California-based chip designer Alpha & Omega Semiconductor (AOS) has agreed to pay $4.25 million to settle a probe over its unlicensed exports to sanctioned Chinese company Huawei.

In a June 27 order published on July 2, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) said that in 2019, AOS sent about 1,650 foreign-made power controllers, smart power stages, and related accessories from the United States to Huawei in 15 shipments, without securing export licenses.
