Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ:LSCC) is a leading provider of programmable logic devices and related software, offering solutions that enable flexible, power-efficient system designs. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon, the company has grown through strategic innovation and market expansion. Early milestones include an acquisition by Texas Instruments in 1987 and a management buyout in 1989, culminating in a public listing in 1990. Over the decades, Lattice has focused on delivering low-power, cost-effective field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) for a range of industries.
The company’s core product portfolio includes a variety of FPGAs, CPLDs, application-specific standard products (ASSPs), and related software tools. These devices are designed to address connectivity, control, and interface challenges in modern electronics. Lattice’s software ecosystem features development tools that accelerate design cycles, simplify verification, and optimize power consumption. In addition, the company offers intellectual property (IP) cores and reference designs tailored to applications such as machine learning, video processing, and sensor fusion.
Lattice serves a global customer base spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. Its solutions are widely used in communications infrastructure, industrial automation, automotive systems, consumer electronics, and data center acceleration. The company has established strong partnerships with semiconductor foundries and ecosystem participants, enabling customers to scale production while maintaining energy-efficient operation at the edge. Lattice’s devices are particularly valued in sectors where low latency and minimal power draw are critical.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Jim Anderson, who joined the company in 2018, Lattice has sharpened its focus on differentiated low-power solutions and strategic market segments. The executive team emphasizes customer-centric innovation, supply chain resilience, and collaborative partnerships to drive long-term growth. As emerging trends such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and the Internet of Things continue to evolve, Lattice aims to expand its technology roadmap and reinforce its position as a pioneer in programmable logic.
