Updated

Overview

Silicon Laboratories Inc. is a semiconductor company focused on analog-intensive, mixed-signal integrated circuits and wireless technologies for the Internet of Things (IoT). Its products include wireless connectivity platforms, ICs, modules, microcontrollers and systems-on-chip, supporting technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread and Wi-SUN for industrial, commercial, home and life applications.[1]

The company describes its purpose as advancing secure, intelligent wireless technology for a more connected world. Its operations and offices support customers across Asia, the Americas and Europe; 91% of fiscal 2025 revenue came from outside the United States.[3][4] In fiscal 2025, ended January 3, 2026, Silicon Labs reported revenue of $784.8 million and had 1,930 employees at year-end.[5][6] [1]

Products & services

Silicon Laboratories’ product portfolio includes microcontrollers, wireless microcontrollers, systems-on-chip (SoCs), chipsets, and modules for connected devices. Named MCU families include EFM32, EFM8, and 8051; the portfolio spans 8-bit mixed-signal devices and low-power 32-bit MCUs using ARM Cortex-M0+, M3, M4, and M33 cores. Wireless products support protocols including Bluetooth, sub-GHz, Wi-SUN, Thread, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave.[1]

The Series 3 platform includes the SiMG301 multiprotocol SoC, which supports Bluetooth, Matter, Thread, and Zigbee. Its listed specifications include a 150-MHz Cortex-M33 processor, up to 4 MB of flash and 512 KB of RAM, and Secure Vault PSA Certified Level 4; a device configuration lists −106.3 dBm receive sensitivity and +10 dBm output power.[2] Wireless modules cover Bluetooth, sub-GHz, Thread, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave, and are designed to provide pre-certified connectivity options and help reduce development time and cost.[14]

Products address industrial and commercial applications such as automation, metering, street lighting, smart buildings, access control, and asset tracking, as well as home and life applications including smart-home cameras, locks, lighting, HVAC, appliances, sensors, security systems, and connected-health devices.[15][16] Developer and customer-support offerings include Simplicity Studio design tools, documentation, software, and support resources, as well as applications-engineering assistance. The company also announced the Simplicity Platform, including Simplicity Studio 6 and the Simplicity AI SDK.[17]

The company reports one operating segment and does not provide product-family or end-market percentages of revenue in the cited disclosures.[21][22] [1]

Geographic presence

In FY2025, Silicon Laboratories reported $784.8 million in revenue by shipped-to location: $68.5 million from the United States (8.7%), $257.1 million from China (32.8%), $130.5 million from Taiwan (16.6%), and $328.6 million from the rest of the world (41.9%). The company said 91% of FY2025 revenue was generated outside the United States; it separately estimated that end customers in China accounted for 15% of revenue, compared with 33% attributed to China by shipment destination.[23]

For the six months ended July 4, 2026, shipped-to revenue was $441.7 million: $44.0 million from the United States (10.0%), $137.1 million from China (31.0%), $90.3 million from Taiwan (20.4%), and $170.3 million from the rest of the world (38.6%). The company reported 90% of interim revenue outside the United States and estimated that China-based end customers accounted for 19% of revenue, versus 31% by shipped-to location.[25]

Austin, Texas is the corporate headquarters and includes engineering, sales and marketing, administrative, and test operations. The company also leases smaller facilities in the United States, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom; these support engineering, sales and marketing, administration, and manufacturing support. Singapore is described as the headquarters for non-U.S. operations.[28][29]

Silicon Laboratories describes its manufacturing model as fabless. Most of its foundries and several assembly and test subcontractor sites are in Taiwan, while most of its other foundry, assembly, and test subcontractors are in the Pacific Rim. The company reported 1,930 employees as of January 3, 2026; the cited filing does not provide a geographic employee breakdown.[30][31] [23]

Business segments

Silicon Laboratories reports one operating and reportable segment, “mixed-signal analog intensive products,” rather than separate reportable business segments. Its latest annual filing, for FY2025, and its Q2 2026 filing retain this single-segment presentation.[21][32]

The company also presents revenue by two product-market categories, which are not identified as reportable segments. In FY2025, Industrial & Commercial revenue was approximately $445 million, or 56.7% of total revenue of $785 million; this category serves markets including industrial automation and control, smart metering and lighting, commercial buildings, asset tracking, and smart retail.[33] Home & Life revenue was approximately $340 million, or 43.3% of total revenue, covering smart-home connectivity and security, appliances, and connected-health applications.[36] Percentages are calculated from the reported, rounded revenue amounts.

Company history

Silicon Laboratories was founded in 1996 by Nav Sooch, Dave Welland and Jeff Scott. Its early product work included modem-interface and RF technologies, and the company completed its Nasdaq IPO in March 2000.[37][38]

From 2012 to 2020, a series of acquisitions expanded the company’s low-power wireless, microcontroller and IoT connectivity capabilities. These included Ember in 2012, Energy Micro in 2013, Bluegiga in 2015, Zentri in 2017, and Redpine Signals’ connectivity business in 2020.[39]

In 2021, Silicon Labs agreed to sell its Infrastructure & Automotive business to Skyworks; the sale closed that July, marking a strategic refocus on IoT wireless connectivity. Matt Johnson succeeded Tyson Tuttle as CEO at the beginning of 2022.[44] In February 2026, Texas Instruments announced an agreement to acquire Silicon Labs; the announcement described a proposed transaction.[47] [37]
