Ladies and Gentlemen:

Semtech Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the "Initial Purchasers"), for whom you are acting as representative (the "Representative") $300,000,000 principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Underwritten Notes") and, at the option of the Initial Purchasers, up to an additional $37,500,000 principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Option Notes") if and to the extent that the Initial Purchasers shall have determined to exercise the option to purchase such 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 granted to the Initial Purchasers in Section 2 hereof. The Underwritten Notes and the Option Notes are herein referred to as the "Notes". The Notes will be convertible into cash up to the aggregate principal amount of such Notes and cash, shares (the "Underlying Securities") of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes being converted in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture (as defined below). The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated as of October 12, 2022 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the guarantors listed in Schedule 2 hereto (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").

The obligations of the Company in respect of the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the guarantees included therein (the "Guarantees" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities").

In connection with the offering of the Underwritten Notes, the Company is separately entering into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions with one or more of the Initial Purchasers or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (each, a "Call Spread Counterparty"), in each case pursuant to a convertible note hedge confirmation (each, a "Base Bond Hedge Confirmation") and a warrant confirmation (each, a "Base Warrant Confirmation"), respectively, each dated the date hereof (the Base Bond Hedge Confirmations and the Base Warrant Confirmations, collectively, the "Base Call Spread Confirmations"), and in connection with the issuance of any Option Notes, the Company and each of the Call Spread Counterparties may enter into an additional convertible note hedge transaction and an additional warrant transaction, in each case pursuant to an additional convertible note hedge confirmation (an "Additional Bond Hedge Confirmation") and an additional warrant confirmation (an "Additional Warrant Confirmation"), respectively, each to be dated the date on which the option granted to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 2(a) to purchase such Option Notes is exercised (the Additional Bond Hedge Confirmations and the Additional Warrant Confirmations, collectively, the "Additional Call Spread Confirmations" and, together with the Base Call Spread Confirmations, the "Call Spread Confirmations").

The Securities are being issued and sold in connection with the proposed acquisition (the "Acquisition") by the Company of Sierra Wireless, Inc., a Canadian corporation (the "Target"), pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2022 (the "Acquisition Agreement"), by and between the Company, the Target and 13548597 Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions and fund a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition.

The Company and the Guarantors hereby confirm their agreement with the several Initial Purchasers concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:

1. Offering Memorandum and Transaction Information. The Securities will be sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance upon an exemption therefrom. The Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum dated October 6, 2022 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum") and will prepare an offering memorandum dated the date hereof (the "Offering Memorandum") setting forth information concerning the Company, the Guarantors and the Securities. Copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum have been, and copies of the Offering Memorandum will be, delivered by the Company to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this purchase agreement (this "Agreement"). The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the other Time of Sale Information (as defined below) and the Offering Memorandum in connection with the offering and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. References herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any document, or section of any document, incorporated by reference therein and any reference to "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed with

the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") after such date and incorporated by reference therein.

At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the "Time of Sale"), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively, the "Time of Sale Information"): the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto.

2. Purchase and Resale of the Securities. (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Underwritten Notes to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and each Initial Purchaser, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Underwritten Notes set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser's name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 97.0% of the principal amount thereof (the "Purchase Price") plus accrued interest, if any, from October 12, 2022 to the Closing Date (as defined below).

In addition, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Notes to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and the Initial Purchasers, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall have the option to purchase, severally and not jointly, from the Company the Option Notes at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if any, from October 12, 2022 to the date of payment and delivery for such Option Notes.

If any Option Notes are to be purchased, the principal amount of Option Notes to be purchased by each Initial Purchaser shall be the principal amount of Option Notes which bears the same ratio to the aggregate principal amount of Option Notes being purchased as the principal amount of Underwritten Securities set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser in Schedule 1 hereto (or such amount increased as set forth in Section 10 hereof) bears to the aggregate principal amount of Underwritten Securities being purchased from the Company by the several Initial Purchasers, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate Securities in denominations other than $1,000 as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make.

The Initial Purchasers may exercise the option to purchase the Option Notes at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, by written notice from the Representative to the Company; provided that any Additional Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) must occur during the thirteen calendar day period from, and including, the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Such notice shall set forth the aggregate principal amount of Option Notes plus accrued interest as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Option Notes are to be delivered and paid for which, subject to the next sentence, may be the same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than the tenth full business day (as hereinafter defined) after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least one business day prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein.

