Hey, everybody. Welcome to The Six Five Summit 2026. The theme of this year's show, we're seven years in here, is AI Unleashed. As you've seen, there's a tremendous amount of unleashing of benefits downstream, but also some challenges related to security, and control, and doing all this silicon through firmware. We're joined today by Ford Tamer, CEO of Lattice, and Sanjoy Maity, Senior Vice President of the AMI Business Unit Leader of Lattice. Sanjoy, welcome to The Six Five, and Ford, welcome back.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.

Operator

First of all, congratulations on the deal. It was interesting, I got it the first time, having worked at a bunch of systems companies and silicon companies before, but I just wanted to say congratulations on that.

Operator

Thank you, Pat. So Ford, let's start with you.

Operator

You and I have talked a ton about Lattice and where the company is headed. Now with AMI coming into the family, into the picture, we've got Sanjoy here as well. But before we get into some of the bigger market shifts, can you give a little bit of context to our viewers on the new acquisition and strategically, what made this a fit?

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

Excellent, Pat. Thank you. Thanks again for the opportunity to be at your Six Five Summit.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

Thank you. Good morning or good evening to your Six Five audience.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

Sanjoy and I will maybe ping-pong and do this together. We are very excited about this session. Let me start with a quick overview of Lattice and AMI for your audience. I will do Lattice, and Sanjoy will do AMI. As some of you know, and some of you may be new to our story, Lattice is the low-power programmable companionship for data center AI and physical AI. Our small and mid-range FPGAs provide companion functions for secure management and control and data plane processing. We do things like booting, power sequencing, security management, control, bridging, I/O expansion.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

Yeah Sensor fusion, and data processing.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

We do this for partners on the data center AI such as XPUs, GPUs, CPUs, DPUs, microprocessors, microcontrollers, but also networking function and switch and NIC, the board management controllers. On the physical AI, we also do this for all kinds of sensors, from image to LIDAR, to radar, infrared, thermal cameras, and then industrial motion and various other industrial sensors. Sanjoy, can you say a few words about AMI, please?

Sanjoy MaitySVP of AMI Business Unit Leader

Sure. Thank you, Ford. AMI is making the foundational firmware for the last 40 years. That uses very essential for the AI data center infrastructure. We make firmware to boot, manage, and secure them. These are very, very essential for the data center. At the same time, the AI data centers are very complex, right? There are so many components, so many infrastructure elements. We also provide holistic view of the data center through a single pane of glass view. From telemetry to monitoring, 24/7 monitoring, error correction, and boosting uptime all together. The data center administrator in a hyperscale data center environment can have a total view of the AI data center. Ford, you can elaborate why we join hands.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

Thank you, Sanjoy. We have been "dating" for six years. We have known each other for that long, Pat, so we service very similar customers on hyperscaler, Neocloud, major server and networking system OEMs, as well as silicon and system partners that we work with very closely. Both of us ascribe to this open system neutrality across the whole ecosystem. We both operate very close to the hardware, so fundamentally, our FPGAs are very close to all the sensors I just discussed. We are the first chip that it goes from the sensor to before they go to digital type of processing. We provide these deterministic, real-time control, low latency, parallel processing capabilities near these sensors and partners. Similarly, AMI is also very low-level firmware, booting, managing, securing all of these hardware.

Ford TamerPresident and CEO

You can see we're very complementary, and our customers now have a tremendous pressure to go shift left and go faster time to market. Together, we believe we're going to provide secure management control solution, a turnkey, and speed up our customers' time to market, and tremendous benefit to them. Do you want to elaborate on that, Sanjoy, before we go back to Pat?

Sanjoy MaitySVP of AMI Business Unit Leader

Yes, absolutely. As Ford mentioned, our strategic intent is pre-validated, proven solution, handing over to our customer. So the customer do not spend their time in the integration issues, and they can focus on their IP development and focus on their business. This is a massive, faster to market advantage that we are going to give them. That's the main intent for us to do together.

Operator

Yeah, I've been a fan of the two companies coming together, and it's great to hear it in your own words here. Ford, I want to pull out a little bit, go macro here. AI is obviously changing more than the processors themselves, right? We've seen a lot of massive changes, not just subtle changes, massive changes in power, connectivity, security, how do you control these systems and also the devices themselves? Even how the system itself are managed. Ask you, how is AI changing the overall end-to-end infrastructure that surrounds the compute?
