Jacob Day took a five-year break from his career as an analog design engineer at our company to teach students that the best way to learn engineering is through trial and error.  “The educational system tends to teach kids to solve problems based on a recipe that leads to a single, correct solution," he said. “But the real world isn't like that. There’s more than one right answer.”
 

Thanks to a partnership between our company, non-governmental organizations and some of the government schools in Bangalore, India, motivated students are embracing education as the path out of poverty and into a better future.

Voyager, Apollo, Mariner – these space missions may never have been possible without the invention of the IC. Jack Kilby's integrated circuit helped solve technological challenges of space flight by allowing engineers to put multiple electronic circuits on a small, flat piece of semiconductor material, saving weight and power.

Ultrasonic technology gives water meters installed in smart buildings and smart cities the ability to detect and localize leaks as small as one drop every few seconds. 

More than 250 public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are scattered across Dallas, in small clusters of two or three at grocery stores, hotels and shopping centers. It’s a patchwork infrastructure of park-and-plug spots in major cities around the United States.  

In the race toward autonomy, carmakers are dreaming about possibilities for the car-turned-computer. Hope is among the innovators and problem-solvers helping carmakers determine how technology can make their dreams reality. 

When a system fails on the factory floor, each second of downtime equals dollars down the drain – about $22,000 per minute for some automobile manufacturers.

TI has selected Richardson, Texas as the location for our next 300mm analog wafer fab. The decision to build a second fab in Richardson furthers our ongoing commitment to North Texas and is an important step in our strategy to invest in more 300mm manufacturing capacity, which is a competitive advantage for our company.
