At an age, where technology is having so much impact in every aspect of our lives, it is no surprise that numerous companies are at the forefront are changing the rules of the industry. Lattice Semiconductor Corporation in the United States is one of such giants redefining the future of technology. Established in 1983 and based in Oregon, this corporation manufactures programmable logic devices, renowned for their durability and high performance. The logic devices made by Lattice Semiconductor (field-programmable gate array, complex programmable logic devices and simple programmable logic devices) are some of the finest in the industry.
Headed by Darin Billerbeck, the Chief Executive Officer,
Lattice Semiconductor is not doing badly as a company. Figures show its annual revenues are in the region of $300 million, quite impressive for an organization with 700 workers. The efficiency of their products is so well appreciated that Lattice Semiconductor have been ranked as the third company in the world as far as
field programmable gate array (
FPGA) devices are concerned. Lattice Semiconductor also ranks number two for the complex programmable logic devices and simple programmable logic devices. Ever since Lattice Semiconductor went public in 1989, it has not remained the same again.
After its public trading, the shares bounded with each offering and by the middle of 1990, an extra $22.6 million was raised from a second stock offering. By 1996, Lattice Semiconductor was ranked by Forbes as one of the best small companies in the country. Over the years, a radical expansion has been observed, as in 1996 the size of the facility had doubled. There was also a corresponding rise in the profits accruing to the Lattice Semiconductor. But Lattice Semiconductor is not only all about impressive fiscal figures alone, they are also a respected market leader.
For being consistent with the production of high-quality devices, Lattice Semiconductor has been able to carve a niche for itself as far as excellence is concerned. A company to watch out for, Lattice Semiconductor is stepping up the game and this has an overall positive impact on the electronics industry. Knowing that there is an array of other similar companies like Lattice Semiconductor in the industry, the future is surely bright for the electronic design automation industry. Newer standards, higher quality control systems, advances in nanotechnology and an ever-expanding global market are some of the most important factors behind this revolution.
