Analog Devices擬收購Alif Semiconductor，導入AI原生處理平台，推動因應下一代現實世界系統的實體智慧發展

Alif正憑藉一個由高能效AI原生微控制器與融合處理器構成的精密平台重新定義邊緣智慧。平台採用異構架構，支援即時感測器融合、低時延推理和端側AI，為各類具有嚴苛要求的實體系統注入高階智慧。

將ADI在感知、訊號處理、電源、連接及應用軟體領域的優勢與Alif前緣數位平台相結合，有助於加速推出更完備的實體智慧解決方案。ADI與Alif的攜手，將協助客戶因應更廣泛、更複雜的系統級挑戰。

高階主管評論

ADI執行長暨董事會主席Vincent Roche表示：「AI正從資料中心走向實體世界，而在實體世界中，時延、功耗與可信度均不容妥協。這恰好是ADI數十年來深耕的領域，在微妙的電物理介面處，現實世界的訊號在此轉化為可執行的智慧。透過將Alif的數位文書處理能力與ADI在多模態感知、訊號處理、電源、連接及軟體領域的優勢相結合，我們將協助客戶打造全新一代安全、智慧的系統，以具備即時本地感知、推理與執行能力。這代表了AI發展的下一前緣：具身化與確定性，這就是實體智慧的實際展現。」

Alif共同創辦人暨總裁Reza Kazerounian表示：「Alif自創立之初，便致力於重塑AI時代的微控制器。我們從一開始便採用異構架構設計，將專用低功耗神經處理與連接、安全及智慧電源管理相結合，確保算力資源精準分配至所需之處。結合ADI在實體世界的深厚積累與廣泛的類比系統能力，我們將進一步拓展業務範圍及解決方案，共同為實體智慧的未來賦能。」

Alif的晶片已實現量產出貨，並已獲得多家領導級消費性電子及工業客戶採用。

交易詳情

根據雙方董事會已批准的協定條款，ADI將向Alif股東支付13.5億美元的前期現金對價，具體以最終協定條款為準。此外，ADI還可能支付最高2億美元的額外或有對價。該交易預計將於2026年底前完成，具體取決於慣常的交割條件，以及修訂版《1976年哈特-斯科特-羅迪諾反壟斷改進法案》(Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976) 規定的適用等待期（及其任何延期期限）屆滿。
