ITEM 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement on Schedule 13D (this Statement) relates to the shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Company Common Stock) of Advanced Analogic
Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the Company). The principal executive
offices of the Company are located at 3230 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, CA 95054.
ITEM 2. Identity and Background.
This Statement is being filed by Skyworks Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Buyer).
The Buyers business and principal office address is 20 Sylvan Road, Woburn, MA 01801.
The Buyer is an innovator of high reliability analog and mixed signal semiconductors.
Leveraging core technologies, the Buyer offers diverse standard and custom linear products
supporting automotive, broadband, cellular infrastructure, energy management, industrial, medical,
military and cellular handset applications. The Buyers portfolio includes amplifiers, attenuators,
detectors, diodes, directional couplers, front-end modules, hybrids, infrastructure RF subsystems,
mixers/demodulators, phase shifters, PLLs/synthesizers/VCOs, power dividers/combiners, receivers,
switches and technical ceramics.
The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each
director and executive officer of the Buyer is set forth on Schedule I hereto.
The Buyer has not been, and to the best of Buyers knowledge, none of the individuals referred
to in Schedule I have been, convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject
to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding violations with respect to such
laws during the last five years.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On May 26, 2011, the Buyer, PowerCo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Buyer (Merger Sub) and the Company entered an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which Merger Sub will, subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, merge with and into the Company, and the Company
will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer (the Merger).
On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of
the Merger (the Effective Time), each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than dissenting shares) will be
converted into the right to receive an aggregate of $6.13 per share, payable in an initial
combination of $3.68 in cash (the Cash Consideration) and 0.08725 of a share of Buyer common
stock, par value $0.25 per share (the Stock Consideration). The Cash Consideration is subject to
adjustment up or down depending upon the nominal value of the Stock Consideration (the Closing
Value) based on the average last sale price (at the 4 p.m. Eastern Time close of regular trading
on the Nasdaq) of a share of Buyer common stock for the five full trading days ending on the
trading day immediately prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs (the Average
Price). If the Closing Value is greater than $2.45, the Cash Consideration will be
reduced by the difference between the Closing Value and $2.45, and if the

Closing Value is less than $2.45, the Cash Consideration will be increased by the difference
between the Closing Value and $2.45. If the Average Price is less than $21.00, then the Buyer has
the right to pay the entire $6.13 in cash so that no Buyer common stock would be issued to Company
stockholders in the Merger in exchange for their issued and outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock. The shares of the Buyers common stock issuable in the transaction will be registered
pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 and the shares of the Buyers common stock
issuable upon exercise of assumed Company stock options will be registered pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-8.
The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions,
including, among other things, adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger by the
required vote of the Companys stockholders, the effectiveness of the registration statement,
receipt of any applicable governmental and regulatory approvals, and the absence of any development
having (or reasonably likely to have) a material adverse effect on the Company. The Buyer and
the Company have made certain customary representations and warranties to each other in the Merger
Agreement, including representations and warranties by the Company related to capitalization, the
absence of undisclosed liabilities and other changes, intellectual property, accuracy and
completeness of SEC filings and financial statements, absence of litigation, and employee benefits
and matters.