(b) The Company and the Guarantors understand that the Initial Purchasers intend to offer the Securities for resale on the terms set forth in the Time of Sale Information. Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and agrees that:

(ii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act; and

(iii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities as part of their initial offering except to persons whom it reasonably believes to be QIBs in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and in connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of the Securities is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.

(c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company and the Guarantors and, for purposes of the "no registration" opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 6(f) and 6(g), counsel for the Company and the Guarantors and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in paragraph (b) above, and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

(d) The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser and that any such affiliate may offer and sell Securities purchased by it to or through any Initial Purchaser.

(e) Payment for the Securities shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the Representative in the case of the Underwritten Notes, at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, 10017) at 10:00 A.M. New York City time on October 12, 2022, or at such other time or place on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth business day thereafter, as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing or, in the case of the Option Notes, on the date and at the time and place specified by the Representative in the written notice of the Initial Purchasers' election to purchase such Option Notes (provided that any Additional Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) must occur during the thirteen calendar day period from, and including, the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined)). The time and date of such payment for the Underwritten Notes is referred to herein as the "Closing Date" and the time and

date for such payment for the Option Notes, if other than the Closing Date, is herein referred to as an "Additional Closing Date".

Payment for the Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date or an Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall be made against delivery to the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), for the respective accounts of the several Initial Purchasers of the Securities to be purchased on such date of one or more global notes representing the Securities (collectively, the "Global Note"), with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the sale of such Securities duly paid by the Company. The Global Note will be made available for inspection by the Representative at the office of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC set forth above not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the business day prior to the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be.

(f) The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that each Initial Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Company and the Guarantors with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Guarantors or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser is advising the Company, the Guarantors or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company and the Guarantors shall consult with their own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making their own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or the Guarantors with respect thereto. Any review by the Representative or any Initial Purchaser of the Company, the Guarantors and the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Representative or such Initial Purchaser and shall not be on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or any other person.

(p) No General Solicitation. None of the Company or any of its affiliates or any other person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to which no covenant is given) will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

5. Certain Agreements of the Initial Purchasers. Each Initial Purchaser hereby represents and agrees that it has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any written communication that constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities other than (i) the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, (ii) a written communication that contains no "issuer information" (as defined in Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act) that was not included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum, (iii) any written communication listed on Annex A or prepared pursuant to Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), (iv) any written communication prepared by such Initial Purchaser and approved by the Company in advance in writing or (v) any written communication relating to or that contains the terms of the Securities and/or other information that was included (including through incorporation by reference) in the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum.

No event or condition of a type described in Section 3(g) hereof shall have occurred or shall exist, which event or condition is not described in the Time of Sale Information (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Offering Memorandum (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the effect of which in the judgment of the Representative makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the Closing Date or any Additional

Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

(d) Officer's Certificate.

(e) Comfort Letters. On the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, Deloitte & Touche LLP and Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to the Representative, at the request of the Company, letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to initial purchasers in private offerings with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum; provided, that the letter delivered on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be shall use a "cut-off" date no more than three business days prior to such Closing Date or such Additional Closing Date, as the case may be.

Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, shall have furnished to the Representative, at the request of the Company and the Guarantors, their written opinion and 10b-5 statement, dated the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, and addressed to the Initial Purchasers, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, to the effect set forth in Annex C hereto.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with

any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a "road show") or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, each of their respective directors, their officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information (including any of the other Time of Sale Information that has subsequently been amended), any Issuer Written Communication, any road show or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the following information in the Offering Memorandum furnished on behalf of each Initial Purchaser: the information under the caption "Plan of Distribution" in the third and fourth sentence of the sixth paragraph, the fourth and fifth sentence of the eighth paragraph and the twelfth paragraph, which for the avoidance of doubt relates to price stabilization and short positions.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "Indemnified Person") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the "Indemnifying Person") in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the

Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers and any control persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable

by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and/or the Guarantors or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option Notes, prior to any Additional Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq Global Select Market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

10. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. (a) If, on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes; provided that any such Additional Closing Date must occur during the thirteen calendar day period from, and including, the Closing Date after giving effect to such postponement. As used in this Agreement, the term "Initial Purchaser" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the number of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Initial Purchaser's pro rata share (based on the number of Securities that such Initial Purchaser

agreed to purchase on such date) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase Securities on any Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company or the Guarantors, except that the Company and the Guarantors will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company, the Guarantors or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company's and the Guarantors' counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with any "road show" presentation to potential investors; and (x) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Maximum Number of Underlying Securities on the Exchange.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers (other than by reason of a default by any Initial Purchaser, provided that any non-defaulting Initial Purchasers shall be

reimbursed according to this Section 11(b)) or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers.

