On November 10, Siemens announced it has signed an agreement to acquire Lauterbach, a deal expected to further strengthen Siemens' position as a leading EDA supplier.
Founded in Germany in 1979, Lauterbach has about 170 employees and serves 1,200 customers across industries worldwide, with 2025 revenue of about €60 million. The company develops hardware-assisted debuggers and real-time trace tools for MCU and embedded CPU core development and validation, and is a leading supplier of debug and trace solutions for embedded software and complex SoC architectures.
Through the acquisition, Siemens can achieve a unified view of chip and software behavior, helping customers identify errors from complex hardware-software interactions faster during chip development, accelerate time-to-market, and improve quality.
ICgoodFind Summary: Siemens' Lauterbach acquisition fills the hardware-assisted debugging and real-time trace link in the EDA flow. The unified view of chip and software behavior targets the pain point of hard-to-locate hardware-software interaction errors in complex SoCs, extending Siemens' EDA capability from design to verification and debug.
