Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments (TI) was founded in 1930. TI designs and manufactures analog devices, digital signal processors (DSP), and microcontroller (MCU) semiconductor chips. TI is a leading semiconductor supplier of analog device solutions and digital embedded and application processing semiconductor solutions. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, USA, TI has manufacturing, design, or sales operations in more than 25 countries. TI's revenue in 2008 was $12.5 billion. It ranked 215th on the Fortune 500 list.

For 80 years, TI has effectively driven social progress. From quietly developing Texas oilfields to taking a leading position in the global market, TI has grown under the guidance of its employee philosophy. It is through the unremitting efforts of thousands of TI people, combined with the genius ideas of inventors such as Nobel Prize winner Jack Kilby, that we can make unparalleled contributions to society and the industry around the world. Throughout our history, their inventions have emerged in succession, such as the first commercial silicon transistor, the first integrated circuit, and the first handheld electronic calculator.

Since entering mainland China in 1986, TI has always attached great importance to the development of the Chinese market. The TI China development strategy, approved by the company's board of directors, was officially implemented in 1996. The goal of this strategy is to help Chinese enterprises establish a reasonable electronic product structure, improve the design and innovation capability of high-tech products, and support Chinese high-tech enterprises in going global. To implement this strategy, TI has established branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Suzhou, Nanjing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Xiamen, and other places, and has built a strong technical support team to provide many unique products and technical services, including DSP and analog products, hardware and software development tools, and design consulting services. TI works closely with many well-known domestic manufacturers to help them achieve remarkable results, including launching numerous products such as wireless communications, broadband access, and other digital information.

Our success is a perfect reflection of our corporate culture: encouraging innovation and honing will, which are essential qualities to gain an advantage in fierce competition. At the same time, TI also dares to assume social responsibility, actively pays attention to civic thought, strives to build high ethical standards, strongly supports education, and plays a leading role in research and development, thus becoming a model for companies to integrate into society and serve society.
