American semiconductor company based in Dallas — which developed the first integrated circuit (Jack Kilby, 1958) and the first pocket calculator (1967) — and which became a major producer of digital signal processors and embedded processors.
Co-invented the integrated circuit and commercialized it for consumer applications — the TI calculator being the first consumer product built on the IC — while building a major semiconductor franchise in digital signal processing that persists to the present.
