Texas Instruments to buy Silicon Labs for $7.5B, forming an embedded wireless leader

TI and Silicon Labs combine to build embedded wireless leader

Manufacturing Scale and Integrated Wireless Portfolio

Texas Instruments announces a definitive agreement to acquire Silicon Labs in an all-cash deal that values the target at roughly $7.5 billion, paying $231.00 per share. The companies say the transaction, announced from Dallas and Austin on Feb. 4, 2026, is designed to create a global leader in embedded wireless connectivity by pairing Silicon Labs’ radio-frequency, Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, Thread, Zigbee and mixed-signal expertise with Texas Instruments’ analog and embedded processing portfolio and internally owned manufacturing and technology.

TI positions the deal as a way to accelerate growth by leveraging its low-cost, dependable wafer fabrication, testing and logistics to provide worldwide supply and cross-sell opportunities. Management forecasts about $450 million of annual manufacturing and operational synergies within three years of close, and says combining the firms’ product sets will deepen customer engagement and expand market access across automotive, industrial, consumer and IoT segments.

Executives stress the integration preserves engineering autonomy and accelerates product roadmaps while expanding technology and IP scale. TI chairman, president and CEO Haviv Ilan says the acquisition strengthens the company’s long-term embedded processing strategy and positions the combined group to deliver sustained value creation; Silicon Labs president and CEO Matt Johnson highlights the decade of double-digit growth driven by demand for connected devices and notes a cultural and Texas heritage fit between the companies.

Customer Reliability and Roadmap Continuity

The companies say the transaction targets stronger margins, revenue growth and improved service reliability for customers by marrying Silicon Labs’ connected-device IP and software stacks with TI’s analog chips and manufacturing depth. Management presents the combination as aimed at reducing supply-chain risk for customers that increasingly require integrated radio and mixed-signal solutions with consistent global availability.

Industry positioning and next steps

The deal places Texas Instruments closer to a leadership position in embedded wireless solutions at a time of rising connectivity demand across industrial and automotive markets. The companies are preparing integration plans and regulatory steps, and say they will focus on executing product roadmaps and realizing the projected operational efficiencies after close.
