Exhibit 10.9

▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

VIA EMAIL

Dear ▇▇▇▇▇:

This letter summarizes the terms of your retirement from employment with Analog Devices, Inc. (the “Company”). The purpose of this letter (also referred to as the “Agreement”), and the supplemental release attached as Schedule A, is to outline your retirement arrangement and to release the Company from all legally waivable claims. The retirement terms set out in Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement are contingent on the Company receiving approval of those terms from the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its February 16, 2021 meeting.

By signing this Agreement, you will be giving up valuable legal rights. For this reason, it is very important that you carefully review and understand the Agreement before signing it. The deadline for accepting this Agreement is twenty-one (21) days from the date of receipt. The Company encourages you to consult with a lawyer or other trusted advisor, before signing the document.

Subject to approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the meeting scheduled to take place on February 16, 2021 meeting, the terms of your retirement are as follows:

1. Employment Status and Final Payments:

(a) Your retirement from employment with the Company will be effective as of October 17, 2021 (the “Retirement Date”). Starting on January 31, 2021, and ending on the Retirement Date, you will serve as an advisor to Senior Vice President ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. During the period between January 31, 2021 and the Retirement Date you will continue to receive your base pay, and participate in benefit plans, in the same manner and, as to the benefit plans, subject to the same terms and conditions, as prior to January 31, 2021.

(b) Your resignation from your current role and membership on the Chief Executive Officer’s staff will be effective on January 31, 2021. The Compensation Committee will accept your resignation as a Section 16 Officer at its meeting scheduled for February 16, 2021.

(c) You will receive a payment on the Retirement Date for all earned salary or wages and for all accrued but unused vacation time and any full sabbatical that you were granted and have not used.

(d) If you are a participant in the Sales Compensation Plan, you will receive compensation plan payments (which include the Profit Component) up to the last fully completed quarter worked based on your eligible earnings as of the Retirement Date. The payments, if any, will be paid when due to you in compliance with the terms of the Sales Compensation Plan.

(e) Any outstanding stock options, RSUs, RSAs or other equity awards that you have been granted and currently hold will be governed by and subject to the terms of the applicable plan and your specific grant documents.

(f) Deferred compensation will be distributed to you in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan and consistent with the election you made at the time you became eligible to participate in the Plan. In compliance with the tax laws, your deferred compensation distributions will be delayed until six (6) months after your Retirement Date.

(g) You have (i) received all compensation due you as a result of services performed for the Company; (ii) reported to the Company any and all work-related injuries or occupational disease incurred by you during your employment; (iii) been properly provided by the Company any leave requested under the FMLA or similar state local laws and have not been subjected to any improper treatment, conduct or actions due to a request for or taking such leave; (iv) had the opportunity to provide the Company with written notice of any and all concerns regarding suspected ethical and compliance issues or violations on the part of the Company or any other released person or entity; and (v) reported any pending judicial or administrative complaints, claims, or actions against the Company or any other released person or entity. You further acknowledge that you do not have a pending claim of unlawful discrimination; harassment; sexual harassment, abuse, assault, or other criminal conduct; or retaliation.

2. Consideration: You agree and acknowledge that you are receiving bargained for consideration in exchange for the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the Release, Confidentiality and Continuing Post-Employment Obligations provisions set forth herein. In exchange for, and in consideration of, your full execution of this Agreement within 21 days and the Supplemental Release of Legal Claims attached as Schedule A on or after your Retirement Date, and after the seven (7)-day revocation period set forth in both Agreements has expired without being exercised, the Company agrees as follows:

(a) Severance Pay: The Company will provide you with severance pay equivalent to Forty-Nine (49) weeks (“the Severance Period”) of base salary, which is equal to Four Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand & Thirty-Eight Dollars ($424,038.00) (“Severance Pay”). Severance Pay will be paid in a lump sum, less customary payroll deductions, taxes and withholdings. The lump sum will be paid to you within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Supplemental Release of Legal Claims attached as Schedule A. The term “effective date” is as defined in Section 4 of the Supplemental Release of Legal Claims.

i. The Severance Pay in Section 2(a) and medical insurance subsidies outlined in Section 2(c) below are intended as retirement benefits. If during the Severance Period you accept a job with another employer, begin an engagement as an independent contractor or otherwise become self-employed, such conduct is inconsistent with retirement, and,

