Brief introduction and detailed information of Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments was founded in 1947 by Cecil H. Green, J. Eric Zhan Sen, Eugene mcdermott and Patrick E. Hagarty. It was originally used by its parent company, Geophysical Services (GSI), to produce newly invented transistors.

Mcdermott was the founder of GSI 1930. Mcdermott, Green and Zhan Sen later acquired the company at 194 1.

1945165438+1October, Patrick Hagarty was hired as the general manager of the laboratory and manufacturing department (L&: M)). 195 1 year l &；; With its defense contract, Department M quickly surpassed the GSI Geography Department. The company changed its name to "General Instruments". In the same year, the company was renamed as "Texas Instruments" again, which is the current name. GSI gradually became a subsidiary of Texas Instruments until/kloc-0 was sold to Halliburton Company in 1988.

Texas Instruments is committed to creating, manufacturing and selling useful products and services to meet the needs of customers around the world.

-Patrick Haggerty, Texas Instruments Mission Statement

Competitor Texas Instruments has always maintained the top ten semiconductor sales. In 2005, it was second only to Intel and Samsung, followed by Toshiba and stmicroelectronics. The main competitors of Texas Instruments include microchip technology, Cypress Semiconductor, integrated equipment technology, Samsung Electronics and Xilinx.

Texas Instruments has the largest market share in the semiconductor industry, with an estimated total available market exceeding $37 billion. The latest report shows that the market share of Texas Instruments is 14%.

According to Reuters, under the pressure of investors, Texas Instruments had to abandon their mobile chip project-OMAP processor family based on ARM. This project consumes a lot of money and human resources, but these can't shake the dominant position of competitors such as Qualcomm. There are fewer and fewer mobile manufacturers who choose to use Texas Instruments OMAP (Open Multimedia Application Platform), and more choose Qualcomm, while Samsung and Apple have their own exclusive processors Exynos and A6. The biggest disadvantage of OMAP is that its chipset has no 3G/4G modem.

In this way, the manufacturer of the chipset using OMAP has to use additional wireless chips, which invisibly increases the production cost and battery consumption.

Community In 2008, Texas Instruments launched TI E2E Community, which provided a platform for global electronic engineers to discuss and seek help.

Education Texas Instruments is also famous for making calculators, and TI-30 series is its most popular early calculator product. It also manufactures graphic calculators, from the original TI-8 1 to the most popular TI-83 Plus model and the latest series of TI nspire.

Industry Cognition In 2007, Texas Instruments was awarded the Best Global Supplier of the Year by World Trade magazine.

Values for four consecutive years, from 2007 to 2065438+00, Texas Instruments was listed as the "most ethical company in the world" by Ethisphere Institute, and it was the only company selected in the electronics industry.

Business Development The history of Texas Instrument Geophysics can be traced back to 1930. Clarence Ketcher and Eugene mcdermott set up a company called Geophysical Business Company to provide geological exploration for the oil industry.

1939, the company was reorganized as coronado company. 19411On February 6th, mcdermott and three other GSI employees J Eric Zhan Sen, Cecil H Green and H·B· peacock acquired GSI Company. During World War II, GSI manufactured electronic equipment for the US Military Signal Company and the US Navy. After the war, GSI continued to produce electronic products. 195 1 year, the company changed its name to Texas instruments, and GSI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Texas instruments.

National defense electronics began in 1942, and Texas Instruments began to enter the field of national defense electronics with the detection equipment of submarines. These technologies are based on geological exploration technologies originally developed for the petroleum industry.

In 1980s, the product quality of this industry became a new focus. A quality improvement plan was launched in the early 1980s. In the late 1980s, Texas Instruments, Eastman Kodak Company and United Signal Company began to participate in the formulation of Motorola's six standard deviations.

Such products include radar systems, infrared systems, missiles, military computers, laser navigation bombs and so on.

Semiconductor As early as 1952, Texas Instruments acquired AT & amp； T's manufacturing department spent $25,000 to buy a patent certificate for producing transistors. At the end of the same year, Texas Instruments began to produce and sell these transistors. Patrick Haag Hagarty, the company's vice president, is far-sighted and aware of the bright future in the field of electronic technology. Later, Gordon K Thiel, who used to work in Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, joined Texas Instruments after watching an advertisement in The New York Times, was appointed as the research director by Hagarty, and returned to work in his hometown of Texas.

