Lattice Semiconductor(NASDAQ) LSCC

Lattice makes small computer chips that help electronic devices think and talk to each other. These chips help machines in factories, cars, and smart homes work better and stay secure. The company helps other businesses build smarter products quickly without using too much power.

What is Inside the Silicon?

• Small FPGA Platforms: Programmable chips like Nexus and Nexus 2 that balance low power use with high speed for video and sensor tasks.
• Mid-Range FPGA Platforms: Chips like Avant that handle more complex data processing and artificial intelligence at the edge of networks.
• Secure Control FPGAs: Specialized hardware such as the MachXO family that protects systems from hacking and manages power sequences.
• Software and IP: Digital tools and building blocks that let engineers program their hardware and add features like face detection or robotics control.
• Licensing and Services: Technical rights for video standards like HDMI and specialized design help for other technology companies.

Recent Strategic Moves

• Introduced the Avant 16nm platform in 2022 to expand into the mid-range chip market.
• Launched the Nexus 2 platform in 2024 to provide better security and connectivity for small-scale applications.
• Released Lattice Drive and Lattice ORAN solution stacks to help customers build automotive systems and 5G wireless infrastructure.
• Acquired Mirametrix to add computer vision and artificial intelligence software called Glance to its product lineup.

What Makes Lattice Different

Lattice focuses on low-power chips that can be reprogrammed even after a product is sold. This flexibility allows customers to update their devices with new security or features without changing the hardware.
