Analog Devices Inc. on Wednesday said its board approved an increase to the company's share buyback program of $8.5 billion.

With the increase, the company's buyback authorization is now about $10 billion, Analog Devices said.

The company said it expects to fund repurchases through cash from operation and from cash from the closing of the Maxim Integrated acquisition.

Vincent Roche, the company's president and chief executive, said "Today's announcement to significantly expand our share repurchase program reflects the strength of our balance sheet and our ability to generate robust cash flow."

The semiconductor company has a market cap of $61.07 billion, 368.21 million shares outstanding and a public float of 367.04 million shares.
