Recently, NXP Semiconductors has announced the completion of its acquisitions of Aviva Links and Kinara. This marks a significant strategic move for NXP in the automotive and industrial IoT sectors.

Acquisition of Aviva Links: Enhancing Automotive Connectivity Solutions

On October 24, 2025, NXP completed the acquisition of Aviva Links for $243 million in cash (excluding acquisition adjustments). Aviva Links is a provider of automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) standard-based automotive connectivity solutions. The company has in-depth expertise in automotive high-speed serial deserializer (SerDes) technology. Its technology enables high-speed data transmission within vehicles, which is crucial for the development of autonomous driving and smart connected cars.

The acquisition of Aviva Links further enriches and expands NXP's automotive networking solutions in the automotive and industrial IoT end markets. By integrating Aviva Links' technology, NXP is able to offer more comprehensive automotive connectivity solutions to automakers, including high-speed data transmission, video and audio signal processing, etc. This not only enhances NXP's competitiveness in the automotive networking field but also provides a more solid technical foundation for its layout in intelligent transportation systems.

Acquisition of Kinara: Perfecting AI Edge System Solutions

On October 27, 2025, NXP completed the acquisition of Kinara for $307 million in cash (excluding acquisition adjustments). Kinara is a leader in the field of high-performance, low-power, and programmable discrete neural processing units (NPUs). Kinara's NPU technology performs well in processing complex neural network tasks, capable of efficiently handling large amounts of data while maintaining low power consumption.

This will further perfect and expand NXP's AI edge system solutions in the industrial IoT and automotive end markets. With the widespread application of AI technology in the automotive and industrial fields, the demand for high-performance, low-power AI processing units is increasing. Kinara's technology will enable NXP to better meet this demand and provide customers with smarter and more efficient AI edge computing solutions. This will not only help enhance NXP's market position in the AI field but also provide stronger technical support for its applications in smart factories, intelligent transportation, and other areas.

Future Outlook

Through the acquisitions of Aviva Links and Kinara, NXP will be able to integrate the advanced technologies of both companies, further enhancing its technical strength in the automotive and industrial IoT fields. The automotive connectivity technology of Aviva Links and the high-performance NPU technology of Kinara will bring new opportunities for innovation to NXP, enabling it to develop more competitive products and solutions. This will help NXP maintain its leading position in the global technology market and lay a solid foundation for future innovation and development.
