FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany's Dialog Semiconductor said on Thursday it would acquire privately held California-based Silego Technology Inc for up to $306 million, helping to strengthen its position in the market for the so-called Internet of Things.

The deal would expand the addressable market of Dialog by more than $1.4 billion, and the company said it expected the transaction to be accretive to its earnings per share in 2018 and accretive to gross margins.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year and will be funded with cash, said Dialog. The company's product range comprises integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, charging and low-power connectivity technology.
