(Reuters) - Nvidia Corp said it will buy Icera, a privately held mobile phone radio chip maker, for $367 million in cash to strengthen its position in the booming smartphone market.
The deal will help Nvidia offer mobile phone makers radio processors along with its Tegra 2 line of CPUs, enabling them to save time on taking their products to market.
Nvidia, which over the last year has moved from making graphics chips to being one of the leaders in high-performance mobile and tablets processors, said the deal would slightly hurt operating earnings in the first-half of 2012.
Nvidia expects the transaction to add to operating earnings in the second-half of 2012.
Earlier this year, rival Qualcomm Inc had acquired wireless radio chip maker Atheros Corp for $3.2 billion.
England-based Icera makes processors that are used in 3G and 4G mobile phone antennas.
"This is a key step in Nvidia's plans to be a major player in the mobile computing revolution," Nvidia Chief Executive Jen-Hsun Huang said in a statement.
Evercore Partners served as the financial adviser to Icera.
Shares of the company were trading up 2 percent at $19.71 on Monday on Nasdaq in early trade.
