September 23, 2026 / SemiMedia / — Microchip Technology has completed its acquisition of Hailo, adding AI accelerators, vision processors, robotics processors and AI software technologies to its portfolio as it expands further into Edge AI, machine vision, robotics and Physical AI applications. Financial terms were not disclosed, and Microchip said the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on its financial results.
Hailo develops processors and software for edge AI workloads, with products including the Hailo-8 and Hailo-10 AI accelerators and Hailo-15 vision processors. Its portfolio supports computer vision, transformer-based models, LLM and VLM workloads, multimodal applications and advanced video analytics.
Microchip plans to combine Hailo's AI and vision processing technologies with its embedded processors, FPGAs, connectivity, security, analog and power products, targeting applications ranging from smart cameras and industrial automation to high-performance robotics and autonomous machines.
CEO Steve Sanghi said AI is becoming a foundational capability across industrial automation, robotics, intelligent transportation, smart infrastructure and advanced vision applications, and that Hailo will strengthen Microchip's ability to provide production-ready intelligent system platforms.
Hailo brings more than 100 customers and a developer community exceeding 10,000 users. Microchip said it will continue supporting Hailo's existing product portfolio, software environment and customer programs while investing in future AI acceleration, vision processing and intelligent edge computing technologies.
Microchip first announced a definitive agreement to acquire Hailo on July 24, with closing expected before the end of the September quarter. The completed transaction now makes Hailo a core part of Microchip's broader Edge AI strategy.
