@0h00000000 At first I was surprised, but then I realised that Silan and Silicon Labs are not the same company!

@0h00000000 @whitequark One step closer to The Semiconductor Company!

@tom_verbeure @0h00000000 @whitequark I've joked for years that TSMC will stand for The Semiconductor Manufacturing Company soon

@0h00000000 But all the SiLabs parts I use are already Skyworks (except the CP2102 I guess).

@AMS Yeah, rhese things take a long time to come together, and I have to wonder if the Skyworks sale was part of the overall all plan.

I use one of the SiLabs BLE parts, super simple to just do advertisements. I didn't like their combo BLE/WiFi part, but... I have a TI dual band Wifi/BLE part on my new board.