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term "affiliate" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term "business day" means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term "subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (d) the term "significant subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

15. Compliance with USA Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Guarantors, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

16. Miscellaneous. (a) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Initial Purchasers shall be given to the Representative c/o J.P.

Ammann, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Officer.

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

(d) Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(ii) In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

The information in this pricing term sheet supplements Semtech Corporation's preliminary offering memorandum, dated October 6, 2022 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum"), and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. In all other respects, this pricing term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, including all other documents incorporated by reference therein.

Sale Price Redemption:	Except as described in "Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption" below, we may not redeem the Notes prior to November 5, 2025. On or after November 5, 2025, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation described below), at our option, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (any such redemption, a "sale price redemption"). If we redeem less than all the outstanding Notes in a sale price redemption, at least $75 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date (the "partial redemption limitation"). See "Description of notes-Optional redemption-Optional redemption on or after November 5, 2025" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Acquisition Non-Occurrence Redemption:	If the Acquisition of Sierra Wireless has not closed as of the close of business on March 3, 2023, or if, before such time, the Arrangement Agreement is terminated or we reasonably determine in good faith that the Acquisition will not be consummated, we may, at our option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes on a redemption date on or prior to July 3, 2023, in cash at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a "premium" (as defined below), if any.

"redemption conversion value" means, with respect to any Acquisition non-occurrence redemption, the sum of the daily conversion values for each trading day in the observation period for such Acquisition non-occurrence redemption. See "Description of notes-Optional redemption-Optional redemption if the Acquisition is not consummated" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Fundamental Change:	If we undergo a "fundamental change" (as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under "Description of notes-Fundamental change permits holders to require us to repurchase notes"), subject to certain conditions and except as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. See "Description of notes-Fundamental change permits holders to require us to repurchase notes" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Book-Running Manager:	J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

Pricing Date:	October 6, 2022.

Trade Date:	October 7, 2022.

Expected Settlement Date:	October 12, 2022 (T+2).

Offering Format:	144A for life.

CUSIP Number (144A):	816850 AE1.

ISIN (144A):	US816850AE12.

Listing:	None.

Use of Proceeds:	We estimate that the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be approximately $290.0 million (or approximately $326.4 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We have entered into convertible note hedge transactions with an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers of the Notes and another financial institution (the "option counterparties"). We have also entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. We intend to use approximately $27.8 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds to us from the sale of the warrant transactions). We expect to use the remainder of the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, together with proceeds from borrowings under the New Term Loan, proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and available cash and cash equivalents, to finance the purchase price for Sierra Wireless and to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the Acquisition. If the Acquisition is not consummated, the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes will be used to either fund a portion of the redemption price for the Notes or for general corporate purposes. See "Use of proceeds" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, we expect to sell additional warrants to the option counterparties and use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Notes, together with the proceeds from the additional warrants, to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions with the option counterparties.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions:

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, we have entered into convertible note hedge transactions with the option counterparties. We have also entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties whereby we have sold to the option counterparties warrants to purchase, subject to customary adjustments, up to the same number of shares of our common stock underlying the Notes, with a strike price of $51.1525 (which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on October 6, 2022), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

Changes from Preliminary Offering Memorandum:

In addition to the information set forth above, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum will be updated to reflect that the aggregate amount of Notes being issued is being upsized from $250,000,000 to $300,000,000 (and other information is deemed to have changed to the extent affected thereby). The table below sets forth the revised estimated sources and uses of funds in connection with the Transactions, assuming they occurred on July 31, 2022 (refer to the corresponding table in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum for additional footnotes and information). Corresponding changes are deemed to be made wherever else applicable in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Description of Notes-Conversion rights-Increase in conversion rate upon conversion upon a make-whole fundamental change or notice of sale price redemption

Holders who convert their Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) occurring prior to the maturity date or convert their Notes called for sale price redemption (or deemed called for sale price redemption) during the related redemption period (as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion as set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption "Description of notes-Conversion rights-Increase in conversion rate upon conversion upon a make-whole fundamental change or notice of sale price redemption."

