Based on a mutual respect for one another’s talents, Nav Sooch, Jeff Scott and Dave Welland become friends. At an after-work happy hour, they discuss the pros and cons of starting their own company. Dave suggests they toss a coin—heads they strike out on their own, tails they don’t. Heads it is, and Silicon Labs is born. When asked what they would’ve done if it came up tails, they said, “We would’ve gone two out of three.”
Our solution allows a single modem to work worldwide, cost half as much as competitors’ products and uses one-fifth the circuit board space. In November, we ship our 1 millionth DAA unit, transitioning from prototype to profitability in just two years.
Our core design team creates the world’s first CMOS radio-frequency (RF) synthesizer for cell phones. We realize that redesigning the RF in CMOS could make mobile phones easier and cheaper to produce. By squeezing nearly 80 components onto a single chip, handset makers are able to save valuable space.
In March 2000, we raise $99M with an initial public offering—listed on the NASDAQ as SLAB—and our valuation hits $1.2B. Shares nearly triple in the following months, enabling us to repay our venture capital investors.
Our acquisition of Cygnal Integrated Products significantly strengthens our participation in channel sales and opens the door to the multi-billion-dollar, 8-bit MCU market, making it possible for us to provide customers with design flexibility, improved time-to-market and superior system performance.
In 2005, we launch our FM tuner product line that enables customers to easily add FM radio functionality to handsets. This single-chip solution is such a success that it becomes the fastest-ramping product in our history. Now that’s something to sing about.
The Si2170 debuts as the first single-chip hybrid TV tuner. By eliminating more than 100 discrete components while enabling TV makers to improve picture quality and reception for both analog and digital broadcasts, our tuners achieve what our competitors had been trying to accomplish for more than a decade.
By 2011, timing emerges as a key product area and grows to a $50M business as we increase our penetration with leading communications equipment providers. We introduce a series of breakthrough products, including programmable and crystal-less oscillators and an entire family of frequency-flexible clocks and buffers that reduce our customers’ lead times and provide improved reliability, energy efficiency and performance.
Tyson Tuttle is named President and CEO and spearheads our focus on developing innovative solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT).
We introduce next-generation EFM32 MCU families, providing advancements in security and energy management technologies, and the EFM8 family, delivering the highest analog performance and peripheral integration in the 8-bit market.
We make it easy for for developers of all skill levels to create cloud-connected wireless sensing products for the IoT with our Thunderboard Sense development kit.
We release dynamic multiprotocol software for our Wireless Gecko portfolio, a first-of-its-kind solution with real-time operating system (RTOS) scheduling, enabling simultaneous operation of Zigbee and Bluetooth low energy on a single SoC.
With the acquisition of Sigma Designs, we launch the next-generation Z-Wave® 700 on the Wireless Gecko platform, improving energy efficiency and adding longer range RF capabilities. Matt Johnson joins us as Vice President of IoT.
We launch BG22, an industry-leading Bluetooth system-on-chip (SoC) solution delivering a market-leading combination of security features, wireless performance, energy efficiency, and software tools and stacks to meet demand for high-volume, battery-powered IoT products.
Our products with Secure Vault technology achieve Gold in the 2020 LEAP Awards and are the first system-on-a-chip (SoC) and module with a radio to earn PSA Level 2 security certification.
We help customers build connected devices that measurably solve global development challenges, including energy efficiency, economic growth, better health, infrastructure innovation, sustainable cities, responsible production, etc. We are committed to being a good corporate citizen by focusing on operational excellence and sustainability and providing support for people and communities globally.
