They are really great chips for power consumption and price. I have used them in several products and the team behind them really knows what they are doing.

They still list IoT and automotive as areas they are going to continue to develop. Bluetooth is such a large part of their business and fits into these areas, so I fail to see how they would leave that space. My comment is that they actually are very competitive in that area and I would not exclude them from new product development.

This article doesn't lay out which parts of the company are to be retained by Dialog, but I could swear an article I read yesterday listed Bluetooth chips as one of the areas where they would continue to develop their own product.

>Dialog says post the acquisition, the remaining part of the business will focus more on IoT, as well as mobile, automotive, computing and storage markets, specifically as a provider of custom and configurable mixed-signal integrated circuit chips.
