THL Partners sells AMI to Lattice Semiconductor
The $1.65 billion transaction combines Lattice’s low-power FPGAs with AMI’s platform firmware and infrastructure manageability software for cloud and AI data centers.
Takeaways
- AMI is a platform firmware and infrastructure manageability solutions for cloud and AI environments.
- THL Partners is selling AMI to Lattice Semiconductor.
- The business serves cloud and AI environments, datacenters.
A $1.65 billion acquisition of AMI from THL Partners will allow Lattice Semiconductor to pair its low-power FPGAs with platform firmware for cloud and AI data centers, creating a complete secure management and control portfolio.
AMI provides platform firmware that manages system initialization and security, along with infrastructure manageability solutions that oversee hardware health and performance.
Its software addresses modularity, complexity, and uptime challenges in data centers while maintaining silicon-agnostic, multi-vendor support across compute, communications, industrial, and embedded markets.
Lattice has built its strategy around low-power companion chips that sit alongside processors to handle security, power management, and interface functions.
Adding AMI’s firmware layer extends that strategy into system-level management and control, giving data-center operators a more integrated way to deploy and monitor secure infrastructure.
Both management teams described the combination as a natural progression from a long history of collaboration and a shared vision for open, multi-vendor design.
Selling sponsor THL Partners exits its investment in AMI with the transaction.
