Plano-based ENGIN-IC has been acquired by Lowell, Massachusetts-based MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, a supplier of semiconductor products.
ENGIN-IC is a fabless semiconductor company that designs advanced Gallium Nitride monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and integrated microwave assemblies. The company also has a location in San Diego, California.
MACOM said it expects that ENGIN-IC’s design capabilities will strengthen MACOM’s ability to serve its target markets and gain market share.
“MACOM’s talented team and growth strategies align well with ENGIN-IC’s strengths, and we look forward to all that we can accomplish together,” Stephen Nelson, ENGIN-IC co-founder and chief technology officer, said in a statement. “We’re excited to be a part of MACOM’s efforts to lead the industry in GaN semiconductor processes and products.”
While terms of the deal were not disclosed, MACOM said the transaction was funded with cash-on-hand and is expected to have an immaterial impact to MACOM’s near-term financial performance.
