Onsemi, an intelligent power and sensing semiconductor company, has agreed to acquire Synaptics in a $7 billion deal to strengthen its presence in the physical artificial intelligence (AI) and edge AI domains. <\/p>\n
The transaction value represents an approximately 19% premium to the volume-weighted average closing prices of Onsemi and Synaptics over the last 10 trading days, according to a joint statement released on Thursday. <\/p>\n
The transaction is expected to close in mid-2027, subject to approval by Synaptics stockholders, required regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions. <\/p>\n
As part of the transaction, one member of the Synaptics board is expected to join Onsemi\u2019s board. <\/p>\n
\u201cBy adding Synaptics\u2019 differentiated Edge AI compute franchise and strong portfolio of human-machine interface and wireless connectivity solutions, Onsemi is expected to extend its capabilities beyond power and sensing to intelligent systems,\u201d Onsemi said.<\/p>\n
The company estimates that the combined platform can potentially expand Onsemi\u2019s total addressable market (TAM) by $30 billion to $243 billion by 2030. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis shift towards physical AI will require power, sense, connected compute, and control to work together seamlessly,\u201d said Hassane El-Khoury, president & CEO of Onsemi. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe addition of Synaptics helps position Onsemi at the intersection of these four pillars, enabling us to capture a significantly larger AI opportunity that extends beyond AI data center and into edge applications,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s announcement marks an important step in accelerating Synaptics\u2019 growth and leadership in edge AI and physical AI,\u201d said Rahul Patel, president & CEO, Synaptics. <\/p>\n
Patel added that Synaptics will combine strengths in AI-native compute, connectivity, and human-machine interface with Onsemi\u2019s leadership in intelligent power and sensing to \u201coffer customers integrated solutions and development platforms across every layer of the edge AI stack\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