The following table sets forth the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate will be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each stock price and effective date set forth below:

	Stock price
Effective date	$29.23	$35.00	$37.27	$40.00	$48.45	$60.00	$75.00	$100.00	$125.00	$150.00
October 12, 2022	7.3789	5.0191	4.3574	3.6995	2.3077	1.2827	0.6277	0.1847	0.0350	0.0000
November 1, 2023	7.3789	5.0191	4.3574	3.6763	2.2204	1.1835	0.5491	0.1447	0.0203	0.0000
November 1, 2024	7.3789	5.0191	4.2726	3.5298	2.0252	1.0085	0.4288	0.0927	0.0054	0.0000
November 1, 2025	7.3789	4.7297	3.9157	3.1378	1.6369	0.7190	0.2601	0.0357	0.0000	0.0000
November 1, 2026	7.3789	4.0017	3.1226	2.3235	0.9614	0.3177	0.0816	0.0015	0.0000	0.0000
November 1, 2027	7.3789	1.7389	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

If the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year or 366-day year, as applicable.

·	If the stock price is greater than $150.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

·	If the stock price is less than $29.23 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 34.2114 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption "Description of notes-Conversion rights-Conversion rate adjustments."

Annex C

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

[·], 2022

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

As Representative of the

several Initial Purchasers

referred to below

c/o J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

383 Madison Avenue

New York, New York 10179

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for Semtech Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Purchase Agreement dated [·], 2022 (the "Purchase Agreement") with you and the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 thereto (the "Initial Purchasers"), for whom you are acting as representative (the "Representative"), the Company and the guarantors party thereto (the "Guarantors") under which you and such other Initial Purchasers have agreed to purchase from the Company $[250,000,000] aggregate principal amount of its [·]% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Notes"). [The Notes include [$37,500,000] aggregate principal amount of the Company's [·]% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 to be purchased pursuant to the Initial Purchasers' option to purchase additional Notes provided for by the Purchase Agreement.] The Securities are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture dated as of [·], 2022 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and are convertible on the terms set forth in the Indenture into up to $1,000 cash per $1,000 principal amount of Notes and, with respect to the portion of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Underlying Securities"), of the Company, cash or a combination of cash and Underlying Securities, at the Company's election. The Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Guarantors (the "Guarantees" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities").

We have examined originals or copies of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

We have also participated in the preparation of the preliminary offering memorandum dated [·], 2022 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum") and the final offering memorandum dated [·], 2022, other than the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "Incorporated Documents"), relating to the Securities and have reviewed the Incorporated Documents. The final offering memorandum, including the Incorporated Documents, is hereinafter referred to as the "Final Memorandum." The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, including the Incorporated

Documents, together with the pricing term sheet attached as Annex B to the Purchase Agreement (the "Pricing Term Sheet"), is hereinafter referred to as the "Disclosure Package."

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that (i) all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete, (ii) all documents submitted to us as copies conform to authentic, complete originals, (iii) all documents filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents reviewed by us prior to such formatting, (iv) all signatures on all documents that we reviewed are genuine, (v) all natural persons executing documents had and have the legal capacity to do so, (vi) all statements in certificates of public officials and officers of the Company and the Guarantors that we reviewed were and are accurate and (vii) all representations made by the Company and the Guarantors as to matters of fact in the documents that we reviewed were and are accurate.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the additional assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

The Company and each Guarantor organized under the laws of the State of Delaware or California (each, a "Covered Guarantor") is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware or California, as applicable, and the Company has corporate power and authority to issue the Securities, to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture and to perform its obligations thereunder.

2.	The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Covered Guarantor.

The Notes have been duly authorized and executed by the Company and, when executed by the Trustee and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture pursuant to which such Notes are to be issued; provided that we express no opinion as to (w) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law, (x) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above, (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision in the Notes that requires or relates to adjustments to the conversion rate at a rate or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty

or forfeiture or (z) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Notes to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest.

4.	The Underlying Securities initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes have been duly authorized and reserved and, when issued upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each Covered Guarantor and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each Guarantor other than the Covered Guarantors, the Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability; provided that we express no opinion as to (w) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law, (x) (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) any provision of the Indenture that purports to avoid the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law by limiting the amount of any Guarantor's obligation, (y) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of Section [14.03] of the Indenture or any related provision in the Securities that requires or relates to adjustments to the conversion rate at a rate or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or forfeiture or (z) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Securities to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest.

It is not necessary in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or in connection with the initial resale of such Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Final Memorandum to register the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent offer or resale of any Security or Underlying Security.

7.	Neither the Company nor any Guarantor is, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Final Memorandum will not be, required to register as an "investment

company" as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Indenture, the Notes, and the Purchase Agreement (collectively, and together with the Guarantees, the "Documents") and the execution and delivery by each Guarantor of, and the performance by each Guarantor of its obligations under, the Documents will not contravene (i) any provision of the statutory laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents, or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provided that we express no opinion as to federal or state securities laws, (ii) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any Covered Guarantor, or (iii) any agreement that is specified in Annex A hereto (the "Specified Agreements").

