The original shortage of automotive chips appeared to be a warning of oversupply.
The U.S. semiconductor industry has proven especially sensitive to trade and market issues with
regard to China. From the largest to smallest, chipmakers have not been able to avoid the
impact of China's slowing economy or of the simmering trade tensions.
The deal brings together the No. 2 and No. 3 players in the market for standard analog chips,
giving it a broader range of technologies to take to its battle with analog semiconductor leader
Texas Instruments.
