$23m for Silicon Labs in Texas
Silicon Labs has been awarded a $23 million grant for a new R&D lab in Austin, Texas.
The funding comes from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) established by the Texas CHIPS Act. This comes as the Trump administration is looking to cancel grants made under the US CHIPS and Science Act agreed under the previous Biden administration.
The funding will be used for the build-out and design of the Series 3 wireless platform. This is a 22nm wireless multi-radio platform with a common code base and memory options for future proofing and backwards compatibility with the Series 2.
“As a Texas-born company and global IoT wireless leader, Silicon Labs is committed to driving innovation, fostering economic growth, and developing a talented workforce in the state,” said Matt Johnson , CEO and president of Silicon Labs. “The Texas CHIPS Act funding will empower us to accelerate wireless chip design, create transformative technologies, and strengthen Texas’ leadership in the semiconductor industry.”
