so as to
maintain the proportionate interests of the holders of the Target shares and the
holders of Acquirer shares.

                           1.1.3 Dissenting Shares.  Holders of shares of Target
Common Stock ("Target Shareholders") who have complied with all requirements for
perfecting  shareholders' rights of appraisal, as set forth in Chapter 13 of the
California  Corporations  Code  ("California  Law"),  shall be entitled to their
rights under California Law with respect to such shares ("Dissenting Shares").

                  1.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Acquirer Common
Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger; provided,  however, that the
Target  Shareholders shall agree, prior to the Closing of the Agreement and Plan
of  Reorganization,  and shall notify  Acquirer  which Target  Shareholder  will
receive all  fractional  shares  issuable to Target  shareholders,  which in the
aggregate will not exceed one share of Acquirer's Common Stock.

                  1.3  Effects of the Merger.  At the  Effective  Time:  (a) the
separate  existence  of Merger Sub will cease and Merger Sub will be merged with
and into Target, and Target will be the surviving  corporation,  pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement;  (b) the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Target
will  become the  Articles  of  Incorporation  and the  Bylaws of the  surviving
corporation;  (c) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding  immediately
prior to the Effective  Time will, at the Effective  Time, be converted into one
share  of the  Common  Stock  of the  surviving  corporation;  (d) the  Board of
Directors  and  officers  of Merger Sub will become the Board of  Directors  and
officers  of  the  surviving  corporation;   (e)  each  share  of  Target  Stock
outstanding  immediately  prior  to the  Effective  Time  will be  converted  as
provided in Sections 1.1 and 1.2;  and (f) the Merger  will,  from and after the
Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by applicable law.

                  1.4 Further Assurances. Merger Sub agrees that if, at any time
before or after the Effective  Time,  Acquirer  considers or is advised that any
further deeds,  assignments or assurances are reasonably  necessary or desirable
to vest,  perfect or confirm in  Acquirer  or Target  title to any  property  or
rights of  Merger  Sub,  Acquirer  and  Target  and their  proper  officers  and
directors  may  execute  and deliver  all such  proper  deeds,  assignments  and
assurances  and do all other things  reasonably  necessary or desirable to vest,
perfect or confirm  title to such  property  or rights in Acquirer or Target 

                                      -2-



and otherwise to carry out the purpose of this Agreement,  in the name of Merger
Sub or otherwise.

         2.       PROCEDURES FOR EXCHANGE OF SHARES.

                  2.1 At the Effective  Time,  all shares of Target Common Stock
that are outstanding immediately prior thereto will, by virtue of the Merger and
without further  action,  cease to exist and will be converted into the right to
receive from Acquirer the Exchange Shares, subject to Section 1.2.

                  2.2 As soon as  practicable  on or after the  Effective  Time,
each holder of shares of Target Common Stock that are not Dissenting Shares will
surrender the  certificate(s) for such shares (the "Target  Certificates")  duly
endorsed as requested by Acquirer, to Acquirer for cancellation.  On or promptly
after the Effective Time and receipt of such Target Certificates,  Acquirer will
issue to each  tendering  holder a  certificate  for the  number  of  shares  of
Acquirer Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.1.1
hereof.

                  2.3 No dividends or distributions payable to holders of record
of Acquirer  Common Stock after the  Effective  Time, or cash payable in lieu of
fractional  shares,  will be  paid to the  holder  of any  unsurrendered  Target
Certificate(s)  until the holder of the Target  Certificate(s)  surrenders  such
Target Certificate(s).  Subject to the effect, if any, of applicable escheat ant
other  laws,  following  surrender  of any  Target  Certificate,  there  will be
delivered to the person entitled thereto,  without  interest,  the amount of any
dividends and distributions  therefor paid with respect to Acquirer Common Stock
so withheld as of any date  subsequent to the  Effective  Time and prior to such
date of delivery.

                  2.4 All Acquirer  Common Stock delivered upon the surrender of
Target Common Stock in  accordance  with the terms hereof will be deemed to have
been  delivered in full  satisfaction  of all rights  pertaining  to such Target
Common Stock.  There will be no further  registration  or transfers on the stock
transfer books of Target or its transfer  agent of the Target Common Stock.  If,
after the Effective Time, Target Certificates are presented for any reason, they
will be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

                  2.5  Until  certificates   representing  Target  Common  Stock
outstanding  prior to the Merger are surrendered  pursuant to Section 2.2 above,
such certificates will be deemed, for all purposes, to evidence ownership of the
number of shares of Acquirer  Common  Stock into which such Target  Common Stock
will have been converted.

         3. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  Any term or provision of this Agreement may
be  amended,  and the  observance  of any term of this  Agreement  may be waived
(either  generally  or in a  particular  instance  and either  retroactively  or
prospectively)  only by a writing signed by the party to be bound  thereby.  The
waiver by a

                                      -3-



party of any  breach  hereof or default in the  performance  hereof  will not be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or any  succeeding  breach or
default.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before
or after  approval of the Target  Shareholders,  but,  after such  approval,  no
amendment will be made which by applicable law requires the further  approval of
the Target Shareholders without obtaining such further approval.

         4.       TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

                  4.1      Prior to Closing.

                           4.1.1 This  Agreement  may be  terminated at any time
prior to the Closing (as  defined in the Plan of  Reorganization)  by the mutual
written consent of each of the parties hereto.

                           4.1.2 Unless  otherwise agreed by the parties hereto,
this Agreement will be terminated if all conditions to the Closing have not been
satisfied or waived on or before December 31, 1996.

                  4.2 At the Closing.  At the  Closing,  this  Agreement  may be
terminated:

                           4.2.1 By Acquirer if any of the conditions  precedent
to Acquirer's  obligations set forth in Article 8 of the Plan of  Reorganization
have not been fulfilled or waived at and as of the Closing; or

                           4.2.2 By Target if any of the conditions precedent to
Target's  obligations set forth in Article 7 of the Plan of Reorganization  have
not been fulfilled or waived at and as of the Closing.

                  Any  termination of this Agreement under this Section 4.2 will
be  effective by the  delivery of notice of the  terminating  party to the other
party hereto.

                  4.3 No Liability.  Any termination of this Agreement  pursuant
to this Article 4 will be without further obligation or liability upon any party
in favor of the other  party  hereto  other  than the  obligations  provided  in
Section  10.2  of  the  Plan  of  Reorganization  and  the  Target  Shareholders
Indemnification  Letter required in Section 4.14 of the Plan of  Reorganization,
which will  survive  termination  of this  Agreement;  provided,  however,  that
nothing  herein will limit the  obligation  of Target and  Acquirer to use their
best  efforts to cause the Merger to be  consummated,  as set forth in  Sections
4.10 and 5.3 of the Plan of Reorganization, respectively.


                                      -4-
