The acquisition is set to bolster Onsemi's footprint in physical AI and edge computing, expanding its total addressable market by $30 billion to reach $243 billion by 2030.
A Strategic Bet on Edge AI and IoT
Onsemi (On Semiconductor), the Arizona-based chipmaker specializing in power and sensing products, has agreed to acquire Synaptics in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $7 billion, as the company moves to deepen its presence in the physical artificial intelligence space.
Under the terms of the deal, Synaptics shareholders will receive 1.350 shares of Onsemi stock for each share of Synaptics they hold. The two companies expect the transaction to close by mid-2027, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
What Synaptics Brings to the Table
Synaptics, a U.S. chip company, develops processors, microcontrollers, sensing chips, and wireless chips for IoT devices—capabilities that will bring meaningful computing power to Onsemi's existing portfolio. The company is at the forefront of delivering edge AI solutions for IoT devices, leveraging a broad range of connectivity technologies including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, Thread, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and GPS.
The strategic fit is underscored by Synaptics' recent financial momentum: the company's latest quarterly earnings revealed that revenue from its core IoT products grew 53% year-over-year, reflecting strong and accelerating demand for edge AI silicon.
Market Expansion and Board Changes
Onsemi stated that the acquisition will significantly expand its systems product portfolio. By 2030, the deal is expected to increase the company's total addressable market by $30 billion, bringing it to $243 billion.
As part of the transaction, one Synaptics board member will join the Onsemi board of directors following the close of the deal.
