In 2009, Skyworks Solutions Inc. took over Axiom Microdevices Inc., a company that provides CMOS-based mobile phone power amplifiers, for an undisclosed amount.[2] On October 5, 2015, Skyworks Solutions entered a definitive agreement to acquire PMC-Sierra for $2 billion in cash. However, Skyworks walked away from the deal, having been outbid by Microsemi.[3] In 2018, Skyworks purchased Avnera for US$405 million.[4] On April 22, 2021, Skyworks Solutions entered into a definitive agreement with Silicon Labs to acquire their Infrastructure & Automotive business for $2.75 billion.[5][6] Mobile products comprised about 60% of total revenue, while Broad Markets products comprised 40% of total revenue from non-mobile markets like automotive, infrastructure and industrial.[4]
