NanoXplore is acquiring Scalinx in a move designed to strengthen its European position in critical microelectronics. The French specialist in hardened FPGA and SoC design will combine its digital technologies with Scalinx’s signal-conversion circuits to build more integrated solutions, including RFSoC architectures, aimed at the space and defense markets.
The deal brings together two French microelectronics players with complementary expertise: NanoXplore on the digital side, and Scalinx on analog and mixed-signal conversion. The strategic goal is to create more complete, sovereign European offerings for demanding applications where reliability, performance and security are essential.
By integrating their technologies, the combined company intends to accelerate development of advanced chips and system architectures for critical sectors, especially aerospace and defense, where dependence on non-European suppliers remains a major concern.