as a result, the benefits outlined in Section 2(c) below will cease as of the date you commence new employment or you start your new engagement or other business venture. It is also agreed that such conduct constitutes a material breach of this Agreement for which the Company can pursue damages in a breach of contract action. For this reason, you are obligated to provide the Company with notice (using the contact information provided in Section 10 below) no less than one (1) week prior to the start of any of the foregoing. This notice must include the name and location of the new employer, the business retaining you as an independent contractor or your new business venture, as applicable, and the date the forgoing employment or engagement is scheduled to begin or, as applicable, the date on which the new business venture is scheduled to launch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that pursuing baking and/or music businesses in some form of self-employment is consistent with retirement and the benefits outlined in Section 2(c) will not cease if you do so. Moreover, the Company agrees that continuing your current role as a member of the Board of Directors of United Silicon Carbide, Inc., and as a member of the Strategic Advisory Board at Actnano Corp., and joining the Board of Directors of non-competitive businesses, is not inconsistent with retirement and therefore will not result in the cessation of the benefits outlined in Section 2(c). Nevertheless, when engaging in the foregoing, you must provide the Company with notice as outlined in this Section 2(a)(i). Failure to provide the requisite notice in any of the circumstances set forth in this Section 2(a)(i) will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will also result in the immediate cessation of the medical insurance benefits outlined in Section 2(c) below. If payment of the medical insurance benefits cease pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(a)(i), you will nonetheless remain bound by the release of legal claims and other obligations as set out in Sections 3, 5, 6 and 8 of this Agreement as well as the release of legal claims set out in the Supplemental Release of Legal Claims.

ii. You may not apply for employment with the Company until six (6) months after the Severance Period expires. Likewise, you may not provide services as a contractor to the Company until six (6) months after the Severance Period expires.

iii. Limited exceptions to the restrictions in Section 2(a)(ii) above may be permitted only with written approval from the Chief People Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the applicable Senior Vice President.

(b) Bonus: You will remain eligible for Q1 and Q2 quarterly bonus payments under the 2021 Executive Performance Incentive Plan (the “2021 Bonus Plan”) based on your eligible earnings. Despite not working on a full-time basis after January 31, 2021, and despite the fact that the 2021 Bonus Plan is tied to performance and does not guarantee payment, the Company is guaranteeing payment of your Q1 bonus and Q2 bonus based on your eligible earnings subject to the corporate bonus payout factor in the same manner as employees on the 2021 Executive Performance Incentive Plan. These bonuses will be paid when due to you in compliance with the terms of the 2021 Executive Performance Incentive Plan. For avoidance of doubt, you will not be eligible for, and you will not be paid, a bonus for Q3 and Q4 of 2021.

(c) Benefits: If you elect COBRA following the Retirement Date, you and your dependents will remain eligible to participate in the following group benefit plans if enrolled in these plans prior to the Retirement Date: (i) medical, dental and/or vision plans (subject to the

COBRA notice that you will receive by separate communication) and (ii) the Work/Life Program (only if enrolled in the medical plan or medical credit option as of the Retirement Date), for a maximum of eighteen (18) months. During the Severance Period, the Company will continue to pay the same percentage of the monthly premiums as it does for all active employees in the same plans. You will be billed directly from Alight Solutions for your portion of the premiums. Failure to pay your portion of the monthly premium in a timely fashion will result in the cancellation of insurance coverage.

i. After the Severance Period expires, and through the remaining balance of the eighteen (18) month COBRA period, you will be responsible for paying the full cost of the insurance premiums at the COBRA rate of 102% of the active rate. After COBRA coverages end, you must purchase medical insurance on the open market if you want continued coverage until you become eligible for Medicare. The Company will contribute a cash contribution on your behalf, equivalent to the Company’s subsidy for active employees, to a Health Reimbursement Account (“HRA”) to help offset the costs of the foregoing medical insurance after the Severance Period expires until you turn 65 and are eligible for Medicare.

ii. You will be provided with Schedule B, which is a letter from the Company further detailing the benefits that you will be eligible to receive if you sign this Agreement and those that you will no longer be eligible to receive.

(d) Payments: The payments and/or income set forth in this Section 2 will be subject to all applicable federal, state and/or local withholding and/or payroll taxes.

3. Release: This section of the Agreement is a release of legal claims. Please carefully review this section with your attorney, or other trusted advisor, and do not sign this document unless you understand what this section says.

(a) In exchange for the amounts and benefits described in Sections 2(a), (b) & (c), which are in addition to anything of value to which you are entitled to receive, you and your representatives, agents, estate, heirs, successors and assigns, absolutely and unconditionally release and discharge the Company Releasees from any and all legally waivable claims that you have against the Company Releasees. Other than as permitted in Section 3(e) below, this means that by signing this Agreement, you are agreeing not to bring a legal action against the Company Releasees for any type of waivable claim arising from conduct that occurred any time in the past and up to and through the date you sign this document. Company Releasees is defined to include the Company and/or any of its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, predecessors, successors or assigns, and its and their respective current and/or former directors, shareholders/stockholders, officers, employees, attorneys and/or agents, all both individually and in their official capacities.

This release also includes any claim you may have against the Company Releasees for breach of contract, whether oral or written, express or implied; any tort claims (such as wrongful discharge, tortious interference with advantageous relationships, emotional distress and defamation); any claims for equity or employee benefits of any other kind; or any other legally waivable statutory and/or common law claims.

