Texas Instruments Incorporated is a multinational semiconductor firm that develops, produces, tests, and markets analog and embedded computing chips for use in enterprise systems, automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics sectors. As each new generation of innovation builds upon the one before it to make our technology smaller, more reliable, more efficient, and more affordable, we are still passionate about using semiconductors to make electronics more accessible and affordable. This allows semiconductors to be used in electronics everywhere. This is what we refer to as engineering progress. We have been engaged in this for many years.
