Item  5.  Other  Events

On  Thursday,  September  28, 2000, the Board of Directors of Cirrus Logic, Inc.
voted  in  favor of adding Dr. Harold J. Ravech , president of Stevens Institute
of  Technology,  as  a member of the Board of Directors.  His appointment brings
the company's director total to eight board members, filling the spot previously
vacated  by  Dr.  C.  Gordon  Bell  of  Microsoft  Corporation.

Dr.  Ravech  leads  Stevens  Institute  of Technology in its strategic direction
called  Technogenesis,  which  is  the  educational  frontier  wherein  faculty,
students  and  colleagues  in  business and industry jointly nurture technology,
from  conception  and  design,  to  marketplace  realization.

Prior  to  his  Stevens  Institute  position,  he  was  the  Dean  of Science at
Rensselaer  Polytechnic  Institute,  responsible  for  their  comprehensive,
multimillion  dollar  Science  Initiatives Program. He was founding chief of the
Thermophysics  Division  at  the  National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST)  in  Washington,  D.C.,  and  worked  there  for 17 years in research and
technology  management  positions.

A  graduate of Hofstra University and the University of California at San Diego,
Dr.  Ravech  has  won  numerous  awards  and  honors,  including  Distinguished
Scientist  of  the  Year  from  the  Maryland  Academy  of  Sciences,  the Equal
Opportunity Award from the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the New Jersey Pride
Award  in  Education.
