Texas Instruments helped bring about the modern electronics age with the 1958 invention of the integrated circuit by one of its engineers. The resulting microchips made possible all manner of compact gadgets, including handheld calculators, which the company continues to sell under its brand name. The vast majority of TI’s business today is building and selling semiconductors. With more than a dozen chip-manufacturing facilities throughout the world, Texas Instruments is a leading provider of analog and embedded processors. The chip company’s vast portfolio of more than 80,000 products serves customers in a range of industries, such as automotive, defense, aerospace, computing, and communications.
