Together, they will address datacenter modularity, complexity, uptime, and deployment challenges, while maintaining their shared commitment to delivering agnostic companion chips and solutions for the compute, communications, industrial, and embedded markets. Upon closing, they expect the combined company’s complementary products to amplify customer success with an expanded set of solutions for secure management, flexible control, predictive maintenance, and accelerated time to market.

“Our acquisition of AMI advances our everywhere companion chip strategy and shared vision to deliver secure management and control solutions that help customers deploy complex systems faster and with greater confidence – with expanded design choice and flexibility,” said Ford Tamer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lattice Semiconductor. “AMI’s expertise in firmware and infrastructure for cloud and AI is a natural extension of our portfolio, deepening our role in system-level security, manageability, and control. We expect our combined capabilities to create significant value for our customers and shareholders.”

This combination allows us to build on that foundation, extending the reach of AMI’s platform firmware and infrastructure manageability solutions while maintaining the open, silicon‑agnostic, multi‑vendor support our customers value. Together, we believe we can deliver more complete and integrated management and control solutions for the systems being designed today – and tomorrow.”