Thiel brought his expertise in semiconductor crystals to work in June1953+1October. Hagarty asked him to set up a team of scientists and engineers to maintain Texas Instruments' leading position in the semiconductor industry. Thiel's first task is to organize the company's Central Research Laboratory (CRL). Due to Thiel's previous professional background, this new department is based on Bell Laboratories.

Wilkes Ardox, another physical chemist, joined Texas Instruments at the beginning of 1953, and began to lead a smaller research team dedicated to the development of growth junction transistors. Soon, Aldox became the principal researcher of Texas Instruments.

Silicon Transistor 1954 1 10 In October, Taniban developed the first working silicon semiconductor in Bell Laboratories. This work was reported at the conference on solid-state devices in the spring of 1954, and then published in the Journal of Applied Physics (26,686-691(1955)).

Gordon Thiel also independently developed the first commercial silicon transistor in February 1954, and tested it in February 1954. 1954 In May, at the National Avionics Conference of the American Society of Radio Engineers (IRE) held in Dayton, Ohio, Thiel officially announced his achievements to the outside world, claiming that "contrary to the grim prospect of silicon transistors that my colleagues told you, I can just put these things in my pocket. Contrary to what my colleague told you about the bleak prospect of silicon transistors, I happen to have several silicon transistors in my pocket. ), a paper entitled "Some Recent Developments of Silicon and German Materials and Devices" was published during the meeting.

At this point, Texas Instruments became the only company that mass-produced silicon transistors. Subsequently, in 1955, a diffusion transistor using solid impurity diffusion was invented. But at that time, the price of silicon tube was much more expensive than germanium tube.

Jack kilby, who works in the Central Research Laboratory, developed the world's first integrated circuit in 1958. Kilby had the initial idea of integrated circuits as early as July 1958, and demonstrated the first working integrated circuit in the world on June/0/0/0/2/958. Half a year later, robert noyce of Fairchild Semiconductor Company independently developed an integrated circuit with interconnection, which is also considered as one of the inventors of integrated circuits. Kilby was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 for his contribution in the field of integrated circuits. The chip developed by Noyce of Fairchild Company is made of silicon, while kilby's invention is made of germanium. In 2008, Texas Instruments set up a laboratory named kilby to study the innovative thinking of semiconductor technology.

TTL Texas Instruments' 7400 series transistor-transistor logic (TTL) chips were developed in 1960s, which made the use of integrated circuits in computer logic more popular.

The microprocessor Texas Instruments invented the handheld calculator in 1967 (at that time, the price was as high as $2,500). Subsequently, 197 1 developed a single chip microcomputer, and in the same year1April, the first single chip microcomputer patent certificate was issued.

Sound synthesizer chip TMC0280 sound synthesizer

1978, Texas Instruments introduced the first single-chip linear predictive coding speech synthesizer. 1976, Texas Instruments began to study the application of storage intensity, and soon they began to focus on the application of voice. The result of this research is TMC0280 single-chip linear predictive coding (LPC) speech synthesis system, which becomes the first commercial product that can simulate human voice through electronic reproduction. This achievement has been applied in many commercial products of Texas Instruments. 200 1, Texas Instruments transferred it to Sensory Company in Santa Clara, California.

After developing semiconductors and microprocessors in new industries, Texas Instruments encountered two interesting problems about engineering and product development. First, the chemicals, machinery and technology used to make semiconductors did not exist at first, and they had to be "invented" by themselves; Second, the early market demand was small, and the company must "invent" the "uses" of these products to open up the market. For example, its first transistor radio was invented in this way. Another example is the household thermostat developed in the late 1970s, which is installed on the wall and controlled by a computer, which is probably ignored because of its high price. Texas Instruments has set up an industrial control department in Zhan Sen, Tennessee to produce automatic process control computers for the chemical and food industries. This business is very successful. 199 1 9 Texas instruments was sold to Siemens, and then turned to military and * * * facilities. The best example is the manufacture of electronic equipment in the Apollo moon landing program in the United States.

TI is an Asian company, which has been doing business in Asia since 1960s and 1950s. It first engaged in sales and marketing work and applied technical support, and then rapidly increased semiconductor assembly and testing facilities, as well as materials and control manufacturing. Asia is the base of the most advanced and important semiconductor wafer manufacturing plant in the world. In addition, TI Asia market also covers educational products, including teaching calculators.
