Cirrus Logic Unveils AEC-Q100 Qualified Haptic Drivers for Automotive Interfaces Amidst Revenue Growth’
Austin, Texas’ Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRUS), a front-runner in high-performance audio and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, has launched a new series of closed-loop haptic drivers designed for next-generation automotive interfaces. This innovative family includes three drivers CS40L51, CS40L52, and CS40L53 and marks a significant milestone for the company as it introduces its first haptic driver solutions that are reliability qualified in alignment with the AEC-Q100 automotive standard.
This strategic expansion into the automotive sector signifies Cirrus Logic’s commitment to leveraging its well-established expertise in consumer and smartphone haptics to enhance the automotive user experience. As vehicles integrate more touch-based interfaces, the demand for superior haptic feedback systems is growing. The newly launched haptic drivers promise to provide more precise and responsive touch experiences for passengers and drivers alike, aligning perfectly with the industry’s shift towards more connected and interactive vehicular environments.
In tandem with this product launch, Cirrus Logic has also reported impressive financial growth. The company improved its revenue sequentially to $560.37 million, reflecting a robust increase of 37.67%, outpacing the gross profit rise of 37.54% to $294.37 million. However, this rapid revenue growth has resulted in a slight contraction of the gross profit margin to 52.53%. Notably, despite this contraction, the company’s second-quarter gross profit margin remains significantly above its average rate of 49.91%.
Providing further context to these financial figures, it’s noteworthy that within the industry, 25 other companies have reported higher gross profit margins in the second quarter of 2025. Nonetheless, when comparing Cirrus Logic’s gross profit margin on a broader scale across all companies, the firm has seen substantial improvement. It moved up in ranking from the 52.58th position in the first quarter of 2025 to now sitting at the 2156th rank.
Cirrus Logic’s introduction of closed-loop haptic drivers not only positions the company to capture a share of the growing automotive interface market but also underscores its capacity for sustained financial performance amidst an evolving industry landscape.
