Lauterbach Datentechnik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lauterbach Datentechnik GmbH is a German electronic design automation firm specializing in in-circuit emulators and logic analyzers used for debugging embedded systems. The firm was founded in 1979 by Lothar Lauterbach in Hofolding close to Munich.
The company holds exclusive access to a niche-market of relatively cheap in-circuit emulators, especially on systems using JTAG, under the brand name TRACE 32. This exclusivity has enabled them to grow strongly in sales in recent years (65 million USD in 2004), only challenged by large EDA companies such as Mentor Graphics. The company itself is still somewhat of a family workshop, with the two brothers Lothar and Stephan Lauterbach as its directors.
