ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not Applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not Applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Page 2
The Registrant's Second Amended and Restated By-laws include provisions for mandatory indemnification of its directors, officers, employees or agents provided certain conditions are met. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation in non-derivative suits if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, as determined in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be provided if the party in question is successful on the merits or otherwise. The effect of these provisions would be to permit such indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to the extent permitted under such act. The Registrant has directors' and officers' liability insurance. ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not Applicable. ITEM 8. EXHIBITS. Number Description - ------ ----------- 5 Legal Opinion of Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, LLP. 23(a) Consent of Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, LLP (contained in Exhibit 5 hereof). 23(b) Consent of KPMG LLP. 24 Power of Attorney (included on the signature page of this Registration Statement). 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 to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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. (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 offering. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the 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 Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Dear Sir or Madam: Reference is made to the above-captioned Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed by Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") on or about the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an aggregate of 1,880,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.25 per share, of the Company issuable pursuant to the Plan (the "Shares"). We have examined, are familiar with, and have relied as to factual matters solely upon, copies of the Plan, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Company's Second Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended, the minute books and stock records of the Company, and originals or certified copies of such other certificates, documents, records and materials as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. Very truly yours, /s/ TESTA, HURWITZ & THIBEAULT, LLP
