Lauterbach GmbH (German pronunciation: [ˈlaʊtɐbax] ⓘ) is a German firm specializing in Debuggers, Trace Modules and logic analyzers used for debugging, profiling and analyzing embedded systems. The company was founded in 1979 by Lothar Lauterbach. In 2009 the firm was renamed from Lauterbach Datentechnik GmbH to Lauterbach GmbH.

The company is global market leader for pure software as well as hardware-assisted debug- and trace development tools for embedded systems, which it sells under the brand name TRACE32. Lauterbach has local subsidiaries in United Kingdom, United States (2), Japan, France, Italy, China (3) and Tunisia as well as distributors and technical support in other countries like India, South Korea, Brasil and Singapore.[2]

The TRACE32 products support more than 14,500 different chips and over 150 different microarchitectures[3][4] including the most complex System on a chip from Nvidia, Qualcomm, AMD and other semiconductor suppliers, which is a unique selling point in the industry.[5] Lauterbach is listed as an important partner of major IP and semiconductor manufacturers such as Arm,[6] NXP Semiconductors,[7] Infineon Technologies,[8] ST Microelectronics[9] and Renesas Electronics.[10]

Lauterbach has participated in the following international committees and associated working groups over the past years: AUTOSAR,[11] RISC-V,[12] Nexus, ASAM,[13] MIPI Debug Working Group, SPRINT Forum and Power.org.

The company is privately held by the founding family, with the two brothers Lothar and Stephan Lauterbach as its directors. Dr. Thomas Ullmann was appointed as additional managing director in March 2020.[14]

In 2017, Lauterbach was selected as a development partner by SiFive to develop the first comprehensive RISC-V debugging toolset, adding support for the RISC-V debug specification to TRACE32.[15]
