Silicon Labs completes purchase of Cygnal

Silicon Laboratories Inc. has completed the acquisition of privately held Cygnal Integrated Products, a provider of analog-intensive 8-bit microcontrollers. Cygnal's portfolio of more than 50 general-purpose products is expected to enhance Silicon Laboratories' existing product line of application-specific mixed-signal ICs.

"This acquisition allows Silicon Laboratories to address the intersection between the 8-bit MCU market and the high-performance analog market," said Dan Artusi, president and COO of Silicon Laboratories. "With a synergistic sales channel and supply chain, we intend to hit the ground running with the newest addition to Silicon Labs broadening product portfolio."

Cygnal will be relocated to Silicon Laboratories' facilities in Austin before year-end, and its products will be sold under the Silicon Laboratories name. Silicon Laboratories will continue to support and invest in Cygnal's complete portfolio of MCU products.
