Analog Devices announced the completion of its acquisition of Empower Semiconductor. The transaction strengthens ADI’s position as a strategic, system-level grid-to-core power partner across the AI ecosystem.
The combination expands ADI’s total addressable market and capabilities in AI compute power delivery. ADI said the acquisition is intended to help address one of the most complex challenges in modern electronics: delivering power efficiently for AI-era infrastructure.
Empower Semiconductor’s technology is designed to improve efficiency and performance for AI processors. ADI said the acquisition will help customers rearchitect power systems and support the compute densities required by next-generation AI systems.
The company also noted that the impact of the technology could extend beyond AI data centers. ADI said the capabilities may apply to any domain where energy constraints limit what is possible.
Analog Devices is a global semiconductor company focused on bridging the physical and digital worlds. The company combines analog, digital, AI, and software technologies across areas including automation, robotics, mobility, healthcare, energy, and data centers.
ADI reported revenue of more than $11 billion in fiscal year 2025.
KEY QUOTE:
“Today marks an exciting milestone as we welcome the Empower team to ADI and take an important step forward in solving one of the most complex challenges in modern electronics – power delivery for the AI era. AI infrastructure is fundamentally reshaping how power must be delivered, with energy now one of the most persistent constraints to scaling next-generation systems. Empower’s breakthrough technology is designed to directly address this bottleneck, unlocking new levels of efficiency and performance for AI processors. Leveraging ADI’s technology and scale, we will help customers rearchitect their power systems and achieve the compute densities next-generation AI demands. The impact will extend well beyond AI data centers to any domain where energy constrains what is possible.”
