Item 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         Silicon Laboratories Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by
reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):

         (a)      The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
                  quarter ended April 1, 2000, filed with the SEC on April 26,
                  2000;

         (b)      The Registrant's Prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to
                  Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
                  amended, (the "1933 Act") filed with the SEC on March 24,
                  2000, in connection with the Registrant's Registration
                  Statement No. 333-94853, in which there is set forth the
                  audited financial statements for the Registrant's fiscal year
                  ended January 1, 2000; and

         (c)      The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 000-29823 on Form
                  8-A12G filed with the SEC on March 7, 2000, in which there is
                  described the terms, rights and provisions applicable to the
                  Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.

         All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act") after the date of this Registration
Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in
a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in
any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant may and, in some cases, must be indemnified by the Registrant
against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative
action, against expenses(including attorneys' fees), if in either type of
action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. This indemnification
does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged
that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Registrant,
unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of
liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and, in a non-derivative
action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         The Registrant's certificate of incorporation, provides that no
director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent
permitted by the

                                       II-1

<PAGE>

DGCL. The Registrant's bylaws require it to indemnify its directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its
directors and executive officers and has purchased directors' and officers'
liability insurance.

         Reference is made to the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1
to Registrant's Registration Statement No. 333-94853, pursuant to which the
underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Registrant's officers and directors
against certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

         Not Applicable.

Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that
clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the Silicon Laboratories Inc. 2000 Stock
Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

         B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act,
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,

                                       II-2

<PAGE>

or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe

undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Austin, State of Texas

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

         Silicon Laboratories Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by
reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):

         (a)      The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
                  quarter ended April 1, 2000, filed with the SEC on April 26,
                  2000;

         (b)      The Registrant's Prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to
                  Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
                  amended, (the "1933 Act") filed with the SEC on March 24,
                  2000, in connection with the Registrant's Registration
                  Statement No. 333-94853, in which there is set forth the
                  audited financial statements for the Registrant's fiscal year
                  ended January 1, 2000; and

         (c)      The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 000-29823 on Form
                  8-A12G filed with the SEC on March 7, 2000, in which there is
                  described the terms, rights and provisions applicable to the
                  Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.

         All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act") after the date of this Registration
Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in
a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in
any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Registrant may and, in some cases, must be indemnified by the Registrant
against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts
paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative
action, against expenses(including attorneys' fees), if in either type of
action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. This indemnification
does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged
that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Registrant,
unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of
liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and, in a non-derivative
action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         The Registrant's certificate of incorporation, provides that no
director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent
permitted by the

                                       II-1
DGCL. The Registrant's bylaws require it to indemnify its directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its
directors and executive officers and has purchased directors' and officers'
liability insurance.

         Reference is made to the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1
to Registrant's Registration Statement No. 333-94853, pursuant to which the
underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Registrant's officers and directors
against certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

         Not Applicable.

99.2              Silicon Laboratories Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that
clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference into this
Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the Silicon Laboratories Inc. 2000 Stock
Incentive Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

         B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act,
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,

                                       II-2
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as

undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Austin, State of Texas