The Merger Agreement also gives the Buyer and the Company the right to terminate the Merger
Agreement under certain circumstances, including in the event of certain uncured breaches of
representations and warranties or covenants by the other party and in the event that the Closing
does not occur prior to December 31, 2011. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has
agreed to certain restrictions on the operation of its business between the date of the Merger
Agreement and the Effective Time, and the Company and the Buyer have entered into covenants on
customary matters, including obtaining the requisite approval of the Companys stockholders, making
required regulatory filings, employee benefits after the Closing, and other matters.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Buyer entered into a stockholder agreement (the
Stockholder Agreement), dated as of May 26, 2011, with the following directors and
officers of the Company (each a Stockholder and collectively, the
Stockholders): Richard K. Williams, Samuel J. Anderson, Jason L. Carlson, Jaff Lin,
Thomas P. Redfern, Chandramohan Subramanian, Jun-Wei Chen, Ashok Chandran and Kevin DAngelo. The
Stockholders own 2,576,028 issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, options currently
vested or vesting in the 60 days following May 26, 2011 (without giving effect to any acceleration that may occur
upon consummation of the Merger) that are exercisable for 2,430,725 shares of Company Common Stock,
and restricted stock units that are currently vested or vesting in the 60 days following May 26, 2011 (without giving
effect to any acceleration of vesting that may occur upon consummation of the Merger) that are
subject to settlement in stock for a total of 0 shares of Company Common Stock, representing,
in the aggregate 11.03% of the 42,971,079 Shares outstanding as of May 24, 2011. Under the terms
of the Stockholder Agreement, any shares of Company Common Stock received by the Stockholders upon
the exercise of stock options or the settlement of restricted stock units are subject to the
provisions of the Stockholder Agreement. Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, each Stockholder
has agreed to vote all shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by such Stockholder in
favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and against any other acquisition proposal or alternative
acquisition agreement made in opposition to the consummation of the Merger and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Stockholders have also granted the Buyer an irrevocable
proxy to vote their shares of Company Common Stock at any meeting of stockholders called with
respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Buyer has entered into a non-competition,
non-solicitation and confidentiality agreement, dated as of May 26, 2011, with Richard K. Williams,
the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of the Company (the
Non-Competition Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Williams has
agreed, for a period of 24 months and subject to certain exceptions, not to engage, without the
express prior written consent of the Buyer, in any business or activity that is in competition with
the Companys business of developing, designing, manufacturing, licensing, marketing, selling and
distributing power management semiconductors and related software.
References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder Agreement and the
Non-Competition Agreement as set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
copies of the Merger Agreement, Stockholder Agreement and Non-Competition Agreement, respectively,
copies of which are filed as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3, respectively, hereto and which are incorporated
by reference in this Item 3 in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transactions.
As described in Item 3, the Buyer acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Company
Common Stock covered by the Stockholders Agreement as a condition to entering into the Merger
Agreement. Under applicable corporate law, for the Merger to be completed, the Merger Agreement
must be adopted by the affirmative votes of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock. The shares of Company Common Stock covered by the Stockholders Agreement
represent a portion of the required votes, but significantly less than the required majority, and
therefore do not guarantee receipt of the required stockholder approval. In addition, each
Stockholder signed the Stockholders Agreement solely in such Stockholders capacity as an owner of
his shares of Company Common Stock and nothing in the Stockholders Agreement prohibits, prevents or
precludes such Stockholder from taking or not taking any action in his or her capacity as an
officer or director of the Company, to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement. Under certain
circumstances, the Merger Agreement allows the Companys Board of Directors to withdraw its support
for the Merger Agreement and, in certain circumstances, including circumstances involving the receipt of an unsolicited
superior proposal, to terminate the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement is terminated in
accordance with its terms, the Stockholders Agreement terminates concurrently with the termination
of the Merger Agreement and the proxy granted to the Buyer automatically terminates.
Except as set forth in Item 3, the Buyer does not have any present plans or proposals which
relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b) For the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Buyer, by reason
of the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Agreement, may be deemed to have beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act) of 5,006,753 Shares which are
subject to the Stockholder Agreement, which represent approximately
11.03% of the Shares (based on
the number of Shares outstanding as of May 24, 2011). Except as set forth in this Item 5, the
Buyer does not, and to its knowledge, any person listed in Schedule I hereto does not,
beneficially own any Shares.
With respect to the voting of the Shares, the Buyer has the power to vote or cause the vote of
the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Stockholder Agreement. Neither the filing of this
Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Buyer is the
beneficial owner of the Shares referred

to in this Item 5 for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and
such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. Furthermore,
because the Buyer does not have any pecuniary interest
in the shares of Common Stock covered by the Stockholder Agreement, beneficial ownership over such shares is expressly
disclaimed for reporting purposes.
(c) Except for the execution and delivery of the Stockholder Agreement and the Merger Agreement,
no transaction in shares of Company Common Stock were effected by the Buyer or, to its knowledge,
any person listed in Schedule I hereto, during the 60 days prior to the date hereof.
(d) Except for the agreements described in this Statement, to the knowledge of the Buyer, no other
person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Company reported herein.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information set forth in Items 3 through 5 of this Statement is hereby incorporated by
reference in this Item 6.
Other than described in this Statement, to the knowledge of the Buyer, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item
2 and Schedule I and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of
the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, joint
ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profit or
loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
