Texas Instruments on Wednesday agreed to buy Silicon Laboratories, an Austin, Texas-based chipmaker with a particular focus on the Internet of Things, for $7.5 billion in cash.

Why it matters The semiconductor market keeps consolidating, even within the analog world.

Zoom in: TI will pay $231 per share, which represents around a 69% premium on Tuesday's closing price.

It's the company's largest acquisition since buying National Semiconductor for $6.5 billion in 2011.

Go deeper, via Bloomberg: "Because of its outsized role in global supply chains, Texas Instruments has become a barometer of sorts for much of the economy, showing whether businesses have confidence in future sales."
