Samsung Chooses a Silicon Labs Product Yet Again

We have written several times about fabless semiconductor maker Silicon Laboratories (SLAB), most recently noting that their largest customer, Samsung, had adopted their latest wireless handset chip. Now it looks as if Samsung has been keeping an eye on many of the company’s products. According to a news release:

Samsung Electronics, the world’s second largest monochrome laser printer manufacturer, and Silicon Laboratories, Inc., a leader in high-performance, analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, announced today that Samsung selected Silicon Laboratories’ Si2435 Fax ISOmodem solution for its fax products.

We aren’t sure whether this is the first time Samsung has used Silicon Laboratories chips for products other than cell phones, but either way the selection helps SLAB dig deeper into the relationship and diversify its product base, if not its customer base.