No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency under the laws of the State of New York or any federal law of the United States of America that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Documents, or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company or each Guarantor of its respective obligations under the Documents, except such as may be required under federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph.

We have considered (i) the statements included in the Disclosure Package under the caption "Description of notes," as supplemented by the information set forth in the Pricing Term Sheet, and in the Final Memorandum under the caption "Description of notes," insofar as they summarize provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and (ii) the statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum under the caption "Description of capital stock," insofar as they summarize provisions of the Underlying Securities. In our opinion, such statements fairly summarize these provisions in all material respects. The statements included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum under the caption "Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations," insofar as they purport to describe provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws or legal conclusions with respect thereto, in our opinion are accurate in all material respects.

In rendering the opinions in paragraphs (2) through (5) above, we have assumed that each party to the Documents has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (other than as expressly set forth in paragraph (1) above). In addition, we have assumed that (i) the execution, delivery and performance by each party thereto of each Document to which it is a party, (a) are within its corporate powers, (b) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other

constitutive documents of such party, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and (d) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or any judgment, injunction, order or decree or any agreement or other instrument binding upon such party, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent that we have specifically opined as to such matters with respect to the Company and each Guarantor, and (ii) each Document (other than the Purchase Agreement) is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement of each party thereto (other than as expressly covered above in respect of the Company and each Guarantor).

In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph (6) above, we have assumed the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement relating to the offering and the initial resale of the Securities.

With respect to our opinion in clause (iii) of paragraph (8) above, (i) we express no opinion with respect to a breach or default under the Specified Agreements that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency, (ii) we express no opinion as to compliance with any financial or accounting test, or any limitation or restriction expressed as a dollar (or other currency) amount, ratio or percentage in any Specified Agreement and (iii) we have not reviewed, and express no opinion with respect to, documents other than the Specified Agreements, irrespective of whether they secure, support or otherwise relate to or are referred to in the Specified Agreements.

We are members of the Bars of the States of New York and California, and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the State of California, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, except that we express no opinion as to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company or the Guarantors, the Documents or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to any of the Documents or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

This opinion is rendered solely to you and the other several Initial Purchasers in connection with the Purchase Agreement. This opinion may not be relied upon by you or the other several Initial Purchasers for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person (including any person acquiring Securities from the several Initial Purchasers) or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have participated in the preparation of the preliminary offering memorandum dated [·], 2022 (the "Preliminary Offering Memorandum") and the final offering memorandum dated [·], 2022, other than the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "Incorporated Documents"), relating to the Securities, and have reviewed the Incorporated Documents. The final offering memorandum, including the Incorporated Documents, is hereinafter referred to as the "Final Memorandum." The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, including the Incorporated Documents, together with the pricing term sheet attached as Annex B to the Purchase Agreement (the "Pricing Term Sheet"), is hereinafter referred to as the "Disclosure Package."

We have, without independent inquiry or investigation, assumed that all documents filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system (except for required EDGAR formatting changes) conform to the versions of such documents reviewed by us prior to such formatting.

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or quantitative information. Furthermore, many determinations involved in the preparation of the Final Memorandum and the Disclosure Package are of a wholly or partially non-legal character or relate to legal matters outside the scope of our opinion separately delivered to you today in respect of certain matters under the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. As a result, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Final Memorandum or the Disclosure Package, and we have not ourselves checked the accuracy, completeness or fairness of, or otherwise verified, the information furnished in such documents (except to the extent expressly set forth in our opinion letter separately delivered to you today as to statements included in the Final Memorandum or the Disclosure Package under the captions "Description of notes" (in the case of the Disclosure Package, as supplemented by the information set forth in the Pricing Term Sheet), "Description of capital stock" and "Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations"). However, in the course of our acting as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation of the Final Memorandum and the Disclosure Package, we have generally reviewed and discussed with your representatives and your counsel and with certain officers and employees of, and independent public accountants for, the Company the information furnished, whether or not subject to our check and verification. We have also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

On the basis of the information gained in the course of the performance of the services rendered above, but without independent check or verification except as stated above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

(a)

at 4:30 P.M. New York City time on the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Disclosure Package contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or

(b)	the Final Memorandum as of its date or as of the date hereof contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

In providing this letter to you and the other several Initial Purchasers, we have not been called to pass upon, and we express no view regarding, the financial statements or financial schedules or other financial or accounting data included in the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum. In addition, we express no view as to the conveyance of the Disclosure Package or the information contained therein to investors.

