Aren Francis Nakpil's questions to LATTICE SEMICONDUCTOR (LSCC) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Aren Francis Nakpil, on behalf of Chris Rolland, asked about Lattice's M&A appetite, specifically whether the company would focus on the low-to-mid-range FPGA portfolio or prefer to move into higher-capability segments. He also inquired about potential new products in networking and AI, given the CEO's background.
Answer
CEO Ford Tamer affirmed that Lattice's focus remains on the small and mid-range FPGA segments, which he believes are the fastest-growing and most attractive parts of the market. He clarified that Lattice partners with major AI and networking companies, positioning its FPGAs for far-edge applications near sensors to provide contextual intelligence, rather than competing in the high-end cloud accelerator space.
