Better sound for smart home applications
Infineon Technologies today announced the acquisition of Merus Audio. The Copenhagen-based start-up was founded in 2010 by Hans Hasselby-Andersen and Mikkel Hoyerby. Merus Audio creates energy-efficient integrated audio amplifier solutions. They maximize audio performance and battery playback time for smart home and battery-powered speakers while minimizing heat and design space. After the integration of Merus Audio, Infineon will be able to offer its customers a comprehensive and leading-edge Class-D Audio amplifier portfolio addressing the most demanding applications. The technology complements Infineon’s existing PowIRAudio™ product line for power levels below ~70 Watt.
ARTHOS acted as the M&A advisor to Infineon Technologies with the main task to structure and negotiate the main terms of the agreement. In addition ARTHOS was coordinating the Infineon team during Due Diligence and was supporting the acquisition process until closing.
