Texas Instruments (TI) and Silicon Labs have entered into an agreement that will see TI acquiring the intelligent wireless technology maker for about $7.5 billion.
Under the deal, Silicon Lab’s mixed signal embedded portfolio will be combined with TI’s analog and embedded processing capabilities.
"The acquisition of Silicon Labs is a significant milestone that strengthens our long-term embedded processing strategy,” said Haviv Ilan, chairman, president and CEO of TI. “Silicon Labs' leading embedded wireless connectivity portfolio enhances our technology and IP, enabling greater scale and allowing us to better serve our customers. Texas Instruments' industry-leading and internally owned technology and manufacturing is optimized for Silicon Labs' portfolio, and will provide customers dependable supply worldwide.”
The combined company will focus on embedded wireless connectivity products and will add 1,200 products to TI’s portfolio including a variety of wireless connectivity standards and protocols.
The transaction will also reshore Silicon Labs’ manufacturing from external foundries by using TI’s internally owned fabs. TI’s manufacturing footprint includes 300 mm wafer fabs in the U.S. as well as internal assembly and test capabilities.
In December of 2025, TI started production of its newest 300 mm chip fab in Sherman, Texas, called SM1.
TI expects to fund the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing with the transaction closing in the first half of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
