　　自2016年以來，瑞薩電子一直在實行公司的發展戰略，促進公司在全球市場的蓬勃發展，成為全球領先的嵌入式解決方案供應商。作為計劃的一部分，瑞薩電子正在努力擴大模擬解決方案陣容，并加強解決方案產品配套，包括MCU、SoC和模擬混合信號產品。 公司發展戰略的實行將以重點領域的收入增長為基礎：汽車領域，預計自動駕駛汽車和電動車/混合動力車具有巨大增長潛力；產業和基礎設施領域，預計工業4.0和5G（第五代）無線通信，以及快速增長的物聯網 (IoT) 領域將進一步發展。瑞薩電子認為，擴張并購是實現這一發展戰略、推動公司進一步增長的關鍵因素。在2017年2月完成對英特矽爾公司（Intersil）的收購之后，瑞薩電子的產品組合增加了業界領先的電源管理和精密模擬功能。整合的解決方案將在重點業務領域為瑞薩電子帶來令人期待的商機。今天宣布的交易也將進一步加速瑞薩電子成長戰略，帶來巨大的戰略和經濟效益，包括：

　　l互補的產品擴展了瑞薩電子的解決方案供給

　　此次收購將為瑞薩電子嵌入式系統提供豐富的模擬混合信號產品，包括射頻、先進定時、存儲接口及電源管理、光互聯、無線電源及智能感應。這些產品線與瑞薩電子先進的MCU、SoC以及電源管理IC結合，使瑞薩電子能夠提供綜合全面的解決方案，支持高性能數據處理日益增長的需求。豐富的解決方案供給涵蓋了外部傳感器、模擬前端、處理器和接口，將為用戶提供最優化的系統。

　　l增加業務增長機遇

　　IDT的數據傳感、存儲和互聯模擬混合信號產品是支持數據經濟增長主要部件。通過收購有助于瑞薩電子將業務領域擴展到快速增長的數據經濟相關應用，包括數據中心和通信基礎設施，并加強其在產業和汽車市場的影響力。

　　l加速管理和運營全球化

　　收購Intersil帶來的多樣化人才和管理能力加快了瑞薩電子的全球化運營。今天宣布的交易將進一步加強瑞薩電子落實全球化戰略的能力。

　　l顯著的經濟效益

　　瑞薩電子株式會社代表董事、總裁兼首席執行官吳文精表示，“本次收購不僅將為我們帶來市場領先的模擬混合信號產品擴展我們現有產品線，而且還將帶來優秀的專業人才，提高瑞薩電子嵌入式解決方案的性能。IDT的產品與我們的MCU、SoC和電源管理IC相結合，將豐富瑞薩電子的產品供應并將我們的業務擴展至新的領域，例如不斷增長的數據經濟相關領域。”
