Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is an American semiconductor company specializing in the design and manufacturing of low-power field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Headquartered in the Silicon Forest area of Hillsboro, Oregon, the company also has operations in San Jose, California, Shanghai, Manila, Penang, and Singapore. Lattice Semiconductor is known for its innovative technologies in low-power, small-sized FPGA solutions, catering to diverse markets including communications, computing, industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics.

Founded on April 3, 1983, by C. Norman Winningstad, Rahul Sud, and Ray Capece, Lattice Semiconductor has a rich history marked by both challenges and significant milestones. The company faced early struggles, leading to a chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in July 1987, but it emerged after 62 days and continued to grow. Over the years, Lattice has made several strategic acquisitions, such as purchasing Agere Corporation's FPGA division in 2002 and SiliconBlue in 2011, and Silicon Image Inc. in 2015. The company has also undergone leadership changes, with Jim Anderson serving as CEO from 2018 until June 2024, and Ford Tamer taking over as CEO in September 2024.

Lattice Semiconductor operates in several key business segments:

• Communications: Providing solutions for communication infrastructure.
• Computing: Focusing on client and datacenter computing.
• Industrial: Serving industrial automation and control systems.
• Automotive: Offering solutions for automotive electronics.
• Consumer Electronics: Catering to the consumer electronics market with various FPGA and programmable mixed-signal products.

Lattice Semiconductor's core competencies include:

• Low-Power Leadership: Specializing in low-power FPGA solutions.
• Small Size: Developing small-sized FPGAs.
• Feature Differentiation: Offering differentiated features such as a large number of interfaces, solution stacks, and support.
• Edge AI: Strong traction in Edge AI applications across servers, laptops, and industrial/automotive sectors.

Lattice Semiconductor is one of the leading manufacturers of FPGAs, particularly in the low-power segment. Following AMD's acquisition of Xilinx in February 2022, Lattice became the last fully independent major manufacturer of FPGAs. The company competes with Xilinx (a subsidiary of AMD) and Intel (former Altera business).

Lattice's main products include:

• Lattice Nexus: Small FPGA platform.
• Lattice Avant: Mid-range FPGA platform.
• Lattice Certus and ECP, Mach, iCE, and CrossLink: Various FPGA product families.
• Programmable Mixed-Signal and Interconnect Products: Related software and intellectual property (IP) for applications from edge computing to cloud computing.

Lattice Semiconductor offers a comprehensive range of products, including:

• Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)
• Programmable Mixed-Signal and Interconnect Products
• Video Connectivity Application Specific Standard Products
• Software and Intellectual Property (IP) for various applications.

While specific client names are not detailed, Lattice Semiconductor's products are used by major OEMs and customers across various sectors, including communications, computing, industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics. The company has deep consultative relationships with its clients, particularly in the small to mid-range FPGA market.

• Xilinx (AMD): A major competitor in the FPGA market.
• Intel (former Altera business): Another significant competitor.
• United Microelectronics Corporation: A foundry partner for Lattice Semiconductor.
