TI celebrates the 75 anniversary of its founding

May 17, 2005 Beijing TI news (TI) in May 16th ushered in the 75 anniversary celebration, to become the company's history an important milepost. While reviewing the history of the company, TI staff will continue to promote technological innovation, a positive and far-reaching impact on global technology.

TI TI chairman Tom Ann Geib (Tom Engibous) pointed out: TI employees are characterized by a warm welcome to meet the challenge, and strive to excel. For TI people, almost nothing is impossible. Because of this, the company can continue to achieve remarkable results."

The revolutionary results of TI include: the introduction of new technologies for the exploration of global oil resources during the Great Depression; the production of the world's first commercial silicon transistor in 1954; and the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958. In recent years, TI has become a recognized leader in the field of real-time signal processing, the technology is the driving force of mobile phone, HDTV, portable media player, high-speed network, digital cameras and other electronic products and communication technology development and other digital technology progress.

TI is the world's leading supplier of DSP and analog semiconductors, these two technologies are the main technologies in real-time signal processing. More than half of the world's mobile phones are using TI wireless solutions. In addition, TI is also the world's leading DSL modem, IP voice (VoIP) solutions and mobile WLAN product suppliers.

Recent innovation:

TI in early 2005 announced the launch of the world's first single-chip mobile solutions. This groundbreaking product in the laboratory has successfully achieved the customer calls, and will greatly reduce the cost of basic type mobile phone, so that tens of thousands of people worldwide are able to experience the magic of Telecom for the first time in life; TI launched in 2004 OMAP 2 processor, it will bring a variety of multimedia features for advanced mobile phone. Including DVD quality video, audio, digital TV broadcasting, 3D games; TI in 2004 launched the world's first 1 GHz DSP. The product can be billions of operations per second. The speed can help medical researchers to develop the system, help the blind see. Other developers can also be used for auto, automatic vehicle without driver development; TI Cinema technology for DLP cinema can be re created 35 trillion kinds of different colors, true to life quality, so that the audience really into the plot of the movie. DLP technology can also be applied to 75 rear projection HDTV. Historical innovation

TI was founded in 1930, was the development of signal processing technology and its application in the field of oil exploration pioneer, as a starting point, TI has always been a pioneer in leading companies.

TI pioneered the commercialization of silicon transistors, the initiative to accelerate the transition from the vacuum tube to the solid-state device. In 1958, TI Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit, opened the door for space exploration, and eventually spawned the modern electronics industry.

In 1967, TI invented the hand-held electronic calculator, revolutionized mathematics and science education, and began to enter the consumer market. In 1978, TI launched the first single-chip voice synthesizer, has taken a revolutionary pace, which is the first low-cost speech synthesis technology products (Speak & Spell).

Recognizing the need to provide close support to customers, TI established its operations in the UK as early as 1956, becoming the first semiconductor company to conduct global thinking and operations. TI is also the first foreign semiconductor company operating in Japan, the first foreign technology company to enter India. At present, TI has manufacturing, design and sales outlets in 25 different countries.

After creating a glorious history, TI employees are creating a better future. Ann Gilbert said: "TI is the goal of technology development potential to the apex, and beyond the limit. What we do is not only to make the dream possible, but the most important thing is to make the dream come true. We have been working for 75 years, and never stop."
