REUTERS: Chip supplier Marvell Technology Group Ltd on Thursday said it has agreed to buy peer Inphi Corp in a US$10 billion cash-and-stock deal aimed at broadening Marvell's footprint in data centers and 5G network infrastructure.

The deal comes amid a flurry of tie-ups in the semiconductor industry this year.
