Silicon Labs Team,

I want to begin by saying how much I respect what you have built at Silicon Labs. Your team has earned a strong reputation because of your technical expertise, winning spirit and impressive results. It is clear that Silicon Labs’ success is powered by exceptional people, and it will be a privilege to shape the next chapter alongside you.

Together, we will create a global leader in embedded wireless connectivity solutions – combining Silicon Labs’ portfolio and expertise in mixed-signal solutions with Texas Instruments’ leading analog and embedded processing portfolio and our internally owned technology and manufacturing capabilities. Working together expands our ability to serve customers worldwide, delivering greater scale, deeper end market expertise and enhanced value and support.

What’s also important is how we achieve these results, and I believe that starts with the culture we create. Our two teams share common values and ethical principles that define who we are and how we behave. We are both driven by our love of solving customer challenges, innovating, engineering excellence and delivering cutting-edge technologies to customers. Above all, we are both committed to bringing out the best in our people and our communities.

I will be in Austin on Friday morning to visit with the team locally and around the world and am looking forward to meeting many of you and hearing from you then. You may have questions on what it’s like to be a TIer and the integration process. Having joined Texas Instruments from an acquisition earlier in my career, I can tell you that TI has been a welcoming work environment and great place to grow a career, filled with challenging and meaningful work. Our culture is anchored in doing what you love, making an impact and continuously growing. We are eager to share this with you.

- Haviv
