ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

    On August 9, 2000, Silicon Laboratories Inc. completed the acquisition of
Krypton Isolation, Inc. pursuant to a Merger Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of June 22, 2000, by and among Silicon Laboratories,
Karst Corporation, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Silicon Laboratories, and Krypton Isolation, Inc., a California corporation,
and with respect to Section 7.2 of the Merger Agreement only, Charles Welch,
as Shareholder Agent.  The acquisition was accomplished through the merger of
Silicon Laboratories' wholly-owned subsidiary, Karst, with and into Krypton,
with Krypton surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silicon Laboratories.
Krypton is a manufacturer of patented total solid state all-silicon Data
Access Arrangement, or DAA, devices.  Silicon Laboratories intends to
continue the business of Krypton as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

    In connection with the merger, Silicon Laboratories paid total
consideration of approximately $42 million to acquire all of the outstanding
capital stock and options to acquire capital stock of Krypton.  The total
consideration consisted of approximately $15 million in cash and 474,549
shares of Silicon Laboratories common stock.  Of the total number of shares
of Silicon Laboratories common stock issuable in connection with the merger,
384,100 shares were issued at the closing and 90,449 shares were reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of options assumed by Silicon Laboratories
pursuant to the merger.  The cash consideration paid to Krypton shareholders
was funded by cash on hand.  The total consideration paid to Krypton
shareholders was determined by arms-length negotiations between Silicon Labs
and Krypton.
