Lattice Semiconductor intends to acquire AMI and thus significantly expand its portfolio beyond programmable low-power logic. The transaction values AMI at USD 1.65 billion and is intended to position Lattice more strongly in the areas of servers, cloud, AI infrastructure, security, manageability and system control.

AMI is a provider of platform firmware and infrastructure manageability for cloud and AI systems. Through the acquisition, Lattice aims to combine its FPGAs with firmware, management and control solutions to create a more comprehensive platform for secure management and control functions.

For customers in the compute, communications, industrial and embedded markets, the combined offering is primarily intended to provide more design freedom. Both companies emphasize that the solutions will continue to be positioned as companion chips and cross-vendor, silicon-agnostic platforms.

More System Control for Complex Infrastructures

The focus is on data centers and AI infrastructures, whose modularity, complexity and availability requirements continue to increase. Lattice and AMI want to provide solutions that support secure control, flexible management, predictive maintenance and faster product launches.

Lattice CEO Ford Tamer described AMI as a natural extension of the portfolio. The acquisition fits with the strategy of establishing Lattice as an "Everywhere Companion Chip" provider and deepening the company's role in system-level security, manageability and control.

The purchase price consists of 1.0 billion dollars in cash and around 650 million dollars in Lattice shares. AMI is expected to generate more than 200 million dollars in revenue in 2026. Lattice expects the acquisition to be accretive to gross margin, free cash flow and earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 and is still subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Lattice also sees the acquisition as a building block on the way to an annualized revenue rate of more than one billion dollars by the fourth quarter of 2026.(sg)