(a) in consideration for the amounts and benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement, which you are not otherwise entitled to receive, you specifically and voluntarily waive such rights and/or claims under the ADEA, and for Illinois employees, under the IHRA, you might have against the Company Releasees to the extent such rights and/or claims arose on or prior to the date this Agreement was executed;

(b) you understand that rights or claims under the ADEA (and for Illinois employees, the IHRA) which may arise after the date this Agreement is executed are not waived by you;

(c) you are advised to consider the terms of this Agreement carefully and consult with or seek advice from an attorney of your choice or any other person of your choosing prior to executing this Agreement; and

6. Period for Review and Consideration of Agreement:

(a) You acknowledge that you were informed and understand that you have twenty-one (21) days to review this Agreement and consider its terms before signing it (the “Review Period”).

(b) The Review Period will not be affected or extended by any revisions, whether material or immaterial, that might be made to this Agreement.

7. Return of Company Property; Reaffirmation of Post-Employment Obligations: You agree that on or before the Retirement Date you will return all Company owned equipment, materials, confidential information, and any other property. You signed an agreement as a condition of your initial hire by the Company containing confidentiality and assignment of invention obligations that may be labeled either as the “Employment Agreement”, “Employee Confidentiality and Developments Agreement”, or “Proprietary Information Agreement”. You agree to abide by the agreement that you signed and further agree that you will not use or disclose the Company’s confidential or proprietary information after the Termination Date. For avoidance of doubt, and as set forth in Section 3(e) above, nothing in this Agreement, your “Employment Agreement”, “Employee Confidentiality and Developments Agreement”, or “Proprietary Information Agreement” prohibits you from reporting possible violations of state or federal law or regulation to any government agency or entity, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of state or federal law or regulation. You are not required to notify the Company that you have made any such reports or disclosures.

Other than as permitted in Section 3(e), you agree that if the Company determines that you have misappropriated confidential or proprietary information, it is a material breach of this Agreement and the Company has the right to demand you return all or a portion of the Severance Pay amount and cease paying you any and all severance-related benefits, but that, nonetheless, you will remain bound by the release provisions set out in Sections 3, 4, 5, and 8 of this Agreement.

8. Future Conduct:

(a) Non-disparagement: Other than as permitted in Section 3(e), you agree not to make disparaging, critical, or otherwise detrimental comments to any person or entity concerning the products, services, or programs provided by the Company or under development by the Company at the time of your departure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section

shall in any way restrict or impede you from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable law or regulation or a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or authorized government agency, provided that such compliance does not exceed that required by the law, regulation or order. Further, nothing in this Agreement, shall have the purpose or effect of requiring you to conceal the details relating to any unlawful employment practice, including a claim of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, provided that you shall not reveal proprietary information consisting of non-public trade secrets, business plans, and customer information. You agree that the requirements and obligations in this Section serve the mutual interests of both you and the Company in ensuring an amicable separation between the Parties.

(b) Confidentiality of this Agreement: In exchange for the valuable consideration described above in Section 2, you agree as follows: other than as permitted in Section 3(e), you will not disclose, divulge or publish, directly or indirectly, any information regarding the financial terms of this Agreement to any person or organization other than (i) your immediate family, (ii) your accountants or attorneys when such disclosure is necessary for the accountants or attorneys to render professional services, (iii) the taxing authorities, (iv) the state unemployment compensation agency; or (v) when otherwise compelled by law. Your entering into this confidentiality provision is a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement. You agree that it is your preference and is in the mutual interest of both you and the Company that the amount of severance pay and benefits agreed to in this Agreement remain confidential.

9. Representations:

(a) This Agreement and the attached Schedules set forth the complete and sole agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter addressed in this document and supersede any and all other agreements or understandings whether oral or written, regarding the subject matter addressed in this document, except the “Employment Agreement,” “Employee Confidentiality and Developments Agreement”, “Proprietary Information Agreement”, and any stock award agreements between you and the Company, each of which will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified, altered or rescinded except upon the express written consent of either the Company’s Chief People Officer or the Company’s General Counsel and you.

(b) If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, void or voidable as against public policy or otherwise, the invalidity will not affect other provisions which may be given effect without the invalid provision. To this extent, the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable. The language of all parts of this Agreement will in all cases be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either of the parties.

(c) This Agreement and any claims arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the internal and domestic laws of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of such state. Any claims or legal actions by one party against the other shall be commenced and maintained in state

or federal court located in California, and you hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court.

(d) You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your duties under this Agreement. The rights and obligations of the Company will inure to the benefit of the Company’s successors and assigns.

10. Effective Date:

You may revoke this Agreement for a period of seven (7) days after signing it. The Agreement will become effective after the 7-day revocation period expires without being exercised. In order to revoke the Agreement, you must submit a written notice of revocation to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇). This written notice may be sent by mail, email, overnight mail or hand-delivery but must be received by ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ no later than the close of business on the seventh (7th) day.

If this letter correctly states the agreement and understanding we have reached, please indicate your acceptance of this Agreement by signing and returning to me before the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day deadline. This Agreement will be dated as of the date of your execution of this Agreement and will become effective upon the later of the following: (i) the 7-day revocation period following your execution of this Agreement or (ii) the 7-day revocation period following the approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at its February 16, 2021 meeting.
