Siemens to acquire debug and trace solutions provider Lauterbach

What happened

Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Lauterbach, a German provider of debug and trace solutions for embedded software and complex system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. Lauterbach develops modular development and verification tools for microprocessors and embedded CPU cores, including hardware-assisted debuggers and real-time trace tools. Siemens said the combination of complementary technologies enables a unified view of chip and software behavior and helps customers more quickly identify errors arising from complex hardware-software interactions during chip development, extending its EDA portfolio for semiconductor design. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals, and has not yet been completed.
