Disclosed Deal Value
Lattice Semiconductor's largest disclosed acquisition here is AMI for $1.6B in 2026. This page covers 3 major deals from 2011 to 2026, each with its price where disclosed and the reason behind it.
| Company | Year | Price | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiliconBlue Technologies | 2011 | $62.0M | Lattice bought SiliconBlue Technologies, a maker of very low-power SRAM-based FPGAs aimed at mobile devices, for about $62 million in cash. |
| Mirametrix | 2021 | Undisclosed | Lattice acquired Mirametrix, a Montreal computer-vision software company, to add AI software for presence detection and attention sensing. |
| AMI | 2026 | $1.6B | Lattice acquired AMI, a Georgia-based provider of Aptio BIOS firmware and MegaRAC server-management software previously owned by THL Partners, for $1.0 billion in cash and about $650 million in stock. |
2026
$1.6B
Lattice acquired AMI, a Georgia-based provider of Aptio BIOS firmware and MegaRAC server-management software previously owned by THL Partners, for $1.0 billion in cash and about $650 million in stock.
The deal adds a software and licensing business to Lattice's chip sales and deepens its role in server security and manageability.
Announced May 4 and completed July 27, 2026. Lattice guided Q3 2026 revenue to about $255 million including two months of AMI.
2021
Lattice acquired Mirametrix, a Montreal computer-vision software company, to add AI software for presence detection and attention sensing.
The software was folded into Lattice's sensAI edge AI offering for PCs and other devices.
It strengthened Lattice's software and solution-stack strategy; terms were not disclosed.
2011
$62M
Lattice bought SiliconBlue Technologies, a maker of very low-power SRAM-based FPGAs aimed at mobile devices, for about $62 million in cash.
The deal gave Lattice a dedicated ultra-low-power FPGA architecture.
SiliconBlue's technology became the iCE40 family, still part of Lattice's small-FPGA lineup.
Lattice is pursuing three main lines of growth: more FPGA content per AI server for board control and hardware root of trust, the newer mid-range Avant family that widens its market beyond small devices, and cross-selling AMI firmware and management software with Lattice silicon to hyperscalers and server makers.
Lattice makes money by designing FPGAs and selling the chips, mostly through distributors, to equipment makers. It is fabless: foundry partners manufacture the silicon, while Lattice owns the architecture, the Radiant and Propel design software, and application 'solution stacks' such as sensAI and Sentry. Customers program the chips themselves, so one Lattice part can serve many designs and stay in production for years. Since July 2026 Lattice also earns software and licensing revenue from AMI's Aptio BIOS firmware and MegaRAC server-management products, which management expected to exceed a $200 million annual run rate by the end of 2026.
In March 2015, Lattice acquired connectivity and video interface leader Silicon Image for $600 million, obtaining foundational intellectual property and patent portfolios in HDMI, MHL, and millimeter-wave wireless technology.
In November 2021, Lattice acquired Mirametrix Inc., a pioneer in artificial intelligence and computer vision software for user presence detection and eye gaze tracking, integrating its software directly into Lattice sensAI for PC and smart display makers.
In December 2011, Lattice acquired SiliconBlue Technologies for $62 million in cash, gaining the ultra-low-power, mobile-optimized iCE40 FPGA architecture that became the foundation for Lattice's dominant position in mobile and edge sensor management.
In September 2017, President Donald Trump issued an executive order blocking the proposed $1.3 billion acquisition of Lattice Semiconductor by private equity firm Canyon Bridge Capital Partners on national security grounds due to foreign state-backed financing concerns.
In June 1999, Lattice acquired Vantis Corporation (the programmable logic subsidiary of Advanced Micro Devices) for $500 million in cash, instantly doubling Lattice's programmable logic revenue and patent portfolio.
Lattice focuses acquisitions on specialized machine-learning algorithm developers, automotive safety toolchain companies, and cyber-resilience software firms that can be embedded directly into its solution stacks to increase software subscription revenues.
Following the 2018 strategic turnaround, Lattice pruned low-margin commodity consumer HDMI transmitter chips, refocusing 100% of engineering resources on high-margin low-power FPGAs and industrial solution stacks.
Lattice evaluates potential M&A targets based on whether the technology expands its edge AI software capabilities, strengthens hardware Root-of-Trust IP, or accelerates market share in the $3+ billion mid-range FPGA market.
In 2011, they bought SiliconBlue, which cemented their dominance in low-power FPGAs. In 2021, they bought Mirametrix to aggressively add AI computer-vision software to their chips. However, their absolute most massive strategic move occurred in 2026 when they agreed to acquire AMI (a massive leader in server BIOS firmware) for a staggering $1.65 billion, completely shifting the company from pure hardware into highly lucrative infrastructure software.
