NXP wins Samsung mobile phone design-in, says report
LONDON — Dutch chip company NXP BV is set to begin supplying South Korean consumer giant Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. with an integrated circuit for inclusion in low-cost mobile phones in the fourth quarter, according to a Reuters article that referenced Frans van Houten, CEO of NXP, as its source.
NXP's ability to put most of the circuitry for a mobile phone is based on a deal it conducted earlier this year to acquire business lines from Silicon Laboratories Inc. for about $285 million.
NXP (Eindhoven, Netherlands) acquired the Aerofone single-chip phone and power amplifier product lines. The operations being acquired, including RF CMOS based transceivers and cell phone system chips, generated sales of approximately $176 million in 2006.
"The first single-chip solution is shipping in Q4. Samsung is a customer," the Reuters report quoted van Houten as saying in an interview at the Internationale Funkaustellung (IFA) consumer electronics trade fair in Berlin.