This letter is delivered solely to you and the other several Initial Purchasers in connection with the Purchase Agreement. This letter may not be relied upon by you or the other several Initial Purchasers for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person (including any person acquiring Securities from the several Initial Purchasers) or furnished to any other person without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you, as Representative of the several Initial Purchasers, propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Semtech Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the guarantors listed on Schedule 2 thereto, providing for the purchase and resale (the "Placement") by the several Initial Purchasers named in Schedule 1 to the Purchase Agreement (the "Initial Purchasers"), of Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 of the Company (the "Securities"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In consideration of the Initial Purchasers' agreement to purchase and make the Placement of the Securities, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, during the period beginning on the date of this letter agreement (this "Letter Agreement") and ending at the close of business 45 days after the date of the final offering memorandum relating to the Placement (the "Offering Memorandum"), (such period, the "Restricted Period") (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, $0.01 per share par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock") or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including without limitation, Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange

Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise or settlement of a stock option or warrant, restricted stock units, restricted stock or other equity-based awards) (collectively with the Common Stock, the "Lock-Up Securities"), (2) enter into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Securities, or (4) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing precludes the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the undersigned or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-up Securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may:

(a) transfer the undersigned's Lock-Up Securities:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, or for bona fide estate planning purposes,

(ii) by will or intestacy,

(iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, or if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust (for purposes of this Letter Agreement, "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, current or former marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin),

(iv) to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and the immediate family of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests,

(v) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (iv) above,

(vi) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order, divorce settlement, divorce decree or separation agreement,

(vii) to the Company from an employee of the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such employee,

(viii) as part of a sale of the undersigned's Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the closing date for the Placement,

(ix) to the Company in connection with the vesting, settlement, or exercise of restricted stock units, options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock (including, in each case, by way of "net" or "cashless" exercise), including for the payment of exercise price and tax and remittance payments due as a result of the vesting, settlement, or exercise of such restricted stock units, options, warrants or rights, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement, and provided further that any such restricted stock units, options, warrants or rights are held by the undersigned pursuant to an agreement or equity awards granted under a stock incentive plan or other equity award plan, each such agreement or plan which is described in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum or the documents incorporated by reference therein, or

(x) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and made to all holders of the Company's capital stock involving a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company (for purposes hereof, "Change of Control" shall mean the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons, of shares of capital stock if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold at least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity)); provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction is not completed, the undersigned's Lock-Up Securities shall remain subject to the provisions of this Letter Agreement;

provided that (A) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and each donee, devisee, transferee or distributee shall execute and deliver to the Representative a lock-up letter in the form of this Letter Agreement, (B) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a) (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix), no filing by any party (donor, donee, devisee, transferor, transferee, distributer or distributee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Restricted Period referred to above) and (C) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a)(vii) it shall be a condition to such transfer that no public filing, report or announcement shall be voluntarily made and if any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or other public filing, report or announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock in connection with such transfer or distribution shall be legally required during the Restricted Period, such filing, report or announcement shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature and conditions of such transfer;

(b) exercise outstanding options, settle restricted stock units or other equity awards or exercise warrants pursuant to plans described in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum or the documents incorporated by reference therein; provided that any Lock-up Securities received upon such exercise, vesting or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement;

(c) convert outstanding preferred stock, warrants to acquire preferred stock or convertible securities into shares of Common Stock or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock; provided that any such shares of Common Stock or warrants received upon such conversion shall be subject to the terms of this Letter Agreement; and

(d) establish trading plans pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Lock-Up Securities; provided that (1) such plans do not provide for the transfer of Lock-Up Securities during the Restricted Period and (2) no filing by any party under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required or made voluntarily in connection with such trading plan, in each case during the Restricted Period.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Letter Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Initial Purchasers solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Placement of the Securities and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Representative may be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to you in connection with the Placement, the Representative and the other Initial Purchasers are not making a recommendation to you to enter into this Letter Agreement, and nothing set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that the Representative or any Initial Purchaser is making such a recommendation.

The undersigned understands that, if the Purchase Agreement does not become effective by October 31, 2022, or if the Purchase Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Letter Agreement. The undersigned understands that the Initial Purchasers are entering into the Purchase Agreement and proceeding with the Placement in reliance upon this Letter Agreement.

This Letter Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
