SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Semtech Corporation, Common Stock, $.01 Par Value) 
File No. 1-6395

April 20, 1995.
    The Semtech Corporation (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, its Board of Directors unanimously 
approved resolutions on March 2, 1995 to withdraw the Security from 
listing on the Amex and, instead, list the Security on the Nasdaq/NMS. 
The decision of the Board followed a lengthy study of the matter, and 
was based upon the belief that listing of the Security on the Nasdaq/
NMS will be more beneficial to its stockholders than the present 
listing on the Amex because:
    (a) The support of Market Makers on the Nasdaq (as compared to the 
activities of the AMEX specialist) and the potential for research 
coverage and other financial services will be advantageous;
    (b) The greater visibility of the Nasdaq with various media 
coverage will be advantageous;
    (c) The potential for the Company to be promoted as a growth-
oriented, diversified company is enhanced on the Nasdaq, given the 
Nasdaq's history;
    (d) There is potentially more capital support for the Company in 
the Nasdaq given the Market Maker's responsibilities; and
    (e) The services the Nasdaq offers that have been reviewed are more 
likely to assist the Company in communicating with shareholders and 
understanding the market.
    Any interested person may, on or before May 11, 1995, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Amex 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
