Makes low-power wireless and IoT microcontroller chips for smart-home, industrial and commercial IoT devices.
Designs chips but has others make them, and sells mainly through distributors to makers of connected devices, whose designs then run for years, so each design win turns into steady chip orders. It sold its infrastructure and automotive units to Skyworks in 2021 and now concentrates on IoT, a market of many small customers.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, installed base). Broad multi-protocol wireless IoT portfolio and developer ecosystem, though IoT semis are fragmented and competitive.
