Lattice Semiconductor completed its acquisition of AMI, bringing low-power FPGA technology together with firmware and infrastructure manageability software for cloud and AI infrastructure. The deal was first announced on May 4, 2026.
The combined portfolio spans secure platform control, firmware, and programmable hardware for hyperscalers, OEMs, ODMs, and emerging AI cloud providers. Lattice said the acquisition is expected to be accretive to gross margin, free cash flow, and non-GAAP earnings per share.
What Lattice is adding from AMI
AMI started as a PC BIOS supplier and expanded into UEFI firmware, baseboard management controller software, remote server management, platform security, and cloud infrastructure orchestration. Its software is widely used across enterprise servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and hyperscale data centers.
That matters because the transaction is not just about more hardware volume. It gives Lattice a software layer that sits closer to platform initialization and management, which is where many cloud and infrastructure buyers try to standardize behavior across fleets.
How Lattice wants the portfolio to land
Lattice said the acquisition supports its goal of reaching an annual revenue run rate above $1 billion by the end of 2026. Ford Tamer, president and CEO of Lattice Semiconductor, said the acquisition starts a new chapter for Lattice and AMI and will provide customers with differentiated low-power programmable FPGA and firmware solutions.
He also said Lattice remains committed to the neutrality and openness that AMI and Lattice customers and partners have relied on. That is the commercial line to watch as AMI becomes a dedicated Lattice business unit called AMI, a Lattice Company.
Operating model and leadership
Sanjoy Maity continues to lead AMI and reports directly to Ford Tamer. AMI was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, USA.
The structure suggests Lattice is keeping AMI visible as a distinct unit rather than folding it into the main brand immediately. For buyers, that may help preserve the software relationships AMI already has across servers, storage, networking equipment, and hyperscale data centers.
Read for cloud and infrastructure buyers
Cloud and AI infrastructure teams now have a single vendor story that spans programmable hardware and platform firmware. The immediate practical question is not the logo change; it is whether Lattice can keep AMI’s software relationships intact while pushing the combined portfolio toward its 2026 revenue target.
