Lattice Semiconductor company history timeline

1983

The pair formed Lattice International Inc. in April of 1983 with the help of C. Norman Winningstad, the founder of the successful Floating Point Systems, a maker of computers and peripherals.

1984

Xilinx ,founded one year later by Ross Freeman in 1984 followed closely in adopting the fabless business model .Therafter most of the industry adopted the model ,today generating over $ 100Billion in annual sales.

1985

Part of the problem was that semiconductor markets slumped in 1985.

But the device was introduced early in 1985, in the midst of the industry slump, when few buyers were willing to risk the switch to a new chip design.

1986

Scheduled for completion by 1986, the facility would, according to Sud and Capece, churn out high-tech chips designed by the semiconductor-industry superstars who would comprise Lattice's work force.

1987

In July 1987 Lattice filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy to get protection from its creditors.

By the time Tsui assumed the presidency, Lattice had already achieved an impressive recovery from its 1987 low.

TSMC ,the world's first silicon foundry emerged as a result of the demand in 1987 .

1989

Winningstad's most pivotal move at Lattice came in 1989, when he convinced Cyrus Tsui to become president of the company.

More importantly, the company was generating positive cashflow and would record its first surplus in 1989, when it netted income of $2.2 million.

1992

Then, in March of 1992, Lattice introduced its first high-density devices.

1994

In 1994, in fact, Tsui had connected with his native country, China, when he opened a Lattice research and development center in Shanghai.

1996

Going into 1996, Lattice continued to act primarily as a development and marketing company, but was moving to add manufacturing operations in Taiwan.

2008

Strategies now include a new option for VHDL 2008 support in Synplify Pro.

2018

Steve Douglass joined as CVP and R&D in September of 2018.

2019

Mark Nelson joined as CVP Worldwide Sales in January of 2019.

2022

Lattice is focusing its coverage on its top 20 customers who took up 50% of the project $3 billion SAM projected in 2022.
