What Lattice Semiconductor does

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) is a US-headquartered fabless semiconductor company founded in 1983 that designs and sells low-power Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and complementary software, IP cores, and solution stacks. The company's core technology rests on two proprietary platforms: Lattice Nexus (28nm FD-SOI Samsung process, targeting small FPGAs for edge AI and embedded vision) and Lattice Avant (mid-range FPGAs with up to 600,000 logic cells for data center and advanced industrial workloads). These are supplemented by the MachXO control-and-security family — including the industry-first CNSA 2.0-compliant MachXO5-NX TDQ with post-quantum cryptography — and the iCE40, Certus, ECP5, and CrossLink families spanning ultra-low-power, general-purpose, and video connectivity applications.

Lattice generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of FPGA silicon across multiple product families, with Q1 2026 quarterly revenue of $170.9 million representing 42% year-over-year growth. Secondary revenue streams include IP licensing and software tools (Lattice Diamond, Radiant, Propel, sensAI Studio), pre-configured solution stacks (sensAI, mVision, Sentry, Automate, Drive, ORAN), and professional design services through the Lattice Design Group. The company sells through a hybrid channel: global authorized distributors (Arrow, Digi-Key, Mouser, Element14, Macnica, Weikeng) serve the SMB and individual engineer long tail, while a direct enterprise field sales team targets hyperscale data center operators (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Dell, Meta, Supermicro), industrial automation firms, automotive OEMs, and defense integrators. Gross margins of 68.2% and a serviceable addressable market of $6B (expanding to $12B with the pending $1.65B AMI acquisition) reflect a premium positioning in the small and mid-range FPGA segment where Lattice holds the #1 global supplier position with an installed base exceeding 11,000 customers.
